Stay and Park in San Diego

[CruiseFarmer]

We are considering sailing out of San Diego. Does anyone know if any hotels near the cruise terminal allow you to park your car for free while on your cruise, combined with a stay in the hotel of course?

Posted earlier there were 3. We are on Infinity out of S.D. to Hawaii Oct. 9th. We picked the Best Western Bayside (619)233-7500. The first 7 days are free - after that $5.00 per day in a covered garage. Shuttle to the pier every 20 minutes. $159.00 per night. The others are Hampton Inn, (619)233-8408 - room rates $119.00 to $159.00 and $10.00 a day to park and Marriott Res. Inn (619)338-8200, room rates $159.00 to $300.00 and $8.00 a day to park. These were the only 3 I could find. Hope this helps.

Thanks Karen for the info. Those are good options but maybe there are more.

I do not think are going to be many more hotels in the immediate area of the pier that offer good deals on parking. The pier is on the edge of downtown San Diego, where parking is at a premium ($20 per day or so on most of the office buildings). Many of the hotels charge for parking in addition to the room rates. If you are looking for free parking, you are probably going to have to go to a hotel in, say, Mission Valley where there is more available parking.

I just returned from a cruise out of SD, and stayed at embassy suites. It may be more expenseive than others, but free breakfast and manager reception made the stay EXCELLENT - Free transportation to the pier.

Thanks for the info. Was parking for 7 days included or extra? We don't mind staying further out if our car is safe and the hotel provides transportation to and fro. Any other ideas?
