I WENT THROUGH YOUR link to HOTWIRE!!! :) 4* San Diego Gaslamp, June 4 $239 Fitness, business center, restaurant, high speed internet. If there is a 4* with a POOL, then it is usually the Solmar I have found. If no pool, then it is usually Marriott. But if you really want a pool, you can use the one at the other Marriott about 4 blocks away. I go for the ballgames, and it is adjacent to PetCo Park. Great location and great hotel. Just curious as to what the 3* is in gaslamp. The 4* downtown/Harbor Island that is a "customer favorite" is usually the Sheraton Marina, and it is just too far away. A 4* that is not a customer favorite, I have gotten Manchester Grand Hyatt--which is very nice and a much better location for downtown.
