One of the most fun things to do when visiting San Diego is staying at either of two hotels–Bahia Resort or Catamaran Resort. You can ride the Bahia Belle Sternwheeler in Mission Bay free with your night’s stay at the hotels. The summer schedule kicks in after Memorial Day allowing visitors more times to ride. The hotels are one mile distance from each other with the Catamaran generally costing a bit more for your hotel room. Both have beaches on site and the boat stops each night at both hotels. It is one of the most unique perks we’ve ever seen in booking and staying in hotels in San Diego, but even if you choose to stay elsewhere, you can still purchase a ticket for the affordable ride, which is around $10 (subject to change).
