San Francisco Places to Stay










I have found some more unique and reasonable hotels that could be of interest to some of you. Their links are listed in the San Francisco list to the right.

The Red Victorian is a very interesting bed and breakfast located in the Haight Ashbury district. The hotel is dedicated to peaceful world travelers. The Golden Gate Park is virtually in the backyard and the area is well know for its history from the 60's Summer of Love. Each room is uniquely decorated and honors nature.



The Mosser Victorian, located in the Union Square shopping district, was opened in 1913 as the Keystone Hotel. In 1981, Charles W. Mosser purchased the hotel and after a multi-million dollar renovation, renamed it The Mosser. A deluxe room with two twin beds runs around $199.



The Marina Hotel is located on the famous Lombard Street. The hotel has "family" rooms that include a kitchen for convenience. Each room is decorated to reflect the historic 1930's hotel. There are flower boxes at the windows to reflect the European Cottage charm. A quaint courtyard covered in fuchsias and bougainvillea and paved in cobblestone embraces guests each morning. They also provide a dog friendly suite for those traveling with pets.

The Marina Inn is within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf, Union Street and Ghiradelli Square. Located in the historic Marina district which features stately, colorful homes and pretty courtyard gardens. Complimentary continental breakfast is included in the reasonable room rates.

Another option is a bed and breakfast. Bed & Breakfast San Francisco, http://www.bbsf.com/, is a bed and breakfast reservations service for San Francisco and Northern California. They offer rooms in a variety of settings, from beautiful Victorians to charming cottages and usually at better prices than a hotel or motel.

San Francisco being the tourism and business center that it is, there is a large variety of places to stay. I have only listed ideas I found interesting and reasonable. If price is not an option and you want to be treated like royalty, try The Fairmont San Francisco, Campton Place San Francisco, Clift Hotel or The Parc 55 Hotel, just to name a few.

Sweet dreams.
