I was looking for hotels to stay in (just me) in SF between the 11th and 20th of September and the prices are HIGH! The lowest decent hotel's for $200 a night. Most of my meetings are in Santa Clara / Bay area, is there a well connected & safe area further away I could find a hotel at? I'm looking at a range of a $60 to $100 a night with public transport not too expensive..
I have friends there but too old to couch-surf..

I hate to tell you this, but when I ran your dates on Hotels.com, the places for $200/night in San Francisco proper double as homeless shelters and bottom-end hot-sheet motels. The cheapest I would book—I live in the area—was $350, and even it isn't very nice. You will have to check many sites looking for one with a special deal, and check the reviews carefully. There were vacancies in your price range in the distant eastern burbs (Concord) although they may me near the BART subway, which would put them about 40 minutes from downtown SF.
I'm sure the situation in the San Jose area is similar, but I don't know the neighborhoods so well.
Air B&B?

Answer 2
Motel 6 in Santa Clara is about $100/night. Public transportation would only make sense if your destinations are reachable by public transport. If not you may need a rental car or take an Uber.
