Kids and I went Embassy Suites in La Jolla for a short getaway. They don't care if it's 1 hour from the house or 10. It's still a vacation to them. They all like staying in a hotel room and eating a buffet breakfast in the morning, so it's fine. We could have done it in Brea, and it wouldn't make much difference.
But this trip was just far enough and they had never been to this hotel before. It had an indoor pool and an outdoor jacuzzi. Several Starbucks were within walking distance. Next door to the hotel was a PF Changs with a great happy hour deal and kids menu. The kids wanted to stay in the room mostly, but we did a fair amount of walking around, including a trip to the Scripps Aquarium and Torrey Pines State Park. I used Hilton points so it was all free.
Torrey Pines has several trails that end up on the beach or on a cliff above the beach. The weather was perfect and the kids enjoyed the hike. We were going to find a geocache, but I couldn't get the maps on the Droid to work right.
It was a great short trip and the kids enjoyed it.
