Hyatt in La Jolla also very nice
Hyatt Regency Mission Bay is nice. You just need to make sure that you stay in the new section

Using the least amount of spg/Marriott points preferably , what would be my best option. I have never been to San diego so not sure what the different areas are. Seems like all four points are 7k a night.

4 Points/Sea World is centrally located and I personally enjoy staying in that area. Never been to that Hotel. Usually Stay at Hilton San Diego Resort close by.

If you have any specific questions i would be happy to answer them, i stayed there twice once in a noisy room right above the entrance second time i got a ocean view suite which i really enjoyed but the property itself is nothing comparable to the hyatt mission bay

I thought its in Mission Valley, how is there a Ocean View Suite?

How does it compare to other properties in the same price range?

What is nicer Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Mission Valley Stadium or  HILTON SAN DIEGO MISSION VALLEY ?

Also any trick to avoid the charges (the website say there is) for parking?

I will be in San Diego Sunday evening to Wednesday evening. Would like to do Sea World, Tide Pools, Torrey Pines, and Coronado.
Would it make sense to spend 2 night in La Jolla - not ssure which hotel is better - the Sheraton or Residence INN? Just 2 adults, no kids
And then one night at Coronado Marriott?

Do you mean Hilton San Diego Mission BAY?-This is far superior to Mission Valley. Great Centralized location. Very Nice Hotel.

There is a limited amount of parking available on the street. Or about a hundred yards south of the hotel is a public lot for the beach.

I stayed there twice had a bad experience both times. I had platinum status too but it meant nothing over there. Also, unless something was done in the last 2-3 years property is very tired and in a major need of a face lift.

I had family members that were staying at the Sheraton at the same time it definitely sounded better. I have not personally stayed there though. If you will only be there during the week there are many great options outside of La Jolla. It's nice there but for me the only reason to sleep there would be for Shabbos. It doesn't take that long to drive back and forth. IIRC both Westins downtown were really nice.

I do not, but would consider opening a card if it is a better hotel than the marriot or starwood properties
