I'm attending a conference in San Diego next week and Mrs. tigre and our two kids (under three yo) will be coming down for the weekend. I currently have the Westin Horton Plaza booked for $189 on Fri. & Sat. night. But I now have second thoughts.
While I can't seem to get a better rate, I wonder if the Sheraton Marina might be the better choice. At the Marina, it appears we'll have a better pool, free breakfast, better chance at an upgrade and free parking (we'll have two cars as Mrs. tigre is coming later). Is the Westin just such a better hotel that it negates the Marina's positives? I'll be attending the conference on Sat. during the day, so the family will be on their own (although they plan on going to the zoo). I know there's more to do around Horton Plaza, but is that also true for a family with young kids?
