Hi, as hodadhank said, everything really is pretty close. To give you an idea of the scale when you're looking at the map, Escondido & San Marcos are about half an hour away, Chula Vista is probably 15 or 20 minutes (it's only about 15 miles all the way to the Mexican border). Most of the places listed are right in the central area close to the Hanalei hotel - Anything on Hotel Circle or Camino Del Rio is super close, and the places on 1st Ave, 5th Ave, Washington Street, Park Ave, etc are right in the Hillcrest/North Park area, which is maybe 10 minutes away.

It doesn't show the streets, but there's a neat little map here that shows where the different neighborhoods are located, just to give you an idea how close they are:

On this map the Hanalei is kind of right in between where it says Old Town and Mission Valley. Downtown/Gaslamp district would be in the Centre-City East section (again, only maybe 10 minutes from the Hanalei). If you click the tabs at the top (Northern, Eastern, Central, Mid City, etc) it'll show more detail in those areas.

I do recommned Bali Hai and the Hanalei Islands room if you haven't experienced them yet!
Cheers!
