Where should I stay?

Well if you live in the southern half of San Diego, you can drive down each day but it will cost you parking which will be discussed in the next post. If you're staying over in San Diego, you have a few choices. Every year, a set amount of rooms is put aside for the convention at each of the nearby hotels. The Comic Con website will announce that hotel rooms are available for purchase, and you will get a discount. These rooms can still be very expensive, however. Some other ideas include renting a beach house, staying at a hostel, or camping. One year, I went camping at the local KOA and took the trolley into the convention each day. Rates have been getting higher each year, and camping during SDCC can be just as expensive as a lower budget hotel but it is a fun alternative.
