    I haven't been in the downtown area of a major US city in years where
    I would feel comfortable in a $55 a night hotel. Revere is a great
    place to go for a workshop. Being in downtown San Francisco though
    has its plusses and minuses. Housing within walking distance is
    either expensive or very scary. But the Academy is literally next to
    the BART train station. You can easily find decent affordable lodging
    at a distance from the school and ride BART to and from. So do a
    little research on the BART or the other public transit systems and
    pick more affordable housing in a area that is not downtown in a
    major city.
