Planning a 4 day trip next month to San Diego (1st time) with my gf. What’s the best area to stay in and any hotel recs (preferably Marriott brand)?

Ideally would like to be by the beach (enjoy surfing), good food, and scenic area. Thanks!

I’ve stayed at the SpringHill Suites in downtown and would recommend it! There’s many things to do within walking distance so the location is excellent! If you’re flying in, the hotel was about a quick 15 min uber ride from the airport. We didn’t get a chance to check out the beaches though, so I’m not sure how far those would be from downtown.

I’d do a search of SD, plenty of good suggestions posted here in the past year, mine included which I gave a 3 page list

If surfing is priority I think maybe stay near Encinitas beach/solona beach. There is a courtyard there that is right on the beach and that area is considered some of the best for surfing. It’s a little hike from down town /little Italy but there plenty of restaurants in your area as well. Also there is a spring hill on beach in Carlsbad but even further out from downtown.

Question on UK visa-

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
