Steps from Old Town State Park and Presidio Park, the Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel Old Town in San Diego, California, spreads across eight mission-style buildings linked by courtyards and plazas with panoramic city views. It offers an easy ride on the nearby trolley to Balboa Park, the zoo, and the Gaslamp Quarter, along with an outdoor heated pool, a hot tub, a fitness center, and a rooftop restaurant.
Mission-style rooms add to the character, and flexible meeting and event spaces suit gatherings of every size. The hilltop setting takes in sweeping views across the city.
The hotel stands steps from Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, the free open-air museum that California State Parks keeps as the birthplace of the state, where the first Spanish settlement of 1769 grew on Kumeyaay land into a Mexican pueblo, its restored adobes now full of museums, craft shops, and Mexican restaurants around the old plaza. After dark the plaza fills with mariachi music and the smell of fresh tortillas.
