I believe they call them homeless camps here in San fransisco. Seriously a hotel is like 50-80 bucks a night, just stay there and get free breakfast plus your own room

There are actually quite a few hostels here on the West coast. I've stayed in one in Seattle, I know they have them in the bay area, and I've seen them in San Diego too.

Some are like a dorm where mostly students live, some are bedbug infested hovels populated by junkies and sex offenders, and some are hipster spots with overpriced bars and lots of guys wearing tight pants and beards. There is a wide variety of hostels in SF at least.
This was my favorite in SF (3 years ago or so):
http://orangevillagehostel.com/
It was quiet and clean when I went there, no-nonsense with friendly workers who didn't rip me off. There are probably better places if you want to party, but if you want a quiet place to sleep and relax in peace this place has alot of foreign ESL students so they keep it pretty quiet and orderly, and it's not staffed by pretentious hipsters, which is important to me at least.
When I went it had 1 bunk in a shared room for like $20-$30/night walking in off the street, which was a good price, but it's looking like they're more heavily booked now. If this is a peak season you probably want to book early because it sucks to be lugging all your bags around town trying to find a place when you're already tired from travelling.

Not in the city. Maybe a hotel in the middle of nowhere off season costs that.

No it's a hostel, which typically has a mixture of shared and single rooms, where you can rent out a single bed instead of a whole room, shared bathroom, shared kitchen, etc. They can be arranged a million different ways but they are typically cheaper and oriented towards travelers and people on a budget who will sacrifice some amenities.

There's tons of hotels for like 80 bucks in Frisco. Granted they're not going to be that great or in a rich part of the city but they're definitely there. Beats sleeping with a bunch of random people

Hostels can actually be a pretty cool way to meet other people while you are traveling.

It's like a dormitory- bunk beds with shared bathroom and common areas.

TBH I find the nice rooms at hostels are much better than cut-rate hotels. Most usually offer single rooms too, which would compare to a cheap hotel price. Cheap hotels tend to be more shady and infested with bugs IME. Better to take the best of the hostel world than the worst hotel 
It's all a crapshoot on who your roomates are. When I went I was lucky 'cause it was so quiet that I would pay like $25/night half the time and get my own room with 4 beds and bathroom since nobody else booked the room. Doubt that happens in the summer tho

sometimes you get a nice room with cool roommates, other times you get sold in the black market for sadisitic torture it's usually a 50/50 chance but it's worth it
