"My favorite place to stay in San Diego. It's right in the heart of Pacific Beach, restaurants within walking distance and other attractions, such as Belmont Park, are a short drive away. And by far, the access to the bay is my favorite aspect of this hotel. I will spend many, many hours during my vacation on the beach here. I have been going to the Catamaran since I was a child and I will be coming back for years to come."
