Manchester Grand is very Grand! You walk in and it’s like a palace, the setup, location, and service is very good. I think it’s a great use of a few Cat 1-4 certificates. As the other poster noted it is a 2 hour drive from LAX though, but if you don’t mind that then yeah it’s pretty great.
The HR Long Beach is centrally located with plenty of food options only a couple minutes walking as well. I’d choose that location second if you want R&R.
Seabird is great but can’t use your certificates there which is why I wouldn’t recommend it.
If you do end up going to SD definitely try Phil’s BBQ it’s been locally owned and operated for many years it’s amazing quality.
Thanks Matt. This doesn't help much because now I feel like all the options are still on the table haha. But it could be a good opportunity to check out the GH. I've stayed at several other SD properties but never the GH. I also have a cat 1-7 to use (which I never have used before...always get the points post-expiration) and tons of points of course, so I think Seabird and Huntington Beach are perfectly legit options...
Is the GH lounge large enough that it can be a relaxing space to chill during downtimes?
