Town and Country San Diego

Town and Country San Diego is at 500 Hotel Circle North in Mission Valley, San Diego, California, in the Hotel Circle area just off Interstate 8. The neighbourhood sits in a river valley about fifteen minutes by car from downtown, Old Town and Balboa Park, and Fashion Valley and Mission Valley shopping centres are nearby. The hotel is one of the area's large resort-style properties, set on landscaped grounds with a sprawling layout, and its character is geared toward conventions, groups and families rather than boutique intimacy. Room types include king rooms, double queen rooms and suites, with rates generally from about $130 to $300 depending on the season and events. Rooms are spacious and practical, arranged in multiple buildings around gardens and pools, and suites suit families and groups. Several restaurants and a lounge serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the on-site convention space makes the hotel a frequent venue for meetings and weddings. The property has multiple pools and a fitness center, and the garden setting is a pleasant place to relax after a day of sightseeing. Service is geared to groups and families, and the staff can help with transport to attractions such as Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo and Old Town. A car is the most practical way to travel, though the nearby trolley at Fashion Valley connects with downtown. Parking is available on site, and the cost is usually lower than at downtown hotels. Mission Valley offers value compared with beach and downtown areas, and the trade-off is the lack of a walkable neighbourhood or beach atmosphere. Freeway noise can be noticeable in some rooms.
