Planning to be in SF for 2-3 days in the next few weeks. Any recommendations for cheap but safe hotels? Though, I’m guessing the ones that are cheap aren’t that safe haha.

Your best bet with that budget is likely an Airbnb outside sf, like in Daly City

like

You’re going to have a really hard time in sf with that budget.

At $100 a night in SF I’d start worrying about bed bugs tbh.

Took a brief scan of hotel tonight and even that is bleak. If OP is doing weekend, might luck out on a hotel in fidi area since no traffic on weekend.

like

1) What is your definition of cheap, or what is your budget?
2) What do you want to do while you’re here?

Since you didn’t give many details, I’ll say pick one of the million hotels near union square, just don’t go too far south or west of the Mark Hopkins / Fairmont. North beach, marina, fidi have some hotels too. Stop by the Fairmont if you’re here during Christmas time

smart

That is going to be a tough budget. You might have a few motels in the marina along Lombard St but I think even the nice hostel is $100 a night for a private room (green tortoise in north beach)

like

That budget would barely cover parking in SF. You will need to go outside the city to get anything remotely close to that price point

like

A quick search suggests that Airbnb may have options at that price point (vs. a hotel). It will depend on the dates you want to visit.
Avoid the tenderloin and market areas and you should be fine.
If you are staying in SF with a ferry or bike to Sausalito you do not need a car. Choose a place close to the muni or the Bart and you will be fine.

I figured, I guess I’ll be a bit more flexible to find something better! Thanks all.

Consider staying outside of SF. Alameda is a beautiful little island in the bay that is very safe and has some options around that price point.

Ferry ride into the city is 20 min and $4

there’s a motel on Geary in the avenues that might be in your range. good luck, you’ll have a good time 👍

The Geary parkway motel? I suppose it would be near the 38 bus line + near clement
