For convenience, we've researched lodging options closest to the repast, along with transportation options to get to San Diego for the services from the San Bernardino area. Be advised that the bus, Amtrak, and airline options are one-way, not round-trip. Also, the lodging pricing is for the night before the memorial (December 3rd) in case anyone would like to come into town early to avoid traffic on the day of service. If you intend to stay the night of the service, expect a similar cost as listed.
Please note that these prices are as of Nov 17 and are subject to change at any time. We understand resources may be limited, but we advise you to book earlier rather than later to prevent a spike in costs. Please let us know if you have any questions!
