Bring lots of money local area is very $$ plus the town shuts down at 8pm.
Also during the summer when the students come back housing goes away.
Santa Fe is ~ 50 miles away (Best Choice over the valley)
Good Luck

Best Western on Trinity is a good spot to stay. Some people say to stay in White Rock.
-
If you are staying long-term, there is a mobile home park about a mile south of the Lab, not too bad of an area, more affordable than being up in the hills.

There isn't much to do there. There are a few Nuclear museums in the area that I enjoyed. 10,000 waves spa for a massage and hot tub, its top 10 in the world.

Leaving in a hour wish me luck and a save voyaged. For thoughts who believe a pray for a safe trip would be nice. To my Nuclear Family "What Long Crazy Trip Its Been" "The Grateful Dead"

I liked Los Alamos-people were good. Not much to do there, but they do have Papa Murphys and the 50's Diner was good. Short term you can stay at the Ashley-they have large rooms and were remodeling so the prices for the rooms were dirt cheap back in the summer.
If you prefer housing instead of hotel-let me know and I can give you a contact for a condo behing White Rock training. Nicest place I found and price was reasonable.

Ladyinrad can you send me a private email so I can talk to you about Los Alamos and lodging..

Anyone got any new info on Lodging in this area? Like to cook my own meals as I am a diabetic-motels/hotels not my top choice because of this-extended stay with kitchen would be sweet!
Thanks,
Duke

No extended stays there. How ever, the apt rental place is very accommodating. Shannon Corp has a lot of rentals in the area. As far as hotels go, (and being a diabetic also), the hotel scene is not the best.

Spent almost a year there and absolutely loved the Santa Fe seen. Lots of great ethnic food, art seen was fantastic, but not a whole lot of night life for a younger person. Did a lot of traveling in the area and skiing in the winter. I found that the drive from Santa Fe was worth the distance. In spring, summer and fall the drive was about 30 to 40 minutes but winter was a little different. Climbing the mountain to LA was in some cases a hazardous affair but they do keep it pretty clean when the opportunity arises. Not much as far as housing in LA proper. A lot of over priced homes and shabby apts. Condos in SF are spendy but if you shop you can find the better priced ones. Homes are generally very expensive. Try to stay on the north side of SF and the trip is a lot easier. They were building a lot of townhouse/condo type areas as I was leaving. White Rock is very convenient but lacks a more respectable life style. Good Luck.
