Nice hotel in SFO < $100

I'm spending a Saturday night in SFO in December. I arrive around 10pm and leave at 9am the next morning.

Can anyone recommend a hotel near the airport. Or maybe near a BART station?

FYI bart doesnt start running until 9 on Sunday.

Priceline's the way to go IMO. Book something next to your airport and BART in.

I don't see why not.

I've used my US-based credit card on expedia.uk or PL.UK.

An alternative is to use the priceline.co.uk (Priceline Europe) portal.

BART begins service at 8am on Sunday from the outermost stations. Totally agree about Priceline and staying out where it would be less expensive. A $100 rack rate hotel in SF in pretty much non existent.
