How to find a San Francisco hotel hot deal
- 11 Nov 2009
If you’re planning to visit San Francisco, chances are that your hotel room will be the biggest cost of your trip. A decent hotel room in San Francisco is $70 a night at least, while a more fancy one can cost up to $120. Here are some tips to help you find the best San Francisco hotel reservations deals:
.
Step 1 – If you’re looking for a room at a particular hotel during summer, the busiest season, book well in advance. The best time to visit San Francisco is winter, when many hotel prices are lower due to less demand.
Step 2 – Learn about San Francisco’s neighborhoods and their location. For example, Union Square is the most central neighborhood and has a lot of good hotels available, but it is not necessarily the most interesting area to stay, while Mission District is a young and lively neighborhood, but is more remote and has few decent hotels available. You may want to avoid Tenderloin, which is cheap and close to the civic center but can be dangerous, especially at night. More typical neighborhoods like North Beach or Haight are recommended. If you can afford a little luxury, I suggest renting a hotel room in Nob Hill.
Step 3 – San Francisco is a popular destination all year-around, so you might find its hotel rooms quite expensive, but you can still find good bargains if you make a thorough research. Don’t hesitate to call the hotels and ask questions. Most larger hotels, and many smaller hotels as well, have package deals, promotions, special discounts for elders, military, students, or corporations, and weekend discounts. For those travelling with their family, there are interesting deals on rooms with two beds or more available. If you’re travelling alone, there are some hotels, especially the more affordable ones, that charge lower rates for single San Francisco Hotel Reservations.
Step 4 – You can also further your research online. Look for more information about the chosen hotel on Google or Yahoo!. Check the official websites and read costumer reviews. Remember, though, that neither is always reliable: some official websites can try to suck you in with pretty pictures and make you regret your choice later on, and some costumers give bad reviews simply because they can’t be pleased. Don’t forget to check travel boards and forums, you’ll likely find answers to some of your questions. If not, you can always ask away. Also check travel sites like Expedia and Orbitz to get names, addresses, and prices.
