San Francisco California is located on the centrally on the coast. It is one of California's greatest Bay Area cities. The population is currently 776,733 +. Many people go there to see Alcatraz which is a famous legendary prison island that held famous prisoners like Al Capone, George Kelly "Machine Gun Kelly", and Robert Stroud "Bird Man of Alcatraz". One of the many piers, Pier 39, even has a history of being the center for cable cars, shopping, and much more. San Francisco is famous for it's gold rush era and for it's earthquakes.

This city has so much to do that you wouldn't just want to stay one day to try to see it all. It would take about five days to see mostly everything. Let's start off by booking a comfortable hotel. One that is cheap but has great accommodations like parking, Internet access, phone, television, and good comfortable beds. Now since my travels to and from this beautiful and enchanting city, I recommend Days Inn on the coastal side of San Francisco. It is located on Sloat Avenue and you get a great view for a reasonable price. The managers are friendly and they serve to those with handicaps. Although check in is at 2PM, make sure you have plenty to do before check in.

My suggestion for leisure while waiting for check in is going to the beach to collect sand dollars and sea shells, the San Francisco Zoo, and don't forget to look around the Cliff House that is situated on top of the ridge above the beach area. Another thing to do is take a walk around the Golden Gate Park and check out the dutch windmill. After all these events check in will be a very big welcome at your hotel. The parking is right on premises, in fact it is part of the hotel. If you get a room with a side street view, not to worry, traffic on that road is pretty much quiet throughout the day and night.
