Do you know a cheap hotel (50$ to 80$) with private bath located downtown San Francisco (UnionSquare...)?

Question

I am planning a trip in mid-october, and I am looking for a place to stay, hotel, or even at someone's appartment in exchange of a small rent. I would like to be located near Union Square, as it seems very central to interesting places. Thanks.

Answer 2

The hotels around Union Square are the most expensive in the city. Nothing under $300 a night. It's designed for the business travelers. Look into a youth hostel in Ft. Mason, the Holiday Inn on Van Ness. Stay away from anything on Market Street unless you like being held up. There are motels on Lombard Street in the Marina and Cow Hollow neighborhoods. Here's a great list: http://www.sftravel.com/bgt.html

Answer 3

The best area and the cheapest hotels are available along Lombard street. I suggest you stick to that area. There are some decent SRO hotels in North Beach which are more "San Francisco-ish". I know there's one above the SF Brew Co. You have to share a bath in those places, but they're cheap and authentic.

Union Sq. is not exactly a place with many apartments, it's mostly hotels. And not far from the Tenderloin, one of the worst areas in the city.

Suggest you troll craigslist.org.

Answer 4

There is a great hotel off of market and 4th (about 2 blocks from Union Square and on all transportation routes) called the Mosser. It is really clean and close to everything, although the rooms are pretty small. They have some rooms with private baths and some with shared so be sure to specify. Try looking them up at Expedia.com

Answer 5

Go here:

http://www.ultimatehotels.com/index.cfm/section/external.hotels/CityGuide/San-Francisco/hotels.html

and search by location. But you are not going to get something in Union Square for that price. This is the most touristy area and designed for the commuter/traveler business person.

Also try expedia or something like that because they might have some deals going the same time you want to be there.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Try Priceline. I have always had good luck and paid about $60 a night for rooms in: Japantown, Embarcadero, Union Square, Catherdral HIll.

Dear Emma,
I found a good hotel that fit your description for: $50 - $80 with a private bathroom.The one problem I was having was that it is not really near union square,but fishermans wharf and the Golden Gate Bridge is only a short distance away. I suggest you bring your car with you.Here it is: http://www.hotels.com/property.do?COYear=2006&searchID=AC102642-4865-CE91-0D42-92F0EE697E67&propertyIdsToCompareString=&destination=8d4456fb-4038-4a55-bcbe-aa544ab549ad%7Ccc2ece3c-1604-43af-9386-12d602b423e3%7CSan+Francisco%2C+CA%2C+USA%7C1&mtnHotelID=295711&numrooms=1&roomOccupancyString=1%7C%7C2%7C0%7C0&searchMtmPropertySupplierId=&PSRC=B12&usertypedcity=&paging=10&alternateSell=&searchType=&sortBy=PRICE_DESC&CIMonth=-1&CODay=-1&allPropertyTypesSelected=true&COMonth=-1&priceRangeKey=1&TSRC=1&CIYear=2006&CIDay=-1
