Top Useful Things to Pack for a Hotel Stay in San Diego

Are you planning a trip to San Diego, CA, soon? If so, this blog is made for you. With fall events and festivals popping up all over the city and surrounding neighborhoods like Dia de Los Muertos, Octoberfest, and more, we can't blame you. In our eagerness to receive you, we created a list of the top useful things to pack for a hotel stay in San Diego. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or not, we're sure it'll be helpful either way.

Proper Clothes

While San Diego is known for its idyllic summer weather, its fall season is just as spectacular. Fall in San Diego is filled with days that deliver a touch of summer and evenings that are nice and cool. With the temperatures staying under 80 during the day and the evenings hitting a cool 60 degrees, you can enjoy the best of both worlds without packing anything more than a breezy top for the day and a light coat or sweater for the evening. And while this is all true, the "right" clothes will ultimately depend on your reason for visiting San Diego and the activities you plan to participate in while here.

*NOTE: be sure to check in with San Diego's local forecast to get a better picture of what the weather will be like during your stay and what clothing items are the most appropriate.

WATERFRONT PARK

Parks and preserves remain open in San Diego, though some on-site amenities have been closed for your protection.
Visit the outdoor Waterfront Park that surrounds the existing historic landscape and landmark County building. It features an interactive splash fountain that extends from the building and into the park defining a large civic green. Kids enjoy having a splash, while cooling off on warm days. The park also features intimate garden rooms with distinct themes, a vibrant children's play zone, and several picnic areas.
