Okay, I just looked up the Vloggercon venue on Google Maps, searched
for hotels in the area and then read the reviews. Here are the three
closest hotels I found:
- Twin Peaks Hotel: 2160 Market St, (415) 863-2909
Price range: $45-75/night
Pros: REALLY CLOSE, great review, inexpensive,
Good point. I haven't thought that far a head. Perhaps hotel
recomendations will be forthcoming. A Vloggercon hotel discount
would be great.

Thanks Enric, but Devlon, Rudy/CodeRonin and I both want to stay at
hotels in the area so we don't have to rent cars. This is why we're

Not to be rude, but there isn't much to discuss... We are
out-of-towners simply looking for someone to make hotel suggestions.
It would be nice to know which places are close, clean and cheap (my
personal order of importance).

Here. Here. Actually, it's hard for me to imagine a better part of
the bay area for the event (there was talk of the Filmore West, which
would have been cool, but it was quite a bit more expensive).
I've been to (and worked at) quite a few non-vlogger conventions and I
know that usually convention coordinators make deals with a few local
hotels in order to get a group rate for people attending their
