Place to stay in San Francisco...

Hi guys and girls
Wow, it's been a longtime since i've even logged in to the forum. I hope you all are doing well. I still don't have a Lotus but I am taking a road trip to San Fran at the end of the month with a couple friends to attend the big music festival at the Golden Gate park (outside Land). It's going to be freaking amazing. Anyways, I was wondering if anybody knew an affordable place to stay around that area, or had any recommendations etc? We will be there from the 28th - 30th (heading back to San Diego on 30th night). Anyways, thanks in advance for the help. Hopefully I will see some of you northerners in SF.

cheers
Neil

Hey Neil,

Have you checked out rec's on Yelp ?

San Francisco Travel


SF is such a big destination city, there are tons of options depending what area you want to stay, what you consider to be affordable, and so on.

Have fun, SF is a great place.

Thanks for the input, i'll look into both

Try priceline.com. When I was working on a project out in DT SF, I did not pay over $79 a night for hotels such as the Hyatt, Hilton, Mariott, etc. Not fleabags by any stretch.

Let me know..

Stan

Had heard Tenacious D was a last minute fill in (think it was the Beastie Boys that dropped out). Out of curiosity took a look at the line up. Lots of great groups, are you going to be there for all three days? Even on a regular weekend, parking can be tough in and around the Golden Gate Park. Might want to look at staying somewhere within walking distance.

Might want to double check the 25% discount these guys, are giving:

San Francisco's Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival - August 28-30, 2009
