HappyCruiserettu Posted July 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Arriving at SFO at 6PM, Sun, 1/26. Boarding Grand Princess at noon next day for Hawaii rt. Need hotel recommendation for the night. Airport and/or Cruise Terminal shuttle would be good. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philob Posted July 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2019 What's your budget? They all go about $250-300+ a night. The nearest hotels to the cruise terminal are over a mile away; Fisherman's Wharf to the north and the Financial District/Embarcadero to the south. Flat walk, taxi, or Lyft/Uber to to the terminal. Plus there's the F Line street cars, but those are made up of vintage street cars from around the country/world, but are not luggage friendly. Alternative is to stay at one of the airport hotels, cheaper, and most have shuttles to/from the airport. You can either taxi or Lyft/Uber to the cruise terminal. If Princess has a shuttle, you can take the hotel shuttle back to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATSEAMYLIFE Posted July 27, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Since your time in the City is limited I would suggest staying out by the airport and then just UBER to the port in the morning. We like the Embassy Suites at 150 Anza Blvd. They have a shuttle that will pick you up at the airport. They have a great bar/restaurant with views of the SFO flight path. You will usually find prices out by the airport cheaper than in town. Sunday night can be a tweener as it's not considered "business" days unless there's a big convention in town. We visit SF a few times a year and January is "low season" if there is such a thing. We usually go for Friday-Sunday or just Saturday-Sunday and stay in downtown. In fact we have rooms booked at the Hilton Financial District for $300, that's a Jr Suite, balcony, with city view. Keep price shopping as that room has come down $100 since I first booked it two months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check out the Embassy Suites. We've had good experiences with ES in other locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much should we expect to pay Lyft/Uber for SFO to cruise terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
