Places to Stay in San Francisco

Your choices of places to stay in San Francisco are as vast as the places to visit while you are there. You will find that staying outside the city can be cheaper but with it comes a host of problems such as fighting traffic to get back in and finding a parking spot when you get there. So choose carefully from the array of hotels that are available.

Your choice of hotel will depend on what you want to see while you are there such as Union Square which is centrally located in the city and a very popular tourist attraction. Some of the hotels that are closest to this are Hotel Adagio, the Crown Plaza Union Square, the Four Seasons San Francisco, the Hilton San Francisco, the J W Marriott Hotel, the Hotel Monaco, the Orchard Garden Hotel, the Orchard Hotel, the Prescott Hotel, the Hotel Rex and the Serrano Hotel. These are upscale hotels where it may cost you a little more but the convenience of sightseeing will be well worth it.

Fisherman's Wharf is another popular attraction for visitors and offers an array of hotels that surround it such as the Columbus Motor Inn which is one of the best deals in town, the San Remo Hotel, the Wharf Inn, Best Western Inn, Holiday Inn Express Fisherman's Wharf, Marriott Courtyard Fisherman's Wharf, Hilton at Fisherman's Wharf, Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf and Argonaut Hotel. All of these have their own unique style so it will depend on what you're looking for. Most hotels that are located in the Fisherman's Wharf area do not have very good views of the city.

Lombard and Van Ness offers hotels at a cheaper rate but there is a price to be paid, although you can enjoy free parking and cheaper rates it is not close to the popular tourist spots and the only form of transportation is the city bus transit. Here you can find places such as, the Buena Vista Motor Inn, which can be noisy but try one of the back rooms, Castle Inn which is noted for its clean rooms and friendly staff, the Chelsea Motor Inn which is Tudor style and many more. The attraction here is that you are not far from the "Crookest" street. Again, if you're going to other parts of the city it is best to take the city transit instead of fighting traffic and looking for parking spaces which can be expensive.
