Getting around: Walking is a popular way of getting around at any hour. San Francisco’s MUNI system offers routes throughout the city and includes electric streetcars, cable cars, trolleys, buses, and light rail. Several MUNI bus stops are within two blocks of the hotel, and a cable car stop is three blocks from the hotel. All-day and three-day MUNI passes both cost between $5–$15 and are valid for unlimited travel and transfers. Fees subject to change without notice. The BART rail system provides access to much of the Bay Area, including Berkeley and Oakland; the Powell St BART Station is six blocks from the hotel. Taxis are also available. Plentiful alternative transportation makes renting a car unnecessary, and parking in the city is generally scarce and expensive. For travel to outlying areas guests can rent a car for the day.
