Hotel suggestions

Hey, any suggestions on the best place to stay in Cali? I want to be able to walk to Chipi but I dont want to pay an arm and a leg for a single room. No hostels...just hotels....but anyone who has a rave review of somewhere let me know...Im going in December and trying to get everything arreglado before its too late. Thank you

Hotel Americano used to be a good deal... But I haven`t been in Cali for 8 years,so I don`t know if it`s the same. Dan Carlton is nice,but a little of the pricey side.

This hotel really is within walking distance of Chipichape, and is next to good but expensive El Corral hamburgers - http://www.hotelcasadelportal.com/ I have not stayed there. Other decent hotels would be a 20-30 minute walk, which I don't recommend doing in either the hot sun or at night. Their map: http://www.hotelcasadelportal.com/mapa.htm

There is supposed to be a hotel opening in Chipichape itself late in 2008, but it will most likely be quite expensive.

The people who have spoke about the Cali Plaza Hotel at tripadvisor.com seem to think this place is good for the price. 10 years ago the Intercontinental was considered the best but more have opened. virtualtourist.com is another place to check.
