4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in San Diego

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit San Diego is during January, November, and December, when hotel prices are typically lower. To fully appreciate the city's significant landmarks, cultural sites, and natural beauty, it’s advisable to plan for at least a 2 to 3-day stay. During your visit, you can explore attractions such as the renowned San Diego Zoo, the picturesque beaches, historic theatres, and various museums, all of which offer great value for money and enriching experiences. With prices potentially dropping during these months, you can enjoy an affordable getaway while soaking in the rich history and vibrant culture of San Diego.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to San Diego, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to keep informed about flash sales and special promotions, so you're less likely to miss potential savings. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a handy comparison tool available through the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities. With these resources, you'll be among the first to know if prices drop or rooms become available for your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you secure a better rate for your stay in a San Diego hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we will suggest alternative dates that could potentially help you save.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive, but with San Diego's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that remains well-connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
