California - Need a good budget hotel to stay in San Diego………

I am a media student and I need to submit a project on the night life of San Diego. I am looking for a place to stay in San Diego. Due to the upcoming festive season I need to book the room in advance. Can anyone suggest me a good hotel that suits my budget and it must be close to the night-out venues? Guys, I am looking forward to your suggestions.

Welcome to FlyerTalk.

Fodors and Frommers both recommend La Pensione (http://www.lapensionehotel.com/) as San Diego's top budget choice. It's got a great location on Little India, a bustling restaurant area.

Gaslamp Quarter is the big nightlife area for tourists. It's walkable if you are a good walker. You can call the hotel and see if there is bus service.

There's also a hostel in downtown San Diego.

And there is Priceline.

This past April, I was in San Diego for a week-long interview with a tech company in the downtown area (followed by an extended week visit). Their HR department sent me an email suggesting some really good low-priced budget hotels and hostels. Here is what they suggested:

Gaslamp Quarters Hotels (http://www.gaslamp.org/directory/lodging.html) (Comfort Inn highly recommended)
San Diego Hostels (http://sandiegohostels.org/) (approx $25/night)
Other hostel listings (http://www.realadventures.com/listings/1022959_USA-Hostels-San-Diego) (approx $26/night)

Have a great time there! I spent the first week in a hostel and then I spent the second week at the Comfort Inn. I extended my vacation because of the Red Bull Air Races. :-)

I must say that the nightlife of San Diego is rocking. The magic of this beautiful city comes alive during night and there are many places here that really rock! You will have to give one evening to one particular destination. You must visit the lively streets of Gaslamp Quarter. There are many good budget hotels in San Diego but I will vouch for California Suites Hotel (www.californiasuiteshotel.com). From here all the night-out venues are easy to reach and by staying here you can save some money too. This time of the year, the hotel offers some good discounts. Plus, the breakfast is free Give it a try and I am sure you will love staying here.

Good luck for your project.

Enjoy.......
