Temporary Lodging Facilities

Long term temporary Navy and Marine Corps quarters are not available in the San Diego area. Military families must utilize the Navy Lodges, Marine Corps Inns, and NAvy Gateway Inns & Suites, or local hotel and motel accommodations when searching for temporary lodging facilities. Civilian hotels and motels are available in varying price ranges. Most exceed the cost of the Navy Lodge, especially during the summer months. Some civilian hotel/motel accommodations offer special military rates and some are available on a weekly/monthly basis. The Housing Welcome Center at Naval Base San Diego maintains the Military Value Program (MVP) which lists the military discounts and amenities at civilian lodging facilities. It is highly recommended that you make advanced hotel reservations in order to ensure you have a place to stay while seeking permanent housing.
