"Best Hotels Bets in San Francisco on a Budget"
The best place to get all lovey-dovey without spending the big bucks is at the Nob Hill Hotel, 835 Hyde St. (tel. 877/662-4455; www.nobhillhotel.com), a beautiful 1900s-era Victorian-style hotel with original marble flooring, high ceilings, and authentic antique furnishings-including heavy brass beds that don't squeak.
"Two unique, small, affordable hotels a little off the beaten track"
Built in 1906 and restored in 1998, this intimate hotel reflects its Victorian heritage with original furnishings, rich carpets, beautiful paintings and stained glass, and marble baths and lobby. It has been owned by the same family for fifty years and this shows in the personal attention and warmth of the Nob Hill Hotel.
The hotel is in a quiet location but in walking distance to Union Square, the Theater District, Polk Street, and the cable car line. Within the hotel is a small, romantic Italian restaurant. The Curbside Cafe, an intimate French restaurant and one of our favorites, is nearbyl
All rooms have modem hookups, coffee makers, and many other amenities, and most rooms have microwaves and mini-refrigerators. Two suites have Jacuzzi tubs, stereo, and an English garden. Rates include free evening wine tasting, morning Continental breakfast, and fitness passes.

"NOB HILL HOTEL OFFERS GREAT VALUES"
Good Life correspondent, D.K. Jackson, has provided out Southern California listeners with his favorite vacation getaways and travel tips for over 15 years.
He recently reported: "As our listeners know, I am always looking for great new values on the hotel scene in San Francisco that deserve mention on our show. A few weeks ago, I discovered the Nob Hill Hotel, an historic property and boutique style lodging option. The lobby, hallway and accommodations are all tastefully furnished with and amazing variety of antiques. A complete restoration was completed in 1998 and although many of the rooms are on the small side and a tad crowded they were clean and pleasant. If your budget allows, they also offer some of the most unique suites available in the bay area. This charming hotel is located at the foot of Nob Hill and within easy walking distance to the Theatre District and Union Square. Rates at the hotel begin as low as $70 a night, on a space available basis, and surprisingly include a complimentary continental breakfast and evening wine/snack hour. When you consider the often-exorbitant prices for hotel rooms in the city-by-the-bay, the Nob Hill provides guests a veritable travel bargain. For the best current rates contact the hotel directly at (415)885-2987 or check out their web site at www.nobhillhotel.com".
