To my friends in California....

I'm cross-posting this a bunch of places, so apologies if you get this more than once....

I want to take a Lactation Consultant program at UC San Diego Extension that begins in September and runs through May/June of next year. For those of you that have followed my CLCE program I was doing this fall, this is the next step to that and will make me eligible for taking the IBCLC exam in 2011.

The big difference between this program and the one that I took this fall is that I have to be on campus for 8 two-day times during the program. There are several locations I can choose from:
Stockton (Sept 7-8, Oct 14-15, Nov 16-17, Jan 6-7, Feb 3-4, March 3-4, April 14-15, May 12-13)
San Jose (Sept 15-16, Oct 21-22, Nov 18-19, Jan 11-12, Feb 10-11, Mar 10-11, Apr 21-22, May 19-20)
West Covina (Sept 23-24, Oct 28-29, Dec 2-3, Jan 4-5, Feb 17-18, Mar 10-11, Apr 28-29, May 26-27)
San Diego (Sept 30-Oct 1, Nov 4-5, Dec 9-10, Jan 27-28, Feb 24-25, Mar 24-25, May 5-6, June 2-3)
I am wondering if any of you know of places that are cheap to stay overnight in any of these locations? I'm going to call the school too and see if they have anything set up for out of town/state people, but figured I'd also poke my friends who may be local or who are familiar with things there. I'm also thinking of trying priceline and similar.
