Perhaps try staying in fremont? It's ~45 minutes away from San Fran but it's usually a lot cheaper. (As far as I remember.)

I just search and found Marriott has hotels in Newark Silicon Valley for 104 a night, Napa Valley $110, San Jose $114, Oakland $144, Palo Alto $149. I suggest you stay in Palo Alto or Napa

I stayed at the Lombard Inn for about $110 a night or maybe even just $100 in April! It looks dumpy from the outside but location is unbeatable, and the beds are comfy and rooms are honestly fairly good considering the price!

Try Sausalito

Stay anywhere south of SF along the Caltrain. Simple commute in and out of the city.

We rented an apartment for the week we were there in 2012. Less than 5 minute walk from Haight-Ashbury. Perfect! Totally reasonable too!

Myself and two girlfriends stayed here last summer it was great. It's a hostel but I'd say somewhere between a hostel and a boutique hotel would 100% stay there again. http://www.adelaidehostel.com

The Adelaide Hostel San Francisco is the best of the San Francisco Hostels, San Francisco...

Just went to San Francisco. Stay outside San Fran. Before you go there sign up for uber. Taxi fair is like 50+ bucks. uber is only 19bucks from airport to downtown. Really cheap to travel there. Best advice I can give take a nice warm jacket or hoodies. It's really cold there.

Affordable Accommodations in San Francisco Area
San Francisco is a beautiful city, but it's no secret that finding reasonably priced accommodations can be a challenge, especially during peak tourist seasons. However, with a little research and flexibility, you can discover some budget-friendly options that won't break the bank.
Consider Nearby Cities
One of the best strategies for finding affordable lodging is to look beyond the city limits of San Francisco. Cities like Oakland, Berkeley, and Emeryville offer more affordable options while still being relatively close to San Francisco. These areas are well-connected to San Francisco via public transportation or a short drive across the bay.
Airbnb and Vacation Rentals
Airbnb and other vacation rental platforms can be a great way to find budget-friendly accommodations in the San Francisco area. You can often find entire apartments or houses for rent at a fraction of the cost of a hotel room. Plus, you'll have access to a kitchen, which can save you money on dining out.
Hostels
If you're open to shared accommodations, hostels can be an excellent option for budget travelers. San Francisco has several well-reviewed hostels that offer private rooms or dorm-style shared rooms at very reasonable rates. Hostels often have communal kitchens and common areas, which can be a great way to meet fellow travelers.
Off-Season Travel
If your travel dates are flexible, consider visiting San Francisco during the off-season or shoulder seasons. Hotel rates tend to be lower during these times, and you'll also enjoy fewer crowds at popular attractions.
Final Thoughts
While finding affordable accommodations in the San Francisco area can be challenging, it's not impossible with a bit of creativity and flexibility. By considering nearby cities, vacation rentals, hostels, and off-season travel, you can experience the beauty of San Francisco without breaking the bank.

Does anyone have any ideas for cheapish places to stay in the San Francisco area from August 6th to 9th? My husband and I have been looking in the whole bay area, and it's crazy expensive! We don't want to stay in a dive, but even the dives are over 150 dollars a night. We are willing to stay an hour or so away from SF. Any ideas would be very much appreciated!
