We enjoyed our stay at the Best Western near SeaWorld San Diego. Breakfast every morning was an added bonus, although I do wish there had been more variety as far as the protein options (it was sausage every day), but it was free to us so I didn't complain. The pool was pretty cold, but the hot tub was wonderful. Staff was very friendly and helpful whenever we needed assistance.
