Description:
Insiders looking for unusual accommodations head straight for this small pink inn at the northern edge of Balboa Park. This cluster of four Spanish Colonial-style former apartment buildings lie in a mostly residential neighborhood a half-mile east of Hillcrest's heart. The hotel is popular with gay travelers drawn to Hillcrest's restaurants and clubs. All the rooms and standard suites are tastefully decorated; the specialty suites, however, are over-the-top. There's the "Tara Suite," as in Gone With the Wind; or the "Greystoke" suite, a jumble of jungle, safari, and tropical themes with a completely mirrored bathroom and Jacuzzi tub. Seven of the rooms have Jacuzzi tubs, and most have kitchens -- all have private entrances, though the front desk operates 24 hours. From here, you're close enough to walk to the San Diego Zoo and other Balboa Park attractions.
