INFORMATION IN TRAVEL BOOK

The book indicates the Marriott at San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf does not a/c. The hotel says they do have air conditioning, which is true?

I have no idea which "book" you're referring to but this is fairly simple. You have to side with the hotel staff.

Whatever book you read, if you spoke to the hotel, why would you not believe them?

What difference does it make? You won't need air con in SF.

Ditto what Marilyn said. You should be so lucky as to need air con in SF. There are about three days a year I wish I had it. I haven't even used it in my car in forever!!

Assumptions you can safely make:

1) the book is probably wrong
2) The hotel staff is probably right
3) You WILL NOT need a/c even if the book is right . . . . .

If you spoke to the hotel direct, I would believe them unless the travel book has a warning in large print stating: "The only drawback to this otherwise fine establishment is their tendency to lie about the lack of air conditioning in the hotel".

Huh - I think we have helped. Advising that the hotel staff probably knows what they are talking about -- AND that in any case, they will not need a/c.
