We've decided we're going to San Francisco this September 19 - 24 ---- haven't decided where we're going to stay yet, very excited..... I was there about 23 years ago. Anyone have any hotel recommendations? We're not going to rent a car, going to walk and use public transportation. I don't carry a purse so I've got to shop for a bag(not a purse), but maybe a Timbuk2 Metro, something like that. Any suggestions?

When we went there a few years ago, we stayed at:

It's right in the heart of San Francisco. By everything you'd want to be by. Walking distance to everything. We had rented a car, but it ended up being parked the entire time we were in the city.Last edited by limewave; 05-13-2009 at 04:30 PM. Reason: website

We like small, eclectic, original, European style hotels so the Cartwright has always been our favorite and it is right in the heart of everything. You absolutely do not need to rent a car, unless you want to head over to Marin or up to Sonoma or Napa. If you are going to be there on a Saturday morning, SF has the most fantastic Farmers' Market at the Ferry Plaza on Embarcadero.

I have no recommendations, but could you squeeze me into one of your suitcases, pretty please? I've been dying to go back and see more of that city.

Make sure to pack lots of layers! It gets cold at night or when it's foggy here.
