Cartwright Hotel <BR>I think it is on Sutter/Powell <BR>Nice and clean and in the heart of everything. I think they have a web site.

As Bill Clinton would say ,"Define affordable." If you can give us a better idea of your price range I think we could point you in the right direction. Might also try 1800hotel96.com while you are thinking about that.Also are you interested in doing something while you are here or do you just need a plave to lay your head for the night?

ooooops! that should be 180096hotel.com Sorry about that.

<BR>Thanks both! Stosh, (that is my husband's name, also!) Do you have any suggestions on "must see" places...I know the obvious places. We have one full day in the city. I appreciate any tips. Thanks!

assume you've worked your hotel arrangement out as you didn't reply ro request for your price range requirements. For to do check out www.hooked.net/users/jhum. This is the site for City Guides ,volunteer/docent guides through different parts of the city ,they just request a donation. Schedule and description of tours are listed on site. These are usually quite good and worth checking out.Enjoy our city.

I live within a couple hours of SF, so I usually do day trips. The last time I stayed there it was at the Ramada Limited in the South of Market area. It caters to the business traveler, with clean but unmemorable rooms. I only paid $79 per night, though, at the corporate rate. Its at 240 7th street. Parking was available, but it's "limited". Other places to consider include the San Remo, Commodore, and maybe the Chancellor at Union Square. Try 1-888-782-9673, ext 628. That's the number for the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau. <BR> <BR>Things to do include walking in Chinatown, North Beach, Market Street and in some of the neighborhoods like Noe Valley, Russian Hill and Pacific Heights. Of course, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghiradelli Square and Pier 39 are the usual tourist traps. Alcatraz, a ferry trip to Sausalito, a muni bus trip to Muir Woods, or a trip to Golden Gate park.
