Route overview
Getting from San Diego Airport to Mission Valley
Mission Valley runs east along the I-8 corridor and holds one of the densest hotel clusters in the county, most of it concentrated on Hotel Circle.
The drive from the airport is short but almost entirely freeway, and it is sensitive to weekday commute timing on I-5 and I-8. Event nights at Snapdragon Stadium change the picture again.
Hotel Circle addresses look interchangeable on a map and are not: the north and south loops have separate entrances, and picking the wrong one adds a full lap. Booking with the property name avoids that.
