During your San Francisco vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
California Palace of the Legion of Honor
Designed as a memorial to California's World War I casualties, this neoclassical structure is an exact replica of the Legion of Honor Palace in Paris, right down to the inscription HONNEUR ET PATRIE above the portal.The Legion of Honor reopened in late 1995, after a 2-year, $35-million renovation and seismic upgrading. The exterior's grassy expanses, cliff-side paths, and incredible view of the Golden Gate and downtown make this an absolute must-visit attraction before you even get in the door. The inside is equally impressive. The museum's permanent collection covers 4,000 years of art and includes paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts from Europe, as well as international tapestries, prints, and drawings. The chronological display of 4,000 years of ancient and European art includes one of the world's finest collections of Rodin's sculptures. The sunlight Legion Café offers indoor and outdoor seating at moderate prices. Plan to spend 2 or 3 hours here.
California Academy of Sciences
Originally clustered around the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park (in multiple buildings) and intending to return there around 2008 after a complete rebuild, this grouping of outstanding museums is now across from Moscone West, near the Yerba Buena Gardens and Center for the Arts. In its new location the Steinhart Aquarium houses some 5,400 animals, including seahorses, turtles, snakes, and poison dart frogs as well as a two-story 20,000-gallon living coral reef featuring Harlequin Tush fish, Yellow Tangs, sea stars, and a giant clam. Kids love the "touch tide pool" where they can get their mitts on live sea life.An edited version of the Natural History Museum has also been transplanted and hosts changing exhibits such as "Ants: Hidden Worlds Revealed," which shows the insects in action within six different live ant colonies. Some of the museum's permanent displays have moved, too, including Snake Alley, where terrestrial snakes reside; Astrobiology, an exhibit exploring life in extreme environments; and ScienceNOW, which presents a frequently changing display of Academy research, breaking science news, and expeditions around the globe. Toddlers will love the Nature Nest, an education center with hands-on learning activities.Families should look into the Academy's calendar of events, which includes fun kid-friendly festivities such as face-painting, storytelling, animal origami, and exhibit-related stories and demonstrations.
Ghiradelli Square
This National Historic Landmark property dates from 1864, when it served as a factory making Civil War uniforms, but it's best known as the former chocolate and spice factory of Domingo Ghirardelli (pronounced "Gear-a-deli"), who purchased it in 1984. The factory has since been converted into a three-level mall containing 50-plus stores and 11 dining establishments. Scheduled street performers entertain regularly in the West Plaza and fountain area. Incidentally, the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company still makes chocolate, but its factory is in a lower-rent district in the East Bay. Still, if you have a sweet tooth, you won't be disappointed at the mall's fantastic old-fashioned soda fountain.

Great hospitality, very comfortable

Joan, 2007-02-26

Buy a Passport for the MUNI and take public transportation anywhere you want to go in the city--over and over again. We bought 7-day passes for $24 each but 1-day or 3-day passes are also available. It's easy to get around the city without ever worrying about cars and parking.

The Beresford Arms Hotel was everything we wanted: reasonably priced, very comfortable, with an unusually helpful and friendly staff. Our room was on the small side, but what isn't in San Francisco at the lowest price room for the specific hotel? (The suite rooms would have been larger, at a bit higher cost.) Our bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was small but with good quality fixtures. Having breakfast included in the price saved us money. We enjoyed the fruit and sweet rolls breakfast--especially the long interval it was available (7-10am). The late afternoon wine hour had cheese and crackers and dried fruit. The lobby is very comfortable and set up well for small conversation groups. It's an inviting place to just sit for a while with the paper and a cup of coffee. Finally, the location worked well for us. We took BART from the airport to the Powell station and walked to the hotel, 5 or 6 blocks. The hotel is 3 blocks from Union Square and close to many MUNI lines and the cable cars, a couple of blocks from the theaters, with tons of nearby shopping. We plan to stay here again.

Quaint but nice

Robert, Boston, MA, 2007-02-23

WE enjoyed being able to jump right on the cable cars at the next street corner.THis would connect us werever we wanted to go.

This hotel is definitely not modern ,but it is well kept,amd my wife refered to it as quaint,almost European The bathroom fixtures could use replacement ,the knobs worked in reverse on the fixtures. The hotel staff were all very accommodateing and helpfull with tour recomendations and directions and suggestions for local restaurant All in all it was a very enjoyable stay .

enjoyable visit

donna, San Francisco, CA, 2007-02-23

we like being on union square.

We enjoyed our visit..the staff was friendly, room clean, maybe a little tired. We really enjoyed the junior suite with an equipped kitchen...the bathroom a generous size. But most of all they went out of their way and mailed us my therapeutic pillow without even being asked..we felt that was an over the top service.. We will book this hotel again.

great location

Anonymous, San Diego, CA, 2007-02-21

2 blocks from Union Square.

The location was excellent - close to trolley/BART, Union Sq. and dining. There is an excellent restaurant directly across the street - Borobudur and just down the street on Jones is Dotties. Dottie's is worth the wait for breakfast. The continental breakfast at the hotel had fresh fruit, but then only donuts or muffins. Needed some more healthier options, even a whole grain roll. Other than that, I would definately stay here again.

Great room, great value!!!

Gretchen, San Diego, CA, 2007-02-11

If you come up short on toiletries such as a toothbrush and toothpaste (like I did), the front desk will be very happy to supply you with those needed items. There are no hair dryers in the rooms, but they are available at the front desk as well. Union Sqaure is a short walk away. Great shopping.

This room was a great bargain. A junior suite, it had 2 queen size beds, a kitchenette with a mini bar, a large separate bathroom with spa tub, double sinks, toilet and bidet, and a desk area that included a comfortable couch. In addition, there was a wide double closet with mirrored doors that opened to reveal another mirror on the wall and a full chest of drawers. The hotel was within easy walking distance of Union Square, and offered a nice free continental breakfast, as well as a free wine and cheese tasting every afternoon. There was a spacious lobby with lots of seating and 2 internet-accessable computers, and a room to store luggage for early arrival.

Very friendly!!

Miguel, 2007-02-08

The hotel is in the corner of Post and Jones. If you arrive using BART, get to to Powell Station and walk all Powell and then turn left on Post. Avoid Civic Center Station and do NOT walk on Jones St, it's hideous and dangerous.

Very comfortable, quiet, clean, safe and cozy. The room was large with a very nice bathroom. Good quality products in the bathroom and kitchenette. Friendly and helpful staff. My family and I loved the complimentary breakfast and wine. It has a very good ubication, close to Union Square but not in the middle of it. Definitely worth the price.

Value for the money

Janet, Honolulu, HI, 2006-09-21

There are many lunch and dinner places within the vicinity, in fact, up and down Post Street and surrounding areas you can find plenty of places to eat.

This hotel offers good quality for the money. A continental breakfast with several bowls of sliced fruits (strawberries, melons, grapes,etc), muffins and coffee and tea. This is available for three hours in the morning. The late afternoon has a wine hour, with platters of cheese, crackers and nuts. Three bus routes run in front of the hotel and go to the financial district, ferry building and over to the Richmond area. Transfers are available to other lines The cable car and Union Square, however, is six blocks away. Generally speaking, for the money it is a good buy.

Great location, rooms, and service

Barbara, New York, NY, 2006-05-30

Don't bother to rent a car if you plan to remain in the downtown area. You can buy a day pass for public transportation, including cable cars and get wherever you want to go. Also, there are ferries from Fisherman's Wharf to Sausalito and Tiberion.

The Beresford Arms Hotel has a good downtown location a few blocks from Union Square and Market Street. Offer complementary continental breakfast and afternoon tea, including wine and cheese. Older building, newly renovated. Rooms large and clean. Bathroom large, newly renovated. No airconditioning, but not needed in cool, breezy San Francisco. Definitely good value and would recommend it highly.

Good location

Norman, Cedar Rapids, IA, 2005-10-01

No maps were available of the area, with the exception of the generic booklet that is published for the local hotels - and it is not very good.

With the exception of the Continental breakfast, everything was very nice. There should have been more wholesome or healthy choices besides the fruit, however the wine and cheese parties at 4:30 p.m. were a nice touch. One compaint would be that there was no hair-dryer in the room. Most hotels provide that amenity now. The concierge was very helpful in providing information on bus service to Golden Gate Park.
