I have friends who stay there every time they're in town. Smallish, has garage parking and is in a nice area in terms of walkable amenities including decent restaurants.

Lombard St has lots of cheaper places but I agree with CreekDog: choose carefully because some are dumps and the price charged for rooms has little to do with it.

thanks for the tips. The train is probably a good idea- except is it really a bouncy/bumpy ride? Beaverhausen May 2012 #23

It's light rail which is generally pretty smooth unlike heavy rail systems. Gormy Cuss May 2012 #25
