XP: Hotel in San Francisco

Denise40 · December 2014

We will be doing a cruise out of San Francisco for our honeymoon and want to stay over for 2 nights after cruise and sight see. What are some good hotels?

Location is important. You may find that two nights in a good San Francisco hotel will cost more than your cruise! $200 a night is considered a bargain.

Try the Chancellor Hotel on Union Square. http://www.chancellorhotel.com/

@CMGragain‌ thanks for the info. I'll check it out. I figured they would be high but that's ok.

My last trip to SF we stayed at the InterContinental San Francisco. The location was great, we had a view of the bay, and the room was attractive and very clean and larger than expected for SF. It's not a "romantic" hotel, more modern/business, but it was very nice and we liked it a lot.

I have also had great luck with Kimpton properties there - there are some very interesting ones worth checking out (tons of character!) and the rates are pretty reasonable too.

Thank you @amelisha‌ I will check that out also.

We stayed a couple nights a couple years ago at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites. It was nice and within walking distance to Pier 39, Ghiradelli Square, Lombard Street and Pier 33 (ferry to Alcatrez). I just checked and we paid almost $275/night (including taxes and fees).

We stayed there, too. DH loved their included full breakfast buffet. Great location, but older building.

Just be sure to check bedbugregistry.com and check yelp (search for bed bugs) before you book. I say this as a longtime SF resident. Trust me.

DH is a nervous traveler, and he always checks behind the behind the mattress for signs of bed bugs before settling into a room, even on a cruise ship! Bed bugs are usually brought in by other guests. A perfectly clean hotel can be infected from someone visiting from another part of the country.

We stayed at the Orchard Hotel, a block or two from Union Square. It was beside a cable/street car stop, so good access to things, but yup, it was pricy

Try priceline, seriously. I live in the bay, and when I was living elsewhere and coming home to visit family, I always got really good deals on priceline. Just choose the area you want, and choose a 4 star. I once got the Hyatt in Embarcadero (right across from the Ferry building for $75.00 a night. I got a fisherman's wharf hotel for $80 once. They were both easily $300-400 a night hotels. just make sure you bid on a higher star hotel, and you'll be fine.

I would also look on Hotwire too. There are website that will help you figure out what property it is too (try BetterBidding).

Thanks everyone!

We stayed in the SW Hotel in Chinatown for a week for under $1500 (can't remember how much a night)! It was nothing over-the-top, but clean and pleasant. It's right on the edge of North Beach and was within walking distance of Union Square, Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard St - all the touristy stuff, if that's what you're looking for! Plus, lots of delicious restaurants around.
