Needing temporary housing for a week in SF - thinking about renting at a Single Room Hotel for a week while looking for a place to live as i will only be sleeping there for a few hours a night.

Any recommendations?

Be careful. Most of those hotels are run down "welfare" hotels. They're dirty, noisy at all hours and not very safe. I wouldn't keep any valuables in your room while you're away. You may also end up sharing your room with a few million roaches.

Try finding a room in a private home if you can.

Definitely look at renting a room off Craigslist.
SRO hotels are the last refuge of the sick and poor, not safe and not clean. I've never stayed in one out here, but I have in a couple back east and it was eye-opening to say the least. Gave me a much greater appreciation for how fortunate I am to not have mental illness or addiction issues.

I ended up staying at the Sweden House Hotel for a week - clean, nice shower, reasonable priced.

Ask for Ryan - Manager of the place; he'll steer you straight.
