Travel during quieter weekends Choosing weekends outside major holidays, events, or peak travel periods in Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base can often lead to better rates and more availability across a wider range of hotels. 2. Stay slightly outside the main areas Hotels in well-connected but less central neighborhoods are often more affordable, while still keeping attractions and dining within easy reach. 3. Be flexible with hotel type and room choice Opting for standard rooms or business and city hotels instead of premium or boutique stays can help reduce costs without sacrificing comfort. 4. Compare package deals for better value Weekend getaway packages that bundle hotel stays with flights can often provide better overall value than booking each element separately. ##### Why book with Expedia?
