I stayed in the Marriott in Hotel Circle Mission Valley in April as well. It was pretty nice, but I had a friend who works for Marriott and gave me a friend and family discount and even then it wasn't cheap (I'm a college student though, so nothing is cheap). If you stay on hotel circle then there is a pretty nice shopping center within walking distance (ask for a walking map when you check in). There are also a couple cute diners on that road that are reasonably priced. They have a pretty nice zoo that isn't too far from the airport. There is an amazing mexican restaurant in downtown, I can't remember the name but it doesn't sound very mexican at all (Tommy's or something like that). The best burrito I've ever had and a really fun and laid back atmosphere.

Hotel Circle is were you will find the best deals. We stayed at the Days Inn but also notice other good hotels in the area.
There is quite a lot to do and see. On Harbor drive downtown is an area called Seaport Village with shops, restaurants, fish market, and some performers. We enjoyed walking the area and ate at a couple restaurants. A little north of the Village is the USS Midway which is now a historic maritime museum which we found interesting. Went on a harbor cruise with Hornblower cruises. Old Town was fun to walk around and learn its history. Cabrillo National Monument was interesting. I could go on and on If you do want to go on a cruise or to a certain museum remember your fiance can get a discounts by buying tickets at the NEX.
You'll have a great time it is a beautiful area. -
