Ah, heck, I'll reveal them.

The Travelodge on the edge of the Tenderloin (I forget what street) is 
pretty good. I think it's called the "Civic Center" Travelodge, but it
is actually in the Tenderloin (which is slowly but surely improving).
It's about $71 a night, and the service is pretty good.

The ones that I know that are cheaper than even $30 a night are 
hostels. You have to share a bath and it might be a little packed,
but that offer reasonable rooms for a cheap price. There are
even places in North Beach going for $22 or so. 

See http://www.hostels.com/us.ca.sf.html. And, yes, I want people
to find out about these places.
