However, in hotel circle the Crowne Plaza were Tiki Oasis is held really isn't priced too bad. I've had friends get good deals there using those discount travel websites like expedia, travelocity ect. There is also the Motel 6 next to it that gets pretty cheap in the winter. This area is a good central location. I'd also check out Homewood Suites in Liberty Station. This hotel is close to the airport and Shelter Island. If you feel like going big there is also the Pearl.(thepearl.com) It is a boutique hotel that aint cheap but is within walking distance to Bali Hai. The walk is great. You'll pass Trader Mort's and all of the Shelter Island marinas with the Polinesian style arch we like. I guess if money be dammed then Humphrey's on shelter Is. is worth a mention too. If you stay at the Pearl you will be keepin ir real with the cool kid for sure. It is also well worth the trip downtown to Mister Tiki's Mai Tai lounge. Yes it is in the middle of the rat race, yes the music may be a tad louder than Bali Hai but Bosko did that place up right! The drinks are no joke either. IMO the most underrated tiki establishment. For simplicity just park at Park it on Market located on Market st & 6th and walk there. As far as urban arch....I'm sure others can help you out more than I can. Besides Shelter Island, I like the Arby's located at the intersection of Clairmont mesa blvd and Shawine st. I'd do a search on TC for San Diego arch, a frames and such. There is a tread in here somewhere on SD arch. Have fun and good luck. SF Sorry for the crappy picture
