This post makes me so happy! For someone who is clueless on this stuff it makes me so excited to see that there are options. I have plans to go to San Diego next month and for just a week and just the hotel alone, it's going to cost me 900.00 !! I decided to see if there were any hostels nearby, And there is one right next to my hotel at only 30.00 a night! I can't cancel this time But next time I'm getting a hostel for sure!
