With T-minus two weeks until Coachella, it's time to start making travel plans. For some of us, that doesn't mean how we'll get there, but rather where we'll stay once we are there. We won't sugarcoat it: Booking an Airbnb or hotel this late in the game means paying a premium. Whether you've snagged last-minute tickets or are just a perennial procrastinator, consider a stay at one of these affordable (which at this point we're considered less than $200 per person per night) hotel rooms and rentals that are still available for the first weekend of the fest.
We've listed the highest available occupancy for each room below, with the corresponding rate per night including taxes and fees. Prices and availability may vary day-to-day and by booking site.
