<DIV>I'd suggest something that is NOT downtown, but IS near a trolley station.
I have no personal experience with any of the following: </DIV>

Some of those are downtown...</DIV>

<DIV>I think Tom got a place in San Ysidro the last time he came-- after finding
the hotel he had booked, had canceled his reservation because he hadn't
actually paid in advance (and re-sold the room for about triple what he had
reserved it for). So, first, check the rates for the dates you want (many up the
price during the summer... and even more when they know there is going to be
something like Comic Con...), and pay for the one you select now. Just like
buying the "memberships"....</DIV>
