Buena Vista Park B and B/or Rick's B and B: Home Away From Home

    We couldn't ask for anything more in this lovely accommodation. We found Rick, the owner, to be attentive but unobtrusive and quickly available by phone or in person. I highly recommend this place. It was nice to come "home" after a day out, make mac and cheese for a change from all the restaurant food, relax in your jammies, and watch tv or listen to music on the stereo.

    Huge tastefully decorated one bedroom with two baths; one with an old fashioned soaker tub, and one with a shower. Full kitchen and living room; a nice deck with plants and chairs, also a beautiful garden in the back. It has it's own private entrance with a locked gate, only accessible by code. Located in a beautiful renovated victorian in Upper Haight. Very conveniently located near Golden Gate Park and public transit. Also across the street from Buena Vista Park; there's a playground and tennis courts there.

    Comfort Inn by the Bay: Affordable hotel at top location   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • We stayed here for 3 days in April 2004 and were very satisfied. The Hotel is at a central location about 10 minutes walk to Fishermans Wharf. A bus station is in front of the hotel so you can reach any place in town easily by public transport.

    They serve a complimentary extended breakfast buffet which I did not expect to get in an american hotel.

    Hotel Triton - A Kimpton Hotel: Funky Boutique Hotel at Gates of Chinatown   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I've never been disappointed with Hotel Triton. It's funky- the rooms are very comfortable. They offer a complimentary wine/beer reception daily, and even have a tarot reader handy if you are so inclined! The hotel is conveniently located within a stone's throw of Chinatown, and very close to Union Square. I've always had very friendly service here. It's a bit pricey for those on a budget- but some internet research can usually result in a discounted rate.

    Interesting decor, free wine/beer reception, tarot readers. Last I heard they'd loan you a goldfish if you had to leave your pet at home! The suites are designed by celebrities such as Carlos Santana.

    I like small hotels and I used to recommend Hotel Juliana until another VTer informed me that it is now closed. It's high time I updated my tip. Unfortunately, even though I work here, I'm not a wealth of information on hotels in San Francisco because I rarely stay here overnight. The Hotel Juliana website now directs viewers to the Kimpton Hotels, a collection of small boutique hotels. I checked out the website and the hotels look very nice and reasonable. In fact, the hotels are so enticing that I kind of wish I could be tourist here! Check it out!

    Westin St. Francis: A GREAT HOTEL   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • When I first visited SF in the 80's, my two friends and I stayed at the Westin St. Francis Hotel. It is a wonderful experience in luxurious, traditional San Francisco style. Whether you stay here or not, during your visit, walk in and look around the beautiful lobby and if you have the time and inclination, have some food or a drink in the very relaxing Compass Rose bar and restaurant. It's really a treat - expensive - but worth it if you love quality.

    Palace Hotel: Incredibly Beautiful Dining Room   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Everything was perfect at the The Palace. Whether you stay here or not, be sure to stop in to see the gorgeously restored and exquisitely designed dining room.

    The Garden Court dining room is grand in every way. Graceful columns soar above marble floors towards a dome of stained glass, and the menu is as elaborate as the gold leaf sconces and mirrored doors. The photo doesn't show the size of the room or the vast dome of hundreds of squares of stained glass. It's truly magnificent & represents the traditional San Francisco.

    Hotel Astoria San Francisco: Hotel Astoria San Francisco: Old Timer   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • It?s not so much the price but the location in San Francisco. Downtown is: Chinatown, Union Square, Financial District however the hotels are having pricing wars so you can get great deals in this area. The places in town that are hip local and the ?City? are: The Haight, Noe Valley, Maria (however I?m not that hot it, it?s a bit yuppie), The Castro if you gay. Nob Hill for the stunning prettiness of it. Fisherman?s Warf is NOT San Francisco. We never ever go down there. It?s weird, and it?s 100% tourists and not fun. I mean you HAVE to go to Alcatraz (book at least one month in advance) but that?s it. Here are my recommended hotels on a tight budget: (This is my new travel web site by the way) Downtown: Hotel Astoria, cute old-time hotel looks arruond $50 a night, but check the price and hotel: http://www.res99.com/hotel/10007580-10191560B.html?ses=a59f0ca2ff5a3f4a95acfeb1bc88682889063 Nob Hill: Grosvonor Hotel, About $96 a night. http://www.res99.com/hotel/10007580-10216215O.html?ses=a59f0ca2ff5a3f4a95acfeb1bc88682889063

    LOCATION Hotel Astoria is located uniquely at the entrance to a great historical landmark of San Francisco--China Town, is just two blocks away from renowned Union Square and Financial District. Within walking distance, are the most popular tourist attactions of San Francisco: Cable Car's Turning point, Fishman's Wharf, Coit Tower and City Hall...... CONVENIENT Situated in the heart of San Francisco, the Hotel Astoria is surrounded with numerous fantastic shopping centers, theaters and the city's finest renowned restaurants, featuring cusines from all over the world.

    York Hotel: Great location, price and service   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting San Francisco and not only because it was featured in Alfred Hitchcock's classic suspense film "Vertigo" and not because it has a Cabaret bar downstairs that was a famous speakeasy during Prohibition.

    The beds were comfortable and the room was simple and clean. There was a nice walk-in closet, a coffemaker and contrary to what my Rough Guide said, the staff was extremely friendly. In fact, I told the guys at the front desk that I was expecting them to be jerks because the Rough Guide described the staff as a bit snooty. They just laughed and explained the the ownership had changed in the last six months and that the staff was all new.

    Monarch Hotel: Seedy area, but decent place   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Well, I probably wouldn't stay here again, but it wasn't all that bad. It's just that the neighborhood is a bit gritty, with the occasional transvestite streetwalker on nearby corners and an adult book store directly across the street. During the day, however, it's perfectly safe and there is a bus line a block up on Van Ness.

    The room was nice despite the view out the front window onto busy Geary Street and the adult book store. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was good with some serious water pressure in the shower. It's a seven block walk straight up Geary to Union Square.
