Ok for all you California and San Francisco people, my wife got invited to a conference in mid march in san francisco. She nor I have never been California at all! Her conference will take up most days and evenings (to network and socialize), but we may have some evenings available for us. Additionally, I won't be able to attend the conference so I will have some free time (if we decide I go). So I have a few questions:
1. The conference is at the Moscone Center, which, it looks like its near a BART station and an SFMTA station (F-Market historic street car). The convention center does have many hotels around it and some decent rates, but do y'all know of any good hotels near a BART station or that specific SFMTA line (or even near that conference center)? We don't mind taking transit (we probably won't rent a car to save money). We aren't looking for grand stuff, more of the 100+ a night type of thing (which, it Texas is actually considered somewhat pricey, but seems cheap there), or are there just some neat hotels we should consider?
2. Suggested places we visit - focus more of places accessible by transit, although if there is a neat place by car we could always rent one for a day. It will most likely need to be evening activities.
3. Suggested places for myself during the day. Being in the transportation industry I love transit so I know I will be flying around on the different systems (just riding it is fun for me!). It can even include long commuter trips to access places - this doesn't bother me. I have never been here so I don't know what's neat or what to go see.
4. Any other things you can think of. Looking at flights, it is cheapest just to fly into SFO versus oakland or anything else from DFW. LAX is fairly cheap, but that would require a car to finish the trip, making that option more expensive.
