San Diego accommodation choices
 

I'm finally narrowing down choices for San Diego accommodation for my family of 4. We have decided that we must keep within a budget of US$100 a night, which excludes some previously recommended places. Can anyone please offer their recommendations out of:<BR><BR>Villager Lodge Gas Lamp <BR>Studio Apartment Las Fuentes (apartments in Old Town)<BR>Ramada Inn and Suites Downtown <BR>Best Western Lamp Lighter Inn and Suites <BR>Gas Lamp Plaza Suites <BR>Dana Inn and marina<BR><BR>Thanks so much -- Andrea.<BR><BR>

I'd go for the gaslamp Plaza suites. They are the most centrally located in the gaslamp area,as well as the nicest. The others you mention are more rundown, motel-type places on the outskirts of downtown.

I stayed at the Villager Lodge Gas Lamp about a couple of years ago. It was nice but the room was small & cramped. But I did have a microwave & fridge in my room too. And I remember the room being extremely warm. <BR><BR>I would go with the previous post (though I never stayed there myself but I'm sure it's nice).

Andrea: I recently got back from SD & stayed at the Westin Horton Plaza which is very close to a couple of the places you mentioned. We got a rate of $99 a night plus tax. The location was great for walking around the gaslamp quarter -- lots of restaurants nearby. Keep in mind that hotel taxes are very high though.

i haven't stayed there but the dana point inn is a good location for kids. quite close to the beach.
