Our fellow blogger, Mary Jo over at the , recently posted complete with her favorite times at the hotel.
You may recognize the beautiful building done in Queen Anne architecture from the movie Some Like It Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, and Tony Curtis. It has also hosted 11 U.S. Presidents, royalty, movie stars, sports stars, and other famous folks.
Even if it’s a bit too pricey to stay overnight, Mary Jo recommends taking the tour and having lunch or an ice cream sundae in such a beautiful setting. It’s a great way to experience the hotel’s past and toast to its future!

San Diego’s Mission Bay Photo courtesy of Carrie Tayloe
While you’re on vacation you might be inclined to use the gym at your hotel, but consider waking up early and going for a jog along . The spectacular boardwalk is one of San Diego’s most serene spots (particularly in the mornings in late afternoons).
One of the best ways to enter the bay is in Pacific Beach. Head down Fanuel Street to the Bay (from the 1-5 exit on Grand/Garnet, take Grand or Garnet west toward the beach and then take a left on Fanuel. Follow Fanuel Street to the Bay. You’ll cross PB Drive, and then La Palma; there will be parking in that area either in the parking lot or find street parking). Along the bay is a beautiful boardwalk which you can loop or take over to the beaches. Happy travels!
