2) places nearby to get breakfast. I expect to have lunch and dinner with my relatives (we'll only be there for 2 days, maybe 2.5)
3) a reasonably nice hotel experience (hard and soft products) - ideally the hotel would have been built or renovated in the last decade.
I'm not too concerned about sightseeing. My relative recommended the Sheraton based on its location, but was hoping for some cat 1-4 options so I can use my voucher. I'm only a Gold, so the lounge is irrelevant.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to use your Cat 4 voucher. You won’t be in the room that much.
I would say the 4Points by SeaWorld but there seem to be a lot of negative reviews. That could just be from disappointed families who were expecting a nice vacation spot and ended up in an industrial neighborhood. The hotel is pretty new.
Another option would be the Residence Inn in Kearny Mesa- that is less than 15 minutes from BayHo- straight down Clairmont Mesa Blvd. It seems to have pretty good reviews.
And if you are traveling after April 2019 a new Cat4 is opening up in Liberty Station.also about 15 minutes away. Liberty Station is in Point Loma.
If you save save money by using your Cat4 certificate go have breakfast in Mission Beach at JRDN at Tower23 or Brockton Villa in La Jolla Cove - both overlooking the Ocean.
After breakfast you could take nice walks and soak up San Diego. In MB you could walk down the boardwalk. And La Jolla Cove is really pretty.
Finding parking is the only challenge.
