Gaslamp Hotels San Diego

Looking for hotels San Diego way?

My friends Jayson and Hazel recently spent a weekend in San Diego and - even better - they let me post photos from their trip!

They stayed right downtown in the Gaslamp District, at the Ramada Inn St. James Hotel, 830 6th Avenue.

Here they are up on the roof:






It's an easy walk from here to a San Diego beach, since the harbor's just on the other side of those tall buildings in the background.

Balboa Park





They went to Balboa Park, and here's Hazel in front of the Old Globe Theater. That's a replica of the amphitheater in London where many of Shakespeare's plays were originally performed!

Of course the weather's much nicer for watching outdoor plays in San Diego than in London. Just sayin'...

There's so much to see in Balboa Park! So many museums. Here's Hazel inside the Museum of Man:




And here's the tower from the same museum:






Where to eat in San Diego's Gaslamp District

They had dinner at The Marble Room, 535 Fifth Avenue, in the Gaslamp:




Very romantic place!





Oh, and great tapas. Ahi lettuce wraps:




Sauteed mushrooms:




Back to the hotel and one more rooftop snapshot:

Then time for a good night's sleep!

Next: See Jayson and Hazel's visit to San Diego Harbor!
