I tried not to think to much about the trip until the last few days before we left which resulted in the inability to make reservations for things on-line. Since we saw the sign for the AirBus to the subway system first we went that route to the city.
A nice guy on the TripAdvisor forums gave us specific instructions on how to get to our hotel on the subway – it worked out great. That was our first subway experience. Thankfully since we had just bought a week pass I wasn’t afraid to get on again!
We almost missed our hotel – there is not really a sign. At least a sign like hotels in San Francisco have – so that you can really tell what the hotel is! Throughout our trip we started saying that it was part of a secret society – at least we felt that way (and we totally did not belong!).
It was dark in there and we walked right past the check in desk (hidden away in an alcove) the first time we went by. Once we were able to talk with the counter guys he said we could actually check into our room – it was only 10am! We were very excited to get into the room and put stuff away before checking out the city.
The reviews that I had read said the rooms were dark – as you can see our room was not too dark, but we were also in the very front of the hotel and had a wall of windows which brought in a bunch of light. At night the lights were pretty small to light the room really bright but it was just the two of us and just made it a little more romantic!
Many of you know that I am the queen of coupons and want to get everything for a bargain. You can guarantee that I wasn’t shopping from this little market.
Are you serious??? $7.00 for a little can of Pringles? Candy Bars for $8.00? Who pays this? I bet the maids get to have a nice little snack when all this is about to expire!
After putting things away we went off to find the start of the tour...
Stay tuned for more.
