<P>For those who like to rough it a little, in 2000 I stayed at a pretty
decent Hostel in the Gaslamp Quarter for about $25 a night. It was about a 15
minute walk from the Con.</P>

<P></P>
<P></P>> I called the Con office [(916) 414-1020] and they faxed me the
<BR>> list of <BR>> hotels and rates, not yet posted on the website.
<BR>> <BR>> I have transcribed it. The price quoted is the 1 person/1
bed <BR>> rate. More <BR>> people and beds generally costs more. Most
have an additional <BR>> charge for <BR>> parking. In square brackets I
give the distance from the hotel to <BR>> the <BR>> Convention Center.
The sheet states "All hotels have limited <BR>> availability". <BR>> The
following hotels are on the shuttle routes: <BR>> <BR>> Best Western
Bayside Inn--$139 [1 mile] <BR>> Embassy Suites--$180 [5 blocks] <BR>>
Hilton Gaslamp--$188 [across street] <BR>> Holiday Inn on the Bay--$158 [13
blocks] <BR>> Horton Grand--$175 [3 blocks] <BR>> Manchester Grand
Hyatt--$189 [2 blocks] <BR>> Marriott Hotel and Marina--$219 [adjacent]
<BR>> Omni San Diego--$188 [across street] <BR>> Radisson Harbor
View--$145 [13 blocks] <BR>> Sheraton Suites--$147 [10 blocks] <BR>> W
San Diego--$279 [6 blocks] <BR>> Westgate--$174 [7 blocks] <BR>> Westin
Horton Plaza--$160 (before 4/20/06), $176 (after 4/20/06) <BR>> [6 blocks]
<BR>> Wyndham Emerald Plaza--$157 [8 blocks] <BR>> <BR>> The
following two hotels ARE NOT on the shuttle routes <BR>> <BR>> Marriott
Mission Valley--$139 [4 miles] <BR>> Sheraton SD Hotel & Marina-$179
[1/2 mile] <BR>> <BR>> Good luck! <BR>> --- <BR>> Dana Gabbard
