The other RI's you mentioned are WAY out of the way to the Zoo, Sea World, and Downtown.
OP wants to use certs/points, though, which I presume are limited to category 5 and below.
Anyway, the Sorrento Mesa one is still a reasonable distance to those places IMO, assuming you're driving outside of the normal commute times. I've never stayed there but I pass by it every day on the way to/from work and it looks nice enough outside. There's a Vons (Safeway), Smart and Final and a Grocery Outlet a few miles east of there on that same street for groceries and such, too.
