Call their tourist info number and they may be able to help you find a hotel. My friends and I went without reserving a room anywhere, and they were able to point us to a hotel in a great location with at a reasonable cost.

beautiful sightseeing~! napavally wine~

Look for a hotel on Lombard Street and than take the Cable Car to get around.
Fall is a good season to travel to Frisco.... there won't be as much fog as in June for example.

Shop around for hotels, there are loads of small, family run ones around the bay area and Union Square that are a lot cheaper than the bigger name ones.

C'est une ville magnifique, je la conseille vraiment à tout le monde. Elle est vivante, et pleine de diversités

Stay in the Green Tortoise Hostel in San Fran. Stayed for a few days in June 07 and seriously didn't want to leave. Met such great people, cheap, free internet, free dinners a few times a week, everyone enjoys themselves at night, within walking distance to everything and right beside China town and Little Italy. Be careful at night though as there are quite a few strip clubs around. I would definitely go back.

I stayed at the San Remo Hotel several years ago. I received very good service and the accommodations were clean and simple. Always check their website for specials. The hotel is also located within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf.

THE city to go around for days and days.... So much to see and do, such nice people, great nightlife etc etc

HOTEL TOMO WHY STAY HERE: Newly renovated and inspired by Japanese pop-culture, the Best Western Hotel Tomo is a special treat in the heart of Japantown.

Each room is a J-pop work of art with its own identity through anime-style wall paintings and views of Japantown down below. Equipped with gaming suites with PlayStation 3, Wii, bean bag chairs, and a 6-foot LCD projection screen, the Tomo is perfect for families or the young at heart.

A Cocker Spaniel greets you at the door, and the decor is like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting. The friendly staff always has inventive suggestions on what to do and where to go in case you leave your Catalog Magazine behind. PRICE: From $73 for a single, to $105 for the Queen Turret room. Neighborhood: Hayes Valley 417 Gough St (between Hayes St Ivy St) San Francisco, CA 94102 (415) 431-9131 www.hayesvalleyinn.com INTERCONTINENTAL WHY STAY HERE: Deeming itself the new heart of luxury, location, and relaxation, the brand-spanking new (as of this year) InterContinental doesn't disappoint in any of the three.

And of course there's that clever movie theme. Each room, besides having a number, also has a San Francisco movie name, which hotel workers vehemently prefer. They provide the video to match the room name, so you know just how films like Bullit, The Maltese Falcon, or even Mrs. Doubtfire have immortalized San Francisco on screen.

It's popular with the in-crowd not because it's a luxurious 5-star hotel with immaculate views and gargantuan suites, but because this place has attitude. Everything about it oozes with style, from the designer pool and cast-iron lawn sculptures in the inner courtyard, to the tattooed and pierced front desk attendants, always excited to beam about their hotel and the latest and greatest scenes around the city. Check the website for some great historical tales and a few more reasons why The Phoenix lives on in infamy. PRICE: Standard King $169. Superior King $179. Deluxe King $189.

Sir Francis Drake Hotel is "historic" and that means old, as in the carpeting is old... the bathrooms are small, but the overall hotel is nice and can't beat the location. Probably overpriced.
