Hotel recommendations for Cali:

Budget ($27-50/night):
Basic guesthouses near the main strip. Look for places with good reviews on Booking.com.

Mid-Range ($69-115/night):
International chains like Ibis or Holiday Inn. These usually have breakfast included.

Premium ($136+/night):
Luxury apartments via Airbnb.

Guest-Friendly Policy:
Avoid local-owned budget places — they may refuse visitors.

Location tip: Stay near the central business district.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.
