Is it possible to stay in San Francisco on a budget?

Another sister hotel... Colombus Motor Inn. We stayed in 2016 and would highly recommend.

Good location with 5-10 min stroll to main areas.

We stayed at the Lombard Plaza Motel, on Lombard Street funnily enough.
It was OK, about 20-25 minute walk to Fisherman's Wharf, rooms were OK but it was a bit noisy from the road. Had free parking and free wifi so was fine for the 3 nights we spent there.

We stayed at Columbus motor inn, short walk to the wharf and decent enough for price but nothing fancy

We stayed at Columbus Motor Inn too and would recommend it

We are staying at the Lombard plaza motel- it’s about £160 per night for 4 of us and free parking

We walked to Fisherman's Wharf from there, but we had to get an Uber back, it was a lot of walking.
There's a Safeway supermarket just down the road, came in very handy

I highly recommend using Trivago to search for hotels as will search most booking sites for the best deals, I've spent the last month looking for a nice hotel and struggled to find anything under £170 a night, in the end I looked on Priceline and got a 4* Villa Florence hotel at Union Sq for £92 a night

Only stayed in San Fran once and found the hotels were out of our price for what we wanted to pay... gambled on Hotwire and managed to nab 3 nights at the Holiday Inn on the wharf for £63-00 per night...

Oh this was in 2009

So after deciding on Columbus motor inn, I tried to book it but it was fully booked for my dates. Back to the drawing board then.
I started looking again and went through Expedia as I had a £50 off code. Cow Hollow Inn was still on my shortlist but the reviews constantly mention how noisy the rooms on Lombard Street were, plus I couldn’t get free cancellation anywhere. I then spotted a hotel called Hotel Del Sol. Same area but had free continental breakfast and a pool. I’ve booked it with free cancellation and was happy with the price so fingers crossed 🤞

I booked there when we went a few years ago. It was featured on Good Morning America as a hidden gem in San Fran. I've stayed in a few JDV hotels and I like their unique styles and boutique feel.
We stayed at The Tuscan in the end so can't personally recommend it.
