I am not aware of any specific code requirements for hotel stay compensation. I should think that in the absence of a specific lease provision, the rule of reason would apply, i.e. what is reasonable under the circumstances. I should also think the length of the stay should be for the period the premises were uninhabitable, either due to the damage itself or to the scope of plumbing repairs.

I have linked to an excellent government primer on CA landlord tenant relations and you should be able to find an answer there if a specific law does apply. You may want to talk with a CA lawyer to get a definitive answer. You can find San DIego area lawyers on Avvo (some of whom offer free consultations), or use the local Lawyer Referral Service by accessing the link. There may also be low-cost legal aid services you can access through the last link I have posted.
