Braytowncouncil Guide To Travel to San Diego

Braytowncouncil Guide To Travel to San Diego

Posted on by Dalaigh Walsh

When I traveled through travel agency to California with my parents at about the age of 11, one of my favorite attractions was Sea World.

I must say, I even liked it better than Disneyland. As a Montana girl, the main thing California had to offer (other than Sea World) was its weather, which to me was divine! So balmy!

I was looking at Travelocity today and this travel agency in san diego and found a hotel that I thought might be of interest to some of you California-bound travelers. It isn’t particularly fancy, but let’s face it: When we’re traveling with children we are looking for location, function, and price.

With rooms starting around $60, this is the least expensive hotel I’ve found near Sea World. Keep in mind that the Goodnight Inn does not offer a dining room, fitness center, or swimming pool.

As for that pool issue…Isn’t that what the ocean is for???
