[quote=bearishgurl][quote=spdrun]For either price, I’d take the fucking BART.[/quote]So would I (and exit Daly City to board the SamTrans bus line which goes to the SFO – not sure about CalTrain but I don’t think so). Also, (mostly business-type) hotels in SSF, Colma (Serramonte area), Millbrae, Burlingame and the Brisbane Business Park (just south of Candlestick Park, facing the bay) have their own shuttles to/from SFO. So do many hotels in SF but I have found the ones which have airport shuttles to be too expensive.
I almost always drive to SF. When I don’t stay with my kid(s), I have stayed in the Beresford and Beresford Arms (BA has very large rooms). They used to comp guests in the commercial parking lots they used for valet parking (normally $20+ daily). The guest just needs tips for the valet. They also have a nice wine and cheese buffet laid out for guests between 3:00 and 5:00 pm daily :=]
I’ve also stayed at the Holiday Inn at the Wharf. It has (cramped) free parking for guests but its rooms are very small.
The other hotels I’ve stayed in up there were in the SFO cities, mentioned above. They are out of the city so have more room (and free parking for guests) but a guest in those hotels really needs a car at their disposal (whether their own or rented).
Another thing … Many hotels in SF and near SFO are quite old and some are a bit remote (ex: the Brisbane). As such, they didn’t have wifi in the rooms when I stayed there. You can attach your computer to their network via CAT 5 cable (provided on the desk in the room). I carry a longer CAT 5 wire with me if I plan to stay in a hotel like this so I can use my computer in different parts of the room. Their lobbies DO have wifi and a computer room with printers and sending/receiving faxes is free at the Beresfords’ front desks.[/quote]
