Where to stay near Denny’s school in San Francisco?

Does anyone have any personal recommendations on where to stay (something that a Google search won’t tell me). Is anyone else going to be there that wants to split a hotel room or something? I will be there the week before Gracie worlds, taking the bus in Saturday from the traincation attempt in Las Vegas.

Airbnb.com is your best bed to find non-disgusting accommodations in SF. Don't even think about residential hotels unless you want bed bugs. Regular hotels are good but expensive. Good luck!

There's a travel lodge pretty close walking distance from the gym which may be a decent option. Not sure for other recommendations though. Are you guys starting the week in SoCal or wrapping up the whole last week in SF? I'm finishing up training that week down south as I have a business trip that week in La than flying back to SF either Thursday night or Friday morning to be ready for weigh ins Friday night. Look forward to meeting you guys either way!

I’m doing the whole week before the worlds with Denny, and after worlds, hopping to pay someone gas to catch a ride back with them to LA to train with Eddie. My flight back to Texas is booked from LA.

Yep, Denny’s to San Jose and then San Jose to LA. I know tons of 10th Planet guys are making those trips. It’s that or the bus again for me, and since I am taking a 15 hour bus trip from Vegas to Denny’s school the week before, I’m not exited to do another two of them unless I have to…

So what josh and I have come up with is we think we will be staying near the airport and taking the BART around town to get to Denny's. Then we were just gonna go from the hotel and hop on the train that runs to San Jose rather than renting a car. I think round trip transportation cost comes out to like 24 dollars

If you guys want to plan a couch-surfing thing, I live in Oakland at Lake Merritt, which is not that far away, and I have 2 couches. You can drive to Denny's, or take a bus or BART pretty easily. Just a thought, PM me if you need it.

Just re-did the math I was a little off 37.60 round trip including transportation to and from Denny's via BART so not too bad.
The breakdown is as follows
$8.05 from SFO Intl. to 10th Planet (BART Yellow)
$8.05 from 10th Planet to SFO Intl area (BART Yellow)
$4.00 from SFO to Millbrae (BART Yellow)
$6.75 Millbrae to San Jose (Caltrain)
$6.75 San Jose to Millbrae (Caltrain)
$4.00 Millbrae to SFO Intl. (BART Yellow)

Total Cost of Barebones Transport
$37.60

Pretty value if you ask me
