I am travelling with my daughter to San Francisco and trying to find a hotel or accommodation, I have been looking on hotwire, does anyone know any other sights I could try? airbnb and vrbo are just as expensive as hotels and the ones I have seen are tiny with a single bed, thinking a hotel may be a better deal this time around. I did find a deal on hotwire for a hotel in Japantown, is this a good area? I read on hotwire that the deals can be better the closer you are to your… See more

We stayed at a hotel in Japantown several years ago. We loved it. We walked a couple blocks and caught a bus or cable car downtown. Fair number of good restaurants and shops nearby. Think the hotel has changed, but now the Kimpton Buchanan.

I saw that hotel come up in my search that is good to know, just wondering if i should roll the dice with hotwire and see what hotel i get....

I just did that in Seattle and got a complete dive!

With hot wire make sure it's 60% or higher recommended and then you are usually good

Learned that lesson the hard way haha

Also look into airbnb

I usually stay at airbnb but the prices or more expensive are the same as the hotels but the rooms are smaller. The rates are good but service charge and ocupancy taxes eat at thevsavings

I have used Vacassa and never been disappointed

uber is big in San Fran, I would seriously consider it for your travel needs around the city.

Thanks we downloaded it and she got a 10€ coupon off the first ride from a friend.

The Metro hotel is great. It's on Divisadaro. I've stayed there a few times. The area is wonderful and access to all types of transportation.

Filly booked during my time there. It looks really cool
I might try calling them to see if that works better than online

Check groupon travel section. See the odd SF hotel pop up once in awhile

Thanks i will check it out. I gorgot about Groupon

Years ago I stayed at the Green Tortoise. Not sure if it's still around but it was fun and affordable.

look at Chris Myden page on FB. Awesome deals on there. Or what about that Newell chick from the news?

Or try ACT? They might have tips?

I had an experience with hot wire once where I booked a room for a 2 person occupancy and was provided with 1 queen bed. Which would be fine if I was travelling with my partner and not a coworker. The hotel and hot wire would not budge stating that it was in the fine print and I should've booked through their partner website HOTELS.COM if I wanted specifics. Long story short we ended up paying extra for them to bump us up to a 2 double bed room.

I will keep that in mind i have used hotwire in the past and it has been good but things do change

I occasionally use HOTELS.COM, and if you go to their website via the ebates website you get a rebate (when you sign up). I don't know if they will be any cheaper...
