We also have Oakland and San Jose airports in the Bay Area that some International flights fly into. There is actually a motel in downtown Fairfax, right behind the 19 Broadway Bar-not cheap, though- I think about $140.00 per night. On the other hand, San Rafael is 5 miles away and has multiple motels, a number of them cheaper. I think the finest, cheapest way to go would be to team up with some of the other folks coming and rent a house in the area for a week. You could make meals there and hang out with like-minded people.
