Sunny San Diego beckons this holiday season with a pair of outstanding offers from two of the city's top hotels.

The luxurious Omni San Diego Hotel offers the "Stuff Your Stocking" package with rates from just $99 per night which includes personalized holiday stockings packed with a book of exclusive discount vouchers to stores and restaurants that are walking distance from the hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter.

For a rate of $175 per night on the "Home Away From Home" package, guests can enjoy a fully trimmed and decorated Christmas tree delivered to their room.

Both packages are valid on stays through January 3 (blackouts may apply) and include the offer to return for a 2010 stay at the same rate.

Consumer reviewers at Trip Advisor.com named the Omni San Diego as one of the "Best in the Top 25 Cities."
