Food and Drink Options
While there’s no full restaurant on-site, the hotel features a small
snack bar and is within easy reach of local eateries. There’s no 24/7 room service, but you’ll find plenty of late-night food options with a short drive or delivery app. Breakfast isn’t served here, so plan on grabbing a bite at one of the nearby cafes the next morning.
Nightlife Options
The Lodge itself is quiet and low-key, without an on-site bar or music scene—but that’s part of the appeal for many. You're a quick ride from downtown San Diego’s
