🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
San Diego International Airport (Terminal 1 or 2) → Red Roof Inn - Pacific Beach
💡 Catch the 992 from the airport to Broadway & 5th Ave (downtown), then transfer to the northbound Route 30 on 5th Ave. Get off at Garnet Ave & Bayard St, then walk 3 blocks east. Cheapest option but takes patience—use a Pronto card for tap-on convenience.
San Diego International Airport (via shuttle to Santa Fe Depot) → Red Roof Inn - Pacific Beach
💡 From the airport, take the free shuttle to Santa Fe Depot (downtown). Board the Blue Line north towards UTC, get off at VA Medical Center station. From there, it's a 10-minute walk east on Baxter St or a quick bus (Route 30) to the hotel. The trolley is frequent, clean, and avoids traffic jams.
San Diego International Airport (Terminal 1 or 2) → Red Roof Inn - Pacific Beach
💡 Catch the free airport shuttle to the Transit Center on Harbor Dr (near Terminal 1). The 215 runs along Pacific Hwy and transfers to Route 30 at Broadway. This avoids downtown detours and cuts travel time by 15 mins vs regular buses. Pro tip: get a day pass for $6 if you plan multiple trips.
San Diego International Airport (SAN) → Red Roof Inn - Pacific Beach
💡 Uber or Lyft tends to be cheaper than a hailed cab. From the airport, walk up to the ride-share pickup area on Terminal 2's ground level—avoid the curbside chaos by following the signs.
