Perched near the ocean in San Diego's most upscale neighborhood, the Hotel La Jolla at the Shores knocked 40% off current rates. Travel through Nov. 5 for $139 per night -- including weekends.

For unobstructed views of the Pacific, upgrade to an oceanview room at $30 more per night. The hotel recently renovated its guest rooms, providing contemporary decor and glass-enclosed showers.

Guests also receive complimentary valet parking and wireless Internet access.

There's plenty to do in the neighborhood: La Jolla Shore Beach, one of the Travel Channel's Top 5 Beaches in the United States, is a five-minute walk from the hotel, which also offers free use of beach chairs and towels. Guests can also stroll to high-end dining, shopping, galleries and the Birch Aquarium -- all set on cliffs that overlook the sea -- or hop on the free hotel shuttle.

The San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld and Balboa Park are less than 15 miles away.

Not available on: Sept. 18-24

Travelzoo Tip: For $25 per person, gaze out over the Pacific Ocean while dining at the hotel's rooftop restaurant; this 3-course dinner is regularly $55. Click here by Sept. 15 to buy a Travelzoo voucher, for use through Nov. 6.
