Hotels with cribs in San Diego

Suites with a kitchen, for the trip where you'd rather make dinner than find another restaurant.

Suites of about 600 square feet with a sofa sleeper, big enough for a group to share.

Suites with a kitchen for dinners in after a long day out.

Boats to watch in the marina and a heated pool for the downtime between outings.

Suites with a separate sleeping area.

Two outdoor pools on the water, and one of them has a splash area just for kids.

A bayfront beach, tropical gardens with ducks, turtles and koi to watch, and ground-floor rooms that open onto grass where kids can play.

Two kinds of play: a tiki pool and a sandcastle beach.

Its own beach on the bay, plus a shallow wading pool so toddlers get to splash too.

Come for the outdoor pool. For a kid who rates a hotel by its swim, that settles it.
