If you're reading this, you probably know why I'm going to be there...
Any thoughts on somewhere cheap but clean, preferably with kitchen privileges?

I wish I was in CA! I'm in the South. (in my case, the lax is for lacrosse)

I have had a lot of success with booking my rooms on priceline. I have stayed at the Holiday Inn Express which was fine and pretty close.
Best of luck!

I wish you were in LA too! I was picturing you there, in the nice weather...
Now I'll think, "Lacrosse", which is pretty cool too

Read the reviews on tripadvisor first. Usually you can get a pretty good feel for the place by reading about recent guests' experiences. My husband is in the hotel industry & knows that tripadvisor is where you'll find honest, recent info about a place. (And photos!)

We stayed at the Hampton Inn - Poughkeepsie. Very nice, offered free breakfast and was suite style. Also have a nice indoor pool and Jacuzzi for the aches/pains. About a 15 minute drive to the "man"

Thanks for all the lovely support / good wishes, as well as suggestions
BUT BUT BUT, the reviews are _mixed_; some say nice and clean; one says, "Dirty carpets and stained ceiling tiles". The owner says I can have a fridge and microwave at no additional charge...
Any modifications to your suggestions, taking account that I'd like something to "do" in the country while I'm there?
What the h* is hotwire.com "Secret hotel" -- they won't tell you the name of it until _after_ you book??? Anyone done this? Sounds scary to me...

BTW, make sure you always have cash for the bridge tolls. My husband and I took one wrong turn and ended up on a bridge. We had to stop at an ATM to get $ to cross back over.
The area is BEAUTIFUL!
My goal is to one day be well enough to walk across this:

LAX: Well, I SAW the walkway -- now I know why you said you hope to well enough one day to do it -- it is LONG! Even though I'm much improved from where I was, I couldn't do it now, either...unless I were to pitch a tent once I got to the other side, and had two picnics in each direction...
