Easily…read moreaccessible from Belching Beaver, Mother Earth Brewing, and Wavelength, the Vista Transit Center can wisk you away to the inland mists of Escondido or the cool breezes of Oceanside. Additionally, you can meet an eclectic array of folks waiting to make their way away from the first inland spot west of the Pacific ocean. Skate hoodlums and bottle collectors use this station as a jumping off spot to make tourists uneasy and regretting their decision to head East towards Escondido rather than South towards San Diego. Overall, a great place to puke onto old railways before rallying for a Sculpin at Larry's after exiting in Oceanside.

Poway Midland Railroad is located in the heart of Old Poway Park. A quaint section of Poway that…read moreincludes restaurants, shops and of course the community park itself. Train rides are available on weekends and if you work up an appetite, be sure to visit the Hamburger Factory for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's located adjacent to the Railroad station just a few steps away. You can also pack a picnic and bring it to Old Poway Park. It's a perfect place to relax and watch the train make its way around the park. The Poway Midland Railroad is owned by the city and is well maintained by the Poway Midland Railroad volunteers. If you come to visit, be sure to check the latest schedule for current dates and time of operation. These folks love to share their knowledge of old antique railroad equipment and who wouldn't love a ride on an antique locomotive.

My daughter couldn't stop smiling, and seeing her so happy made the trip even more special. The tickets are very reasonably priced, which is a bonus. If your child enjoys trains, this place is definitely a must to visit. It won't disappoint! I do wish it was open during the week as well, but it's definitely worth the trip!

We paid $32.50 in cash for round trip tickets for 2 adults and 1 child, easily accessible via the vending machine and not too difficult to understand. The ride itself felt smooth and was a nice scenic route to see sights such as the Del Mar Racetrack and of course, the Pacific Ocean (be sure to sit on the right side for a better view). Seats were not too bad, even had rows facing sideways available and appeared clean. The train passengers seemed nice and I didn't feel too uneasy, it was a comfortable train ride, felt like we were coasting on the Coaster.

In July 2022 I rode the Blue Line Trolley to Comic Con.  It took about an hour as I had to transfer to a 2nd trolley line in order to get to the Convention Center from UTC.  The price was $5 for a day pass which I found quite reasonable.  The trolley was pretty new and they kept it clean.  Ride was smooth.  Not too many people riding the Blue Line. I like riding the trolley and plan on taking it whenever I go to Comic Con or jury duty as it's cheaper than paying for parking.

This railroad station in Downtown Carlsbad serves the Coaster computer rail line between Oceanside…read moreand Downtown San Diego. It has a single side platform for the single set of tracks that go through Carlsbad. Overall, I think this is a very nice station. North County Transit District buses also stop here, most importantly in my book, Route 101 that runs on Historic 101 between Oceanside and UTC in La Jolla. There are over 400 parking spaces at the station, which is a short walk to restaurants, coffee shops, retail shops, and more. The Carlsbad Village station is not the historic Carlsbad station that was used by Santa Fe Railroad until 1960. That station still stands about 1/10th of a mile south.

Our room was clean, easy to find, and had listed amenities (fridge. microwave). The AC worked well (if you get cold like me, take an extra blanket) and the pressure was great in the shower. A little too strong for the sink. We were pleasantly surprised to have the restroom cleaned during our stay. We assumed motels didn't provide that service. Since it is by a street, it can be a little loud during the night with cars driving by. We didnt mind, since we live in an urban area, so it sounded like white noise to us. Overall, great price with all the needed accommodations. The parking was a concern for us, especially with the new condos being built next door, but there were plenty of spots during our stay. But we also were there during the week instead of weekend.
