I hate to see what you define as an enemy, Bunny.
I spent a 4-day weekend in San Francisco back in 06. I stayed at a small gay bed & breakfast on the edge of Castro. It is on a quiet residential street and I found it quite pleasant.
I personally didn't consider San Fran my cup of tea but I hope that you enjoy it. Public transport is pretty good in San Fran so where you stay probably isn't all that important.

My Thai friend and I stayed at the Villa Florence in May of this year. GREAT location and great hotel for a very reasonable price we thought . The hotel is right on Powell where the Cable cars run. Arriving by air simply take the BART to Union square and walk about one block. Good Thai food across the street.Quote:

The whole branch is effectively shutdown and the building - and what used to be the hotel - has been taken over by the City to house homeless persons (or some such nonsense)....
Given that a lot of U.S. hotel chains have standardized services and rooms, it really does not matter which one to go. It only matters if you want to spend time in a "specialized" type of hotel.
I usually use priceline to bid for a room. Also, I use this website to determine how much to bid and what kind of hotel I want: bidding for travel. On that website, members review the hotels and post how much were their winning bids. Hope it helps.
P.S. Depending on whether it is an "el nino" year or not, it can rain a lot in February.
Staying downtown SF anywhere near the warf or Chinatown....will cost you easily $200 night..........even the outlying areas will be hard pressed to find less than $100 night.......But please do go......It will be worth it..!! I suggest to take the Trolly from the Warf up the hill to Chinatown........Lunch at the warf and dinner in chinatown.....!!
Not ringing any bells.Quote:

There is also a calendar of conventions so you can see what you'll be up against. There a couple of big ones in Feb.
I gave a quick look for places in to $100 or less range and there are a couple of good ones, and a few duds. If yopu have your eye on something PM me and I can tell you what I know about the hotel/area.
Weather is probably going to be rainy and cold. There is a chance you can hit a warm spell with weather in the 80's but don't bank on it.
