budget accomodation

I don't live near San Diego lately so am not able to say much on this except that I presume there is plenty of budget accommodation. The first place I'd look is Hotels.com - I tend to like that website because they usually show a photo of the hotels and motels.

Have you tried any of the budget hotel websites? Often times you can get great deals on hotels.com, expedia.com, priceline.com.
