tommyrot, I don't know anything about hostels or hotels in SF, and your visit dates are too far off in the future for me to make plans, but I would love to see you while you are out west!
Cool. I'd love to see you too!
I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay, don't turn on the work laptop!
I think you could totally alternate between veg & ALL and have a pretty good solo day.
I need to kick some productivity ass today. The spring cleaning is going pretty well, but I really need to get some shit knocked out today.

Good luck, Gud!
Tommyrot, the location of that place looks fine: very convenient to transit and plenty of touristy things to do. I don't know anything about it as a hostel, per se.
Me, I had drinks with another former coworker, who gave me some good data on one of the firms I'm talking to (unexpected layoffs followed by hiring is not a good sign of an ability to manage capacity), and was just nice to catch up. Noontime chat today with a friend at the just-referenced firm. Lunch tomorrow with another friend who works for the city. Oy, I'm exhausted.

Tommy, last year I stayed at the Carl. It has virtually no amenities, but it's clean, it's cheap, it's just off the Muni N Judah line, which I took a lot.
Just make sure you don't try to get around town on the day of the Bay to Breakers "race".

You're doing great, Suela. Keep at it.

Good luck, Gud!
$94/night in SF sounds cheap to me, even with a shared bathroom, but I don't really know how SF hotel pricing goes. (In Manhattan, there's basically Expensive and Shitty, without much in-between.)

What's the Carl? The hostel I linked to?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The Carl Hotel, on Carl Street about two blocks from Haight Street, Cole Valley and GG Park, not to mention right on the N line so pretty convenient to downtown. Dirt cheap but clean.
I don't know that hostel at all, but it looks excellent. You might also want to give Hotwire or something similar a try; I'm pretty sure I have booked nicer-than-hostel rooms for about the same price you're being quoted now that way.

I got a very small room with a very small, but private, bathroom, for $89 a night. I was kind of restricted because I don't do well on stairs - there's one small section that has minimal stairs, the others are all up a steep full flight of steps. But still - $89 struck me as a major bargain (I checked the place we'd had the F2F .. and it was something like $300 a night).
