San Diego Hotels

Need to book a hotel for HAL cruise in Jan. Any recommendations?

We have stayed at the Embassy Suites on PCH, the Omni and the Best Western on Ash Street. We could see the ship from our 9th floor balcony at the BW. There is a Holiday Inn directly across the street from the port. All had shuttles to the port.
