You might try Hotel Paloma Del Mar...it is a basic Mexican hotel, rooms are small but it is very clean and secure. Nothing fancy but also a decent location for walking to the malecon and the bus runs south toward the malecon and the south side, coming back north it stops a block away. Buses run everywhere and are your most inexpensive form of transporation besides walking. Just be aware it is going to be really hot and really humid in July so make sure you drinks lots of water to keep hydrated. Alcohol will dehydrate you.
The club scene will get expensive on a nightly basis on a budget of $100 a day for lodging, food activites, drinks on the beach and clubs. You also did not say if you were sharing room expenses with a friend which would cut that expense in half.
