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 know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.)

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

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).

Thanks, JZ. The Carl looks cool, but so far I don't see prices. Anyway, I'll talk to Monica tonight so we can pick a place.
eta: Ooh, Toddson has the price.

I just agreed to foster a chihuahua puppy for the weekend. This should be fun.

I can see doing that for a weekend. Or maybe a day.
