Flight
The venue is located in La Jolla, on the Scripps UCSD campus, approximately 14 miles north of the airport.
Hotel
This hotel is right off UCSD campus, pet friendly and has all the features you'd expect from a Marriott hotel, plus a small kitchen if you want to cook your own meals while you're in town. The family suites can sleep six adults (as long as you're not too concerned about privacy; only the loft has privacy). The Executive suites can technically sleep six, but be warned that there's only two beds and a pull out couch (though there is the benefit of having a door to the lower bedroom).
House Or Rental
If you have a car and would like to explore the local neighborhoods more, you may prefer to get an Air BnB rather than a hotel.
