I would love to reserve 3 nights in a 4 or 5 star hotel in San Francisco for my friends from Nov 7 to Nov 10. Any killer deals around that will go down easy on my student budget.

Since you seem to be open to any 4-5* hotel in SF, and you are booking last minute, you could consider a Priceline "name your own price" bid. Other might chime in on a recommended bid price, but perhaps $80-$90/night for a 4star using the bidding option.

This is going to get moved to the San Francisco forum, but there are quite a few deals going on right now; recommend you start with Travelzoo offers & go from there. Since it's a weekend, rates should be favorable; Monday night might be higher.

There are sometimes even deals to be had through the hotels' normal booking channels (e.g., hilton.com for Hilton, etc.). I managed to nab one night (a Friday coming up) at the Hilton SF Financial District for only $96.75 + tax (total $111.81). This is NOT a prepaid, nonrefundable stay like Priceline/Hotwire -- rather it is the special Visa rate for 25% off the "Best Available Unrestricted Rate." Cancel policy is 3 days prior to stay. Earns all HHonors benefits, i.e., points, stay credit, plus Gold (or other elite level) benefits (breakfast, room upgrade), etc.
I realize this is not really a 4.5 star property, but if you're willing to lower your lofty standards a notch, it's worth looking into.
This rate requires that you have, and pay with, either a Visa Signature or Visa Infinite card (does NOT have to be a Hilton HHonors Visa specifically).
Start at this page (first step is to enter part of your Visa card number to authenticate it) and be sure to read the Terms & Conditions of this promo:
