Picking the right base

  • • Coming for a convention or a special occasion? Bayfront, no contest.
  • • Driving through, or here for the border? I-5 corridor — cheapest rooms, fastest freeway access.
  • • Traveling with family for several days? Eastlake or Otay Ranch for space, parking and quiet.
  • • Here for the beach? Silver Strand or Imperial Beach, and skip the inland drive entirely.
