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.

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

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

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.

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 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...

Is Japantown a good area?

Japantown is a vibrant and historic neighborhood located in the Western Addition district of San Francisco. It's home to a variety of Japanese businesses, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Japantown is also a popular tourist destination, and there are a number of hotels and accommodations located in the area.

Whether or not Japantown is a good area for you depends on your needs and preferences. If you're looking for a safe and convenient location with easy access to public transportation, Japantown is a good option.

Ultimately, the best way to find the right accommodation in San Francisco is to do your research and compare your options. Consider your budget, your needs, and your preferences, and you'll be sure to find the perfect place to stay.
