Re: 500 West Hotel
If you are low on funds and want to stay at a clean, cheap place, 500 West Hotel in the gaslamp district is the place to stay. I think I only paid $50 a night. It wasn't very crowded when I was there so that made it really good for sharing the bathrooms. This hotel is in a really cool area that has a bunch of funky and fancy restaurants and bars around. Beware....they are pricey. The chick at the front desk was friendly and hot. She did a good job of making sure that everyone signed in.
