Thanks very much for the parking info. I will be staying at the Hilton soon and must bring the car. In the past I have parked in the city parking garage near the Metreon. Don't know the exact rate but it was around $36 per 24 hours. Am considering using the hotel parking simply for convenience and security.

Ronda, if you are talking about the Hilton on Mason and O'Farrell then the parking garage right across the street is very convenient and about half the price as the hotel's parking.

Thank you Suzie!

Thanks for the replies everyone - very helpful. Our trip turns into business on Sunday which is why we are staying at the Hilton - really no option to stay elsewhere. If we can't manage to see Muir Woods on our way back in to the city on Sunday then I like the idea of just renting for the day. Excellent advice all, appreciate the help.
