Hotel Miles away from Masjid al Haram

Assalamu Alaikum, I am looking to perform Umrah for the first time later this month. However I see everyone saying they are booking hotels minutes walk away from the Haram. The hotels that are less than 20 minute walk are all at least about 250 a night. Would it be a bad idea to book a 1 star hotel 3 miles away and take a cab to the masjid daily it would be about 70 a night. I'm going solo not sure what to expect. May Allah bless me with provision so I can afford a hotel a walk away from the Kaaba next time I go.
