Temporary Lodging Facilities
Long term temporary Navy and Marine Corps quarters are not available in the San Diego area. Military families must depend upon local hotels and motel accommodations, the Navy Gateway Inn & Suites, or Navy and Marine Corps Lodges. Civilian hotels and motels are available in varying price ranges. Most exceed the cost of the Navy or Marine Corps Lodge, especially during the summer months. Some civilian hotel/motel accommodations offer special military rates and some are available on a weekly/monthly basis. We recommend you make advanced hotel reservations in order to ensure you have a place to stay while seeking permanent housing. For more information or to make a reservation for a Navy or Marine Corps Lodge anywhere in the world, call 1-800-NAVY INN or visit the website. For more information visit the Navy Gateway Inns & Suites website. To make a reservation, call 1-877-Navy-Bed or visit Navy Lodge or general DOD lodging.
Eligibility/Orders
Reservations are accepted for all eligible personnel on a first-come, first-served basis. Family members staying at Navy Lodges without the military member present are required to show their identification at check-in. Guests of military personnel may stay at Navy Lodges, provided the military member is present at check-in. Reservations and room assignments are made without regard to rank.
When the Navy Lodge is not available reservations can be made at the Navy Gateway Inns & Suites. Eligibility includes Military, DoD Civilians, or Family Members on Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders. Reservations and assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis without regard to rate or rank.
Availability/Costs/Registration
We recommend you make hotel/motel reservations early, in order to ensure you have a place to stay while seeking permanent housing. Civilian hotels are available in varying price ranges. Most exceed the cost of the Navy or Marine Corps Lodge, especially in the summer months. Some civilian hotels offer special military rates, are available on a weekly/monthly basis, have small kitchens, and/or may accept pets.
Maximum Length of Stay
Length of stay depends on the availability. Contact the Navy or Marine Corps Lodge for more information at 1-800-NAVY-INN or visit the website.
