Hotel Monaco San Francisco, San Francisco

Monaco Hotel SF is located right smack in downtown SF. So it's a great spot to begin the walking tour from. Parking is unfortunately by valet only and costs at least $20 a day for in and out privileges but hey, that is probably how much you'll end up paying in any hotel in downtown SF. The rooms are typical boutique style so you wont cram more than 2 people in a room. Washrooms also are small. The decor of the hotel is very colorful and very "jester" like. Rooms are really well-maintained and very very clean. The staff is very helpful and courteous. The front desk staff even remembered my name which lent a really personal touch. There arent many facilities as the site of the hotel is really small but they did have complimentary wine tasting at 5pm everyday when I visited. Another thing that was unique about this hotel was that it also offered complimentary palm-reading in the lobby which I thought was really special. I got a great deal for about $70.
