Does anyone have tips for scoring a hotel reservation in SF during the overlap of Dreamforce and Fleetweek? SPG Platinum override was only available at the Sheraton for $2000/night. Help!

@A1 Thanks but I don't think I can handle it. Consulting has made me soft?

The hotel isn't actually for Dreamforce. It's for a training inconveniently scheduled for the worst possible week.

I had a friend use a hostel last year during Dreamforce!

Oakland

Dreamboat!

I stayed at the palace last Dreamforce for like 400/night and commuted to Mountain View, nothing else was available

Hostelling International has ghetto hostel digs in Union Square.

The palace rocks! I did a minication on my project. Hostel on my dime followed by the Palace on the client's.

AirB&B

Oakland, Berkeley, Daly City, San Mateo are all on the outskirts and might have cheaper accommodation

I think I'm going to stay in Napa. The business case is that Napa / Sonoma is 75% cheaper than staying anywhere in the Bay Area. Plus, shouldn't we stay hydrated for our health?🍷🍷🍷
