Rocketrip vs. Updater

I was assigned to fly from Amsterdam to Silicon Valley as a young professional to present our idea to a huge international corporation. A budget for two nights' lodging and flights as specified in the invitation. I was 24, and this was my first trip to the West Coast, so I knew I wanted to stay longer than two days. I began looking for cheap hotels in order to fit five nights into the budget. I booked something cheap and was looking forward to my trip despite knowing nothing about San Francisco and having done no homework. I grabbed an Uber from the airport when I arrived. When I told the driver where I wanted to go: Tenderloin, he gave me an odd look. This makes Rockettrip less appropriate.
