Gnarfgnarf hotels in San Francisco, California

Seals get territorial, so don't try Pier 39 for cheap accommodation

A FEW HOTELS AT REASONABLE PRICES

A decent place to stay is going to cost you a lot of money in the city where property prices have shot up with the technology boom, but haven't really fallen with its bust. Not much more to say, except that you are likely to spend most of your holiday budget on accommodation.
