Spend time traveling about and photograpphing down there, stop over night, and then perhaps in to London for day 2? That way you could still spend plenty of time travelling about and photograpphing, prior to a trip home?
Brighton prices tend to be decent. Last year I was booked into the Jurys Inn (just behind the station), and that wasn't too bad - £60 a night I think? I'd be wary of anyone (other than Travel Lodge etc) providing a room for £50 down south.
Jurys tend to be reasonable and for being in the same 'bracket' as a Travelodge apparently, always seem better value.
These are good too.
Especially if you click and get a discounted deal.
