I stayed in The Hilton on Union Square. It wasn't budget but I got a good deal by pre-paying from the UK and the Hotel was fantastic! However....we fell in love with the area near Fisherman's Wharf and WHEN we return (not if) then we will opt to stay there. On our first day we took a combined tour of the city and Alcatraz. It was fantastic!! The coach took us to all the districts allowing us to stop and take photos etc. It also gave us an idea on where we wanted to visit during our stay at San Fran. We were there when the Chinese New Year Parade was on last February and it was wonderful to see the streets filled with people celebrating. Fisherman's Wharf is a must! you have to try a bowl of Clam Chowder in Dough Bread!!! Just wandering around the pier is an experience in itself. I regret taking a trip North over the bridge to see all the Redwood trees etc....but then its an excuse to go back! I fell in Love with San Francisco! Its a wonderful place!

Depending what you mean by budget I would recommend the Chancellor Hotel on Union Square, fantastic location and decent rooms for a reasonable price.
