ST Help request: I'm going to Hawaii for the honeymoon. Now looks like a 2 day layover in San Fran. Where should we stay? Details inside.

Posted by Volnelk Apr 16 '13, 17:51

Keep in mind that even though this is our honeymoon, we are on our way to Hawaii for a week. This is just a way to get used to the time while still doing something cool.

We don't want to spend a ton. Just see some sights, walk around, be in love, have a good meal, etc.

We'll be there July 8th and 9th and leave the morning of the 10th.

Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Not spending a lot? (Viking.) Look into the Lombard Street strip - con_carne Apr 16, 18:16
Beresford is an old euro style hotel that is a couple blocks up and out of the 'loin, the one on Sutter is perfect....or - zeitgeist Apr 16, 18:13 1
- becareful of places that advertise they are a block or two from Union Square cause one side is $$$ and the other side is where crack and crime meet - zeitgeist Apr 16, 18:21
We stayed at Hotel Union Square at the far end of one of the trolley lines - Will Hunting Apr 16, 17:58 17
- Would we need to rent a car? -- nm - Volnelk Apr 16, 18:07 14
  - No. Like Manhattan, having an automobile is a burden. -- nm - con_carne Apr 16, 18:18
  - parking it could cost you as much as the hotel room -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 16, 18:15
  - for just a couple of days, not unless you plan to leave the city (I always recommend going to Muir Woods - hi Reagen - but that takes a fewish hours). - b. Apr 16, 18:12 6
    - I just looked at the actual nights, and eep!! I just remembered that's coinciding with pre-America's Cup events. - b. Apr 16, 18:21 5
      - maybe not quite coinciding, per a prelim. calendar; but I'm sure people will pad their stays. also, your dates run into a couple of big trade - b. Apr 16, 18:25 4
        
        I just tried seeing what my corporate travel account can offer... - b. Apr 16, 18:39 1
        
        for comparison for you, here's the Hyatt in the Financial District in SF - b. Apr 16, 18:47
        
        Should we consider San Diego? The flights are similar. We just figured SF would contrast Hawaii better. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 16, 18:36 1
        
        SD can be very very nice; and, odds are, you can find something less expensive there for those dates. - b. Apr 16, 18:42
  - Taxi in, take the trolley down to the wharf, walk the piers, maybe alcatraz....it's not $$$ -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 16, 18:10
  - not really. Union square is a walking area, and the trollys take you straight to the wharf, which is also a big walking/shopping area -- nm - peglegpete Apr 16, 18:09 2
    - One note: the trolleys are surprisingly expensive as a single fair trip. -- nm - Reagen Apr 16, 18:11 1
      - Unfair! ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 18:12
  - BART from the airport worked fine for me. Only took a taxi once, iirc. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 18:09
- I've stayed in that area a couple of times - it's a good mix of affordable (for SF) and access to transit/stuff to see. -- nm - Reagen Apr 16, 18:03
- Good location, though. I liked the hotel, even if the walls were a bit thin. - kelly Apr 16, 18:02
My San Fran experience was rather limited. Uh. Avoid the tenderloin, though. - Beryllium Apr 16, 17:58
july in san fran.....bring a jacket, not kidding -- nm - Bacon on Google Nexus 10 Apr 16, 17:56 1
- I went in February. It was ... familiar. Like spring here. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 18:07
Lemme talk to my SF peeps and I'll let you know. -- nm - Hitler Apr 16, 17:52
