Between golf courses and craft breweries, San Marcos offers a perfect blend of recreation and relaxation. Twin Oaks Golf Club and Lake San Marcos Executive Course welcome players of all skill levels under reliably blue skies. The impressive California State University campus adds youthful energy to this North County gem. After a round of golf, sample local IPAs at the city's surprisingly numerous craft breweries where bartenders discuss hop varieties with evangelical fervor. For outdoor enthusiasts, Montiel and San Elijo Hills dog parks provide scenic spots to stretch legs – canine or otherwise. Lucky Strike and Regal Edwards deliver entertainment options when the rare rainy day appears, though locals insist such weather is merely a rumor.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Diego North, CA
8/10 Good
"Overall a fine place to stay. The rooms and interior were bright and clean. The breakfast buffet was ordinary. The fitness center was well equipped and maintained. I wasn't crazy about having to pay $10/night for parking."
La Jolla Shores Hotel
8/10 Good
"The room was great, a little dated but well kept. We didn't know half the building would be under construction so the noise was a bit of an issue and the lack of pool was disappointing. But the staff was very attentive and the neighborhood was very cute with nice restaurants. I would go back."

"It was a last minute stay that we loved. So convenient to the shops and restaurants in La Jolla. The staff was helpful with recommendations. Our room was large and clean with a huge closet. We will definitely stay here again when we have more time to explore!"
Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area
10/10 Excellent
"I loved the property! Well maintained, and staff is working constantly to keep the grounds in shape. It is a little out dated, but the property is huge. Cleanliness is definitely more important to ME, I feel they did a great job. There are activities to do all day if you want to stay busy and many pools to relax by with plenty of chairs. I will definitely be back."
