Weather and hotel in October

Hi%26#39;

I%26#39;m visiting San Diego in October (the airshow at Miramar).

But what weather (approx. degrees) to expect, and do you know of any good hotels central to the base. And is the area around the base safe ?

Best regards

Weather and hotel in October

The weather during October is usually our best of the year (September is the only month that typically has better weather) - mid 70%26#39;s, and the majority of visitors are gone so it will be less crowded.

The area of the base is safe, but it%26#39;s not a particularly central area in which to stay, and it%26#39;s not one of the prettier areas of San Diego. You will need a rental car if you are planning to visit the Miramar Air Show, as the public transportation in the area is very minimal.

If you want to stay nearby, I would recommend the area around UTC (University Town Center), as it%26#39;s a nice area with lots of restaurants, a nice mall, and several hotels, including a Marriott, Embassy Suites, and several others relatively close. You could also stay in Mission Valley/Hotel Circle, as that%26#39;s not too far away from Miramar (as long as you have a car), but more centrally located. Again, not a pretty area, and quite congested with traffic, but many hotels in all price ranges from which to choose.

What is your price range and desired amenities, how many people - and will you have a car? That will allow us to help you further with accomodations.

Here are some further details:

We are 2 persons travelling together and will rent a car at the airport so a little distance doesn%26#39;t matter.

';Normal'; price limit is USD 150. Prefer some shopping options nearby.

Thank you for answers.

Why not stay at a Vagabond Inn? The one in Hotel Circle is not far from the airport, near Old Town, and LOTS of shopping is nearby. You can be in Hillcrest is up the hill within a couple minutes for more shopping and good dining, and Balboa Park is just a minute or so past Hillcrest.

You%26#39;d be next to an interstate freeway for east-west travel and the I-5 is less than a minute away for north-south trips (going south to downtown or north to La Jolla, Laguna Beach, etc).

I used to live in a condo on Hotel Circle South, and the location is great!

Best of all, the rates for October are under $100.00/night (as low as the high 60%26#39;s!).

When visiting S.D. every year now, I always stay at the Vagabond Inn in Point Loma or at the Dolphin Motel (also in Point Loma), so I know Vagabond Inns are nice, clean, and a great value.
