Anyone know a decent but cheap place to stay in L.A.?
I will be staying Wednesday August 29th-Saturday, September 1st (Leaving Sunday, September 2nd so a 4 night stay).
The thing is, is that I had a $200 plane ticket voucher to use by September 2nd and was pretty much obligated to go somewhere or lose out on this money. So my flight total was $300, leaving me to pitch in $100 cash. As I mentioned my boss had told me he thought it would be nice if I could enjoy a longer vacation so he offered to "cover" the cost of a 4th night. To then which he said "I will give you $100" - well I come in to work a few days later and he had left me only $80. Still nice of him, but not really enough to "cover" my expenses for a whole extra day.
Now I have spent $100 on a plane, $40 on the theater tickets, $66 to see trance DJ Armin van Buuren play on Thursday night, $30 to see trance DJs W&W play on Friday, night... for a total of $236. But there is also cost of food, cost of alcohol at the clubs the DJs will be playing, transport (bus and taxi)... I tried to set a total budget for myself of $580, which leaves ~$343... and out of that I have to book my hotel as well.
I have been reading reviews and looking at hotels for the past few hours. I thought I had one picked out before I booked my hotel but now when I think about it, it is kind of a ways to travel from the clubs the DJs will be playing at later at night and I don't want to be arriving to a shady hotel at those hours. If anyone has any suggestions, even if it's something along the lines of "well I know this one looks/sounds bad but take my advice, it is not as bad as it's made out to be" to put me at ease, I would very much appreciate it!!
My trip is kind of turning into a financial nightmare...
I'll look forward to the show though!
