Hopping from one tourist hotspot to another can quickly add up, leaving your wallet a little thin by the end of your vacation. But don’t despair – there are ways to save money on your trip without forgoing all the fun. Here are some tips for finding cheap hotels in San Francisco.
San Francisco is a city that’s notoriously expensive, but there are ways to find affordable accommodations without sacrificing comfort or location. One option is to stay outside of the city center in one of the neighborhoods like Richmond or Sunset. You can also look for budget-friendly chains like Motel 6 or Super 8.

If you’re looking for a more unique experience, there are also a number of hostels in the city that provide a more affordable option. Hostels often have shared rooms and bathrooms, as well as a communal kitchen where you can prepare your own meals.
