I know that San Francisco is a tourist-friendly town, and as such we have a great wealth of lodging options for guests and visitors. What are some places we might recommend to folks coming from out of town? I think an appropriate range of answers will have accommodation for several budgets.

Any other suggestions for hotels? Lots of people visiting from elsewhere in the US are concerned mainly about price and safety, rather than uniqueness. What would you suggest for them?

The Red Victorian is a historic hotel located in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, two blocks from Golden Gate Park and well served by public transit.

The hotel was constructed in 1904 as the Jefferson Hotel. In 1967 during the Summer of Love it was called the Jeffrey-Haight. In 1977, Dr. Sami Sunchild, environmental artist and social activist, acquired the building, painted the Victorian facade red plus 9 other trim colors, and named it the "Red Victorian". She created a business founded on love and honoring the best of the ideals that were birthed on that street and in that building, namely the peace movement, the environmental (or "green") movement, the cooperative community movement, and the social justice movement.

Each room has different themes

If it's within your budget, go for Hotel Vitale.

  • Within two very safe blocks of the Embarcadero BART / Muni station.
  • Close to lots of other Muni lines, including the F-Market train to Fisherman's Wharf.
  • Right next to Restaurant Row, so if you enjoy fine dining, you don't have to walk far at all.
  • Their own restaurant, Americano, is very good.

An affordable option in the Union Square neighborhood is The Donatello. They have rooms for $99/night!
