San Diego Marriott La Jolla

If you're hoping to make La Jolla your home base while in San Diego, this Marriott outpost may be for you. Though the hotel is about 14 miles north of downtown San Diego, it's surrounded by a bevy of attractions, all located within a 7-mile radius of the property. Shoppers can head across the street to the Westfield UTC shopping center, sun-seekers can retreat to La Jolla Shores, adventurers can traverse the trails at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve and animal lovers can gawk at the vibrant sea life showcased at the Birch Aquarium. After a long day of exploration, travelers can retreat to well-equipped rooms, which recent visitors described as quiet and comfortable. Accommodations are outfitted with king-sized beds (a guest favorite), flat-screen TVs, minifridges and floor-to-ceiling windows, and some rooms travelers say you can see the ocean from. There's also a 24-hour fitness center on-site, as well as a rooftop swimming pool and two dining options, one of which specializes in California cuisine. And because of its family ties, this hotel allows visitors to earn or pay with Marriott Bonvoy points.
