Comments Regarding Hotel Choice

If you plan to have a car while in San Francisco, the Hampton Inn and Days Inn may prove more convenient than the downtown hotels (free parking and less traffic!)

If you are flying into SFO and plan to rely on public transportation during your stay, the downtown hotels will be significantly more convenient. Many are located near BART stations. Note that the areas around the Powell St. station (Powell and Market) and the Montgomery station (Montgomery and Market) are a bit more pleasant than the area around the Civic Center station (Market and 8th), but all are convenient. City College is walking distance from the Balboa BART station. The Friday dinner banquet will be located within walking distance of the Powell and Montgomery BART stations.
