Marriott Courtyard San Francisco Downtown: San Francisco, California


Property

The Marriott Courtyard San Francisco Downtown looks like a huge, weird jukebox on the skyline, but inside it’s wonderful. Families will be very comfortable in the spacious 1-bedroom suites here (King bed, sofa bed, separate living room). Be sure to ask for a suite with a closing door between the bedroom and living room; there are a handful on the 15th floor that don’t have them.

Location
On 2nd and Folsom in SoMa, easy walking distance to AT&T Park, the MOMA, Union Square, and the Metreon Entertainment Center. San Francisco’s other tourist attractions are a bit of a hike from here, but public transportation is good and cheap (and your kids actually like trains, streetcars, and buses).

Sleeps
2-5 in the suites (as long as one is a baby in a travel crib), otherwise 2-4.

Highlights
Indoor heated swimming pool and spa (especially nice in the winter). Room service. Free HBO. Starbucks on site for a quick, no-fuss breakfast.

Good to know
Parking is astronomically expensive. Luckily there are plenty of lots in the neighborhood, so shop around.

Tea Tasting in Chinatown

Tea Tasting in Chinatown

San Francisco offers many diversions. Many people choose the classics, such as riding a cable car or touring Angel Island. Others prefer to shop and eat their way through the city. Since we're locals, we like our San Francisco adventures slightly more offbeat.
