San Francisco
I am fortunate in being able to go to SF with work for a conference in April. My daughter will fly from the UK to meet me there. I wont be able to afford the conference hotel for our extra week, so does anybody have any recommendations for a nice hotel that is in a safe area and close to everything we would want to see as tourists but that won't impact too much on our spending money :)

After trying your conference hotel's website for the following week try Expedia etc. to get a range of prices for those dates. Anything you see in Expedia that you like compare with that hotel's own website which may have better deals. Cross-check everything to Tripadvisor to read info and, more importantly, reviews. If you can be arsed (and, if you're seriously trying to save money you should be) look at Hotwire. Sites like Betterbidding and Biddingfortravel have sections that help you 'de-code' the amenities and locales in Hotwire to work out which hotels they're offering (or at least narrow it down). Finally Flyertalk often has the inside scoop on good hotel deals - I've saved a packet over the last year or so by frequenting there. SF's a great city to visit. Have fun! :) |
Re: San Francisco
I stay in SF every month and book on Priceline.
Choose option 10 which is Union Square East Or Option 11 West Union Square Nob Hill. Bid on the 4* option and then down grade to the 3 1/2 star ;) if no luck. Option 10 I usually get the Hyatt right in the center of Union Square for $50 a night normally about $200 OPTION 11 Its the Hilton or Parc 55 that come up, all excellent hotels in fab locations ;) these too have never come in more then $75 a night :D The bad news is its way way to early to be booking yet, to get a priceline deal...the good news there is plenty of availability any time of year in the above hotels. |

I got the Park Hyatt (now Le Meridien) for $55/night a good few years ago on PL. Best stay ever. :thumbsup:

Re: San Francisco
Public transportation or rental car? I always take that into consideration. If I'm driving it's one thing, if I have to rely on public transport it's another.
