LOCATION
Getting Around
Hotel parking fees are steep (just under $60 a night), so leave the wheels at home and take advantage of San Francisco's outstanding public transportation network. The BART and Muni trains depart within a couple blocks. The cable car stop is a block away. Muni buses pass right out front. Walkers can explore downtown on foot, accessing Union Square, Tenderloin, SoMa, Embarcadero, Financial District, Chinatown and beyond.
