Frommer's Review
One of San Diego's most glorious Victorian houses was lovingly restored in 2005 into what is now known as the Britt Scripps Inn. Built around 1887, the property was occupied for more than 45 years by one of San Diego's most prominent families: the Scripps. To this day the name is attached locally to everything from hospitals to newspapers. The home and surrounding grounds have been converted into a 9-room "estate hotel" -- part B&B, part luxury hotel. Offering first-class amenities like 1,000-thread-count sheets, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and heated towel racks, this gracious lady lays on the personal charm as well, with gourmet breakfasts including homemade pastries and breads, late-afternoon wine and cheese, and a vintage Steinway piano in the music alcove. Staff is always on site, but usually out of sight. The inn has a list of striking architectural elements -- seven gables, a dramatic turret, wraparound porch, twisting oak staircase, and a two-story, three-paneled stained-glass window. And it's all just a block away from Balboa Park.
