In terms of where to stay, there can be quite a lot of variability in cost, so check out all of the major hotels and see where the deals are. Particularly in the summer, the hotels can be very expensive as they can reach capacity, particularly if there is a conference in town.
In order of preference the ones I stay at are:
The Andra
Hotel 1000
The Thompson
Motif
Motif is probably the best in terms of price of that group and is still really central.
If it is your first time, you'll likely be surprised by how messed up some people are. You'll have a lot of people walking around on something but you'll have some people who are in REALLY crazy states.
In addition to a lot of the already great suggestions
- The Aquarium is really good if you are into marine life
- Get a burger at Dick's Drive-in.
- As someone just said, any place owned by Douglass is great. I would recommend going to Dahlila Bakery (right by serious pie) and having one of his breakfast sammies.
