Hot-air balloons drift over the vineyards of the Temecula Valley most mornings, and the Best Western Plus Temecula Wine Country Hotel & Suites, Temecula, California, sits right in the middle of it, walking distance from Historic Old Town and roughly halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego.
Air-conditioned suites bring refrigerators, microwaves, and 55-inch LED televisions, with a pillowtop bed, a queen sofa sleeper, a living area, and a work desk, plus complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout. An indoor heated pool, an on-site fitness center, and a full business center round out the stay for a comfortable visit.
Dozens of wineries, golf courses, and antique shops fill the surrounding hills, with the Promenade mall close by and a complimentary full hot breakfast and 24-hour coffee to fuel the day before the morning's balloon launches. Historic Old Town's shops and restaurants, and the valley's vineyards are right outside the door.
