The Mission Valley center point is around the area of Linda Vista and the area of Hotel Circle.
The San Diego area, including Mission Valley, has some of the best year-round weather in the country. It rarely gets hot and rarely freezes, and if it does, for a very short amount of time. With that, all seasons are delightful in Mission Valley.
High season is from May to September as many families and college kids flock to the area when school is out for the summer. The hotels fill up quickly and the rates are the highest during the summer months, so book early on and look for great deals as the rates will be quite high. Keep in mind that summer evenings and mornings get foggy during the summer, so make sure you pack a light jacket or sweater.
Spring is a slightly slower season, although, with various spring break schedules, you will still see plenty of families and kids vacationing in the area. Again, book early for spring visits and look for hotels with package deals.
Fall is the best time of year to visit to avoid crowds and for the best weather. The crowds have thinned out, spring rains and summer fog are long gone, and the days are warm with beautiful clear skies. Fall is a great time to visit and you can generally find rooms easily at lower rates.
Winter is low season, except around the holidays when people come to Mission Valley and Old Town for Christmas festivities and to celebrate New Year's. If you are planning on being in Mission Valley during that time frame, book early.
