When a conference was over in '93 I had my daughter come to SF and we
stayed a few extra days. The concierge at the conference hotel
recommended a place that was across the street from the old US Mint museum.

The cost differential was astonishing. The second place seemed to cater
to European tourist groups. It was a moderately old building (quaint)
but it worked out just great for us. Good but inexpensive on-site
restaurant, within a few blocks of the big conference hotels.

Perhaps someone in the area knows the name, if it is still open, other
basic recon.

One heads up though. A few of the other places that seemed to offer low
cost accomodations appeared to cater to men only.
