Although not the capital of San Francisco, California, it is for many people called the heart of the state. San Francisco is known for the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Chinatown, the Painted Ladies Mann and Fisher's Wharf. There is sun and sea and there are plenty of opportunities to relax. The city is a real hippie town and that is all over the buildings, but also to the people themselves. San Francisco is also very popular with the gay scene and there is even a whole 'gay district'. No wonder that such a bustling city is popular with so many people.Buena Vista Motor InnThe Buena Vista Motor Inn located on Lombard Street and providing a reasonable price for a night.

If you go to San Francisco, then you can hardly not make any visit to Alcatraz. Except a piece of history, Alcatraz is also a very impressive place to visit.The history of AlcatrazAlcatraz Island is located in the San Francisco Bay. In 1775 the island was discovered by the Spaniards. Between 1850 and 1906 the island was used as a military fortress. Then it became a military prison and remained so until 1933. Only then was the island of Alcatraz that we know best: a maximum security prison. This has been in use until 1963. A few famous inmates were Al Capone and Robert Stroud.It was said that none of the island could escape. The monitoring was awful stern and the flo...Read More

But in San Francisco, you do not hire car, because public transportation is perfect.

You enter the hotel and you are immediately in a large lobby with gleaming floors and a beautiful lobby with black leather arm chairs. It excels at you. There is an elevator in the building and disabled facilities. Four rooms even have wheelchair facilities.

Friendly staff, after all you are in America. And friendly, it is important for the level of their tips (tips). The usual reception procedure follows. They ask the hotel voucher, which I luckily had with me. You fill your details, you give your credit card and you will receive the key to your room. I ask myself sometimes wonder what an American without a credit card must here. All rooms are non-smoking, that I was again emphatically said.

In the hotel's various facilities, a separate agency, where you can arrange day trips (eg a visit to Alcatraz) to fitness and meeting facilities and a swimming pool on the 4th floor. Nice is that in the morning newspaper for your door. My god, what are those papers thick!

The concept of the rooms in all Holiday Inn hotels I've been the same. A reasonable room with two double beds. A worksheet as small desk, a television. The TV channels and a lot of it is not enough then there's pay television. It is even possible to make games. But I still do not know how that works! Large shower and bath and toilet facilities Well maintained. The room is cleaned every day and the bed linen changed every day. There is a hairdryer in the bathroom. And of course, shampoo and shower gel. Free coffee / tea making facilities and a mini fridge on the worktable. There is a price list for the mini fridge, so you can decide whether you want to drink expensive drinks. Coffee and tea is free. In the hallway is an icemaker. Air conditioning, which you can arrange in the room.

The Holiday Inn concept is recommended for all America. I know what I can expect and that suits me fine. The location of the hotel is actually in the middle of San Francisco makes you not only the tourist area of downtown and Fisherman's Wharf visit, but also another side goes. And the artists' district also has some. Travelling by bus is excellent. For me it was a good hotel, I can recommend anyone.
