Places to stay:
Where you stay while you are in town really depends on what you’re looking for in your trip.
Do you want quiet relaxation or to take in some wineries and the back-country area? Do you want to be as close to the training location as possible? We recommend staying in Ramona. You may even consider Julian, which is a mountain getaway town in the Cuyumaca Mountains made famous by its Julian Apple Pies.
But if beaches and San Diego are on your To-Do list, then staying in Poway might be a better option. Poway is in the heart of inland San Diego and a reasonable distance to beaches, the airport, and our training location. Poway has all the amenities you couple possibly want or need.
PREFERRED LOCATION: Riviera Oaks Resort – Ramona - http://rivieraoaks.net/
