Marriot Marquis is my favorite. But can get pricey. Hard Rock in gaslamp is awesome too.

Any hotel in gaslamp really

I liked the US Grant, luxury collection SPG. Stay in and around gaslamp district. Traffic isn't an issue in SD, everything is close. Balboa Park offers more than just the Zoo, check out the artisan village. Little Italy is quite impressive, many great restaurants, Yelp is your friend and accurate. Enjoy!

The Marquis and US Grant are both over $300/night but only ~12,000 SPG points (equivalent).. any preference for either?

I live in SD and I've done some staycations downtown and stayed at the Andaz Hotel. Nice rooms and cool rooftop pool/bar area.

I'd do air bnb downtown personally; gas lamp or anywhere near the baseball stadium.

Marriott cause it's on the water. Get bay view room

Other option is Coronado island but I'll be there Friday nights anyways for work. Worth moving into the city?

Nothing to do on Coronado. Gaslamp is where you want to be. Pacific beach is good too, if you're younger (under 30)

I had filed a complaint against Goibibo, who delayed my flight cancellation request until 1 day before departure hence the airline charged a higher cancellation amount.

A friend of mine introduced me to the portal when I filed a complaint explaining the matter in detail, uploading Twitter DM screenshots, where the company was clearly denying responsibilities on the above.

Took 2 months but today my refund was initiated by Goibibo.
