25-30 minutes
Both Coronado and La Jolla are beautiful coastal tourist towns.

Any underrated hotels/resorts on the beach? (Could be Coronado, La Jolla or anywhere along the coast)

Although not on the beach, the US GRANT is very underrated, it is a magnificently beautiful hotel and a steal at just 12k spg points!!

I am headed to SD with spouse and two kids. (Compliments of Delta airlines :-))

What are the best places to visit and the best hotel to stay in? Should I just book the cheapest hotel on Hotwire?

Do you want to be near a shul?

Get a go pass. Sea world. Lego Land. A couple of small amusement parks. La Jolla cove

I'm not staying over Shabbos, so a shul within 20 mins driving range is good enough. If there are great cheap hotel rates further, then even if it's 30 mins it's fine.

Also, my kids are 1 and 3. Do these amusement parks offer anything for that age? Shows? Little kids rides?

I stayed at residence inn right near the shul. Great points value.
We went with 2.5 and 6 month old. The other. Older one loved the rides.
Zoo and sea world will be great for both kids. Lego Land for the older one. Bunch of museums near the zoo.
How long is your trip?
Can't stress enough the value you get from a go card
