Great picture Scott.

 

Here's another perspective on Google Maps...  The Parc 55 is 46 feet elevation.  Marc Hopkins is 282 feet in a half mile away.  I refuse to do an additional luggage drag climbing 286 feet in that half mile from the Powell Street BART station.

 

https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/37.785345,-122.4086887/InterContinental+Mark+Hopkins+San+Francisco,+999+California+St,+San+Francisco,+CA+94108,+United+States/@37.7879742,-122.4110453,16.44z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-122.4086987!2d37.7853977!3s0x8085808f6733cb05:0xffe493eb70255aa2!1m5!1m1!1s0x8085808dabd98b19:0xcff515fee06c6dd1!2m2!1d-122.4101366!2d37.7915187!3e1!5m1!1e1

 

Doing a guess date of May 22 on booking.com for a nightly rate.

• $183 Parc 55
• $183 Hilton San Francisco Union Square
• $206 Marc Hopkins

As a value traveller, I would likely settle with the Parc 55.  Easy BART access from the airport, no need for a taxi or bus to go up a hill.

We are staying the the Petite Auberge.   I know nothing about it but it looked cozy.

Sorry to take so long to answer but I haven't read the review in awhile. We're going through the Panama Canal on the Norwegian Gem and ending up in NYC. It might be cool in SF but our ship will be breaking ice when it docks in NYC.

We did this cruise last year.   I was all set to freeze on our return back to NY.   so were the other passengers.   I was also leery about the trip up to East Coast waters. The crew was putting out bags and I was a nervous wreck. Thankfully, the waters were calm and we had an unseasonably warm return. Hopefully this time will be comparable!!

We are arriving in SFO on the 22nd.   It will be chilly there.  

We are staying in the Petite Auberge on Bush Street.  I used my credit card points, which translated to about $525 for two nights.   We haven't been to SFO in many many years so we will be doing alot of the touristy things again.

Ok.   Thank you!!

I downloaded the app to my iPhone. When I opened it up it asks for my email username. After I put in my email and my password it says it is an error  and cannot login.
