The brick wall issue did not bother us at all. The location, having a suite to make brekkie and lunch, the lovely friendly staff, more than made up for brick wall... but it does make the room a bit like an "overcast" day. We had both views and can honestly say we will go back there next year to stay and if its the wall its fine. If you are wanting a strip view dont choose here as its 50/50. I would do 4 in San Fran. We loved it. Do you intend to do Alcatraz?. We did 3 nights and barely did anything by the time we arrived our first day and unpacked there was hardly time to do anything. Our hotel for the 2 roomed suite was only $200 a night and a 10 min walk to the wharf,. and had free parking.

Alcatraz will be a must for us but need to research what else to do, although I think it will include a bike ride across the bridge if possible. As it is at the end of our holiday I am hoping we will be fully acclimatised to the time difference.
Which hotel did you use as we expected SF to be expensive and it is not disappointing! We may not need parking as I was going to take the hire car back when we got to SF but if parking was free this could be an option so that I can drop the hire car at the airport rather than take an Uber. |

Columbus Motor Inn. Basic, clean, very helpful friendly staff. 10 mins literally along flat streets to the wharf. Bus stopped right outside and we went everywhere for $2.50? We has 2 bed "suite" which sounds grand but was room with 2 queen beds table chairs telly fridge etc. then separate bedroom with a king bed for us with TV chairs and little balcony. Allowed one parking space per room. Quite a few on here had stayed so I cancelled my original reservation and re booked there. Only a basic hotel but near loads of restaurants brekkie places etc. I would and will go back. We paid $178 for Thursday and $198 for Fri/Sat between the 2 couples. Was way easier not to drive and we used Uber and Wingz, from airport etc. We didnt need a car at all as bus took us every where and streets were a bit scary for me! Depends on what you want. Loved Alcatraz.

We're off at Easter to Las Vegas, back from San Francisco. Visiting various places from Vegas, then back there for one night, onto San Francisco via a couple of stops. We booked car hire through Discount Florida Car Hire, very competitively priced. We weren't going to have a car in Las Vegas on our first few nights there, but it was less than £20 for the extra nights, saves having to get shuttle there and back.

Far easier with a car , I'm in Vegas now 9th time here and wouldn't ever not have a car . In the grand scheme of things the parking charges are no worse than you pay at
Home in a city Center . Yesterday at 5pm it was still 100 degrees far nicer to have your own car to come and go as you please . |
