San Francisco Bay Area Book Festival - Oct / Nov

If you are going to San Francisco

Advantages: Location, value for money, free parking
Disadvantages: Noise

gave us a map of San Francisco, circling the main tourist attractions and also highlighting the less salubrious areas of town that we might wish to avoid. The room was a decent size, and the bathroom was HUGE, with a full bath. It was bigger than it needed to be because of the design of the rooms. Everything was clean. The king size bed was very comfortable. The room was well appointed, including a microwave and fridge, as well as the usual coffeemaker. Complimentary coffee and muffins are available in reception in the morning. And of course there was cable televiision. The rooms also have wireless broadband internet. The Francisco Bay also offer family suites and free tour pick up. Public transport is right at the door. One other thing, which is only temporary - they are busy renovating! Just after 5pm there began a great ...

Review of San Francisco (Gray Line City Tour)

Hitchcock's San Francisco Hideaway

Advantages: Excellent value for money, great location
Disadvantages: Old fashioned style

Just got back from a lovely holiday in San Francisco where we stayed at the York Hotel at 940 Sutter Street, just 4 blocks from the central Union Square area and only 2 blocks from the major transport stops at Powell Street. History: Built in the 1920s, the hotel still has many of its original features, including Bakerlite electrical fittings and ceramic solid baths. It also has a history. If you're a Hitchcock film fan you'll love the fact that Vertigo was filmed here and you will spot the square white hotel staircase used in the film as James Stewart suffers an attack of Vertigo. Also perseved are two of the rooms associated with the film (rooms 301 and 501, also referred to as the Vertigo Room and the Kim Novak room respectively) both of which can be rented for an additional cost and contain posters and photos taken from ...
