A Review of San Francisco, California

My husband and I are very simple people. That is not to say that we don't have money; we just like to keep things simple and enjoy the little things in life. When considering places to go for our honeymoon, we thought it would be nice to see the west coast (as we are from the east coast). We enjoy culture, fine dining, and wine. We don't feel the need to go to clubs or party it up like we're teenagers. We made the decision to go to San Francisco, stay at a five star hotel and take day trips around the city and to Napa Valley. We researched the area using the Internet and books, and created an itinerary of events for the week. We booked a room at the top-rated hotel, the Mandarin Oriental, and made car reservations. We would be brining a lap top to make any further itinerary changes. We called the hotel the morning before we were to leave to confirm our reservation, again, and to ask about the parking situation, as we were going to have a rental car. We were informed that it would be an additional $45.60 per day to park our car in their lot, which had not been disclosed to us when we booked the hotel through Expedia. We went ahead and called Expedia and canceled our rental car, deciding that it would be cheaper to take taxi's and the municipal rail everywhere around the city, and we could take a limo or shuttle to Napa when we went.
