SAN FRANCISCO —
I had a three-day project in San Francisco’s North Seaside — a neighborhood with no huge chain lodges or eating places. The place to eat and sleep? I checked out 5 lodgings and ate at eight or 9 eating places.
Listed here are the ten locations I preferred finest:
WHERE TO STAY
Resort Boheme, 444 Columbus Ave., San Francisco; (415) 433-9111, hotelboheme.com. Fifteen rooms, all on the second flooring, bathed in deep greens and oranges with black-and-white photographs from the ’50s and ’60s. Most rooms for 2 begin at $265. I spent one night time in a room dealing with Columbus Avenue, heard visitors and pedestrians, and requested to be moved throughout the corridor for the subsequent two nights. A lot quieter. There’s no pool and never a lot public house, so it’s higher for couples than households.
San Remo Resort, 2237 Mason St., Francisco; (415) 776-8688, sanremohotel.com. Dates to 1906 with quaint European really feel. Sixty-four of 65 visitor rooms share bogs which might be down the corridor. Most rooms for 2 are $111-$189. I’ve stayed right here greater than as soon as, and I ended by once more on this go to. Downstairs, Fior d’Italia continues to be described as “America’s oldest Italian restaurant.” Upstairs, the resort’s “penthouse suite” (normally $251-$306) is the one unit with a non-public bathtub. It measures a comparatively modest 350 sq. ft, nevertheless it has a patio with a skyline view.
Inexperienced Tortoise Hostel, 494 Broadway, San Francisco; (415) 834-1000,greentortoisesf.com. When you’re a pupil or have a student-like funds, this place is value your consideration. As many as 125 folks can sleep within the constructing’s 40 models, some dorm type, some personal, all sharing bogs down the corridor. In a single day charges $35-$56 per particular person, personal rooms $80-$151. I confirmed up one afternoon, talked to the supervisor and took a tour. There’s all the time some chaos in any hostel, however this lodging, a part of the longstanding Inexperienced Tortoise bus tour firm, has rather a lot to supply, together with organized occasions to unite vacationers.
