Reserve a hotel in San Francisco city be cheaper than downtown and have access to public transport?

Q. Hi, I am traveling to California this Friday. Want to stay in San Francisco for 2 nights then go to LA from San Jose on Sunday early morning where I will be meeting a friend. Prefer to stay in a hotel where I can easily use public transport to see the SF (or take a tour bus). What part of the city I can reserve a hotel to be cheaper than downtown and have access to public transport too. Thanks

A. You might want to consider a hotel near the airport and use Bart to get to the city.

If you want to stay in SF check out this hotel in the Marina

How expensive is to rent an apartment in San Francisco?

Q. I will spend some time in San Francisco (1 month) and I'm considering to rent an apartment in order to be able to cook and have a little bit extra space, but I'm wondering if that is expensive or cheaper than a hotel room for the same amount of days.

A. You most likely wont be able to rent an apartment for that amount of time anyways- but if so, itll be expensive. You may want to google short term furnished corporate apartments- but if your willing to stay outside of the city in a suburb and drive in, then you are more likely going to find the better bet at a motel that specializes in long term stays from around 150 a week (i.e. extended stay america hotels) (which fyi- a month stay runs around 1200-1600). They come with everything you need including the kitchen and supplies etc but wont charge you for utilities like the corporate stays would.

Who knows an affordable hotel in San Francisco?

Q. I'm looking for an affordable ( < 60 $ / night) hotel in San Francisco. Who can recommend one/some to me?

A. San Francisco isn't a small town in the Midwest... it's expensive. Finding a hotel for under $60 a night, while not impossible, is very improbable and would depend very much on a particular date. Since you didn't mention the date(s) you'll be here, searches won't be of much use. Regardless... I suggest trying one of those discount broker sites (I just did one for a random day on http://travelocity.com and it came up with a few in and around San Francisco - the lowest being $56 a night, and in San Bruno just South of San Francisco, but all the others being over your price range).

If you really can't spend over $60 a night, I suggest a hostel. They're far cheaper... as low as $20 a night if you're willing to share a room. Though some may have private rooms available in your price range. http://www.hostels.com/
