answer:Welcome to Fluther. Look for 3 star places in North Beach, or downtown. San Francisco is pretty easy to get around on foot and on the Muni (bus and streetcars). Stay away from Lombard Street. There is a Courtyard San Francisco just south of Market. The Hotel California on Geary. And places by Fisherman’s Wharf, although those can be overpriced. Since I live here, I can’t be more helpful on Hotels.
