Those "$5 a night fleabags" are now "$90 a night fleabags". One of my
clients recently needed to put someone up for a few weeks. After a week of
searching, they found a place that had a room continuously available for
several weeks at the bargain rate of $85/night. When the fellow came into
town, he called the company and said, "This is a joke, right? Where am I
REALLY staying?"

A friend who occasionally comes into town to help me tune up my network
started using hostels a couple of years ago, but now stays in the guest
room. There is no question that lodging is very tight here in the valley.
