San Francisco Hotels with Kitchenette

Staying in San Francisco hotels with kitchenettes has two benefits, a place to stay and a place to cook. San Francisco is one of the dining Meccas of the world. In the United States, people and food critics argue whether New York or San Francisaco is a better city for food. If that's the case, why would people even think about eating a meal in their hotel room? Simple, tourist families get tired of dragging their kids down to the local drive-in for a stack 'o cakes. Road warrior business people eventually get tired of room service, don't want the breakfast buffet, and just want to eat a quick and easy meal in their room without any hassles without waiters, tipping, too much salty food, greasy spoon restaurants, and sitting alone at a table.

As exciting as it sounds to dine out constantly, it gets tiresome. Sometimes people away from home just want to cook for themselves. They may want to do it to save on their travel budget or they may do it because they just want to cook for themselves. Regardless, the solution for these travelers is to stay in San Francisco hotels with a kitchenette. These are hotels or inns that have kitchens in their rooms set up for cooking. Typically these rooms are equipped with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, cooking utensils, dinnerware and eating utensils. As a kitchenette it implies that the only thing a guest needs to bring is food, everything is there for their use to cook and also to clean up after. Remember, maid service is not there to wash your dishes.

There are a lot of hotels in the City but not necessarily ones with a kitchenette. However, here are a handful of hotels in the City with rooms or suites with kitchenette facilities. These are some of the best, in good locations, and have a smattering of charm to bring you through the front door:

• Beresford Arms Hotel - A small hotel with twelve suites with kitchens. The hotel is located three blocks from Union Square for shopping and dining, and a short walk to the Financial District. You will find well-appointed suites in a comfortable and convenient hotel.
• The Halycon Hotel - A small boutique hotel around the corner from the Beresford Arms Hotel, just three blocks from Union Square. The rooms are small, but very clean. Twenty of their rooms have private kitchenettes. Wireless Internet is complimentary throughout the hotel.
• Cow Hollow Suites - On Lombard in the hip and happening Marina District. Shopping boutiques, great dining, nightlife and just hanging out. Close for going for a trek in Muir Woods and the wine country. There are three to four room suites with full kitchens and dining area.
• Inn 1890 - A historic Victoria B&B with charm in a residential area near Golden Gate Park. It's called the Inn 1890 because that's when it was built. Step back to an age before the '06 quake and imagine what the City was like before the earth shook, rattled, and rolled.
• Pacific Heights Inn - A small inn with some kitchenettes on Union Street near Lombard. This hotel provides easy in-out location to the City's sites and also to escape across the Golden Gate Bridge.
• Stanyan Park Hotel - A Victorian hotel with 36 rooms. There are nine large suites with full kitchens. It's across the street from Golden Gate Park, close to the eclectic Haight Ashbury, and has good access to the rest of the City via public transportation and auto.

Here's a sampling of hotels and inns with rooms that include microwave ovens, refrigerators, and coffee makers. These are strictly for convenience and not full-blown kitchens to cook Thanksgiving dinner. However, they can be useful for reheating next day restaurant leftovers. In most cases there will be no kitchen sink or dishwasher for clean-up; but, you probably won't be interested in dishes to wash anyway:

• Days Inn Downtown - A national chain with three properties in the City. The one on Grove Street has some with mini-kitchenettes.
• Nob Hill Motor Inn - In a nice Nob Hill neighborhood good walking distance to Union Square, Fisherman's Wharf, and for those with a wanderlust, to AT&T Park.
• Marriott Courtyard Downtown - A Marriott chain for the economical business and tourist traveler. The downtown property has some with refrigerators and microwaves in rooms.

The following are some convenient locations to the City for people in the area on business, tourists looking to budget their trip, or those looking for something different:

• The Lodge at Tiburon - A luxury hotel with residential suites with kitchenettes. It's on the tip of the Tiburon peninsula across from Sausalito. A retreat just minutes into San Francisco and a good spot for a San Francisco and Northern California vacation. Dine in the City, hike Muir Woods, taste wine in Napa, and relax in the Spa at The Lodge to recuperate.
• Summerfield Suites-Belmont - Owned by Hyatt Hotels, this residence inn with kitchenettes is down the peninsula in Belmont, halfway between San Francisco and the Silicon Valley.
• Bay Landing Hotel-Burlingame - This hotel has mini-kitchenettes and is located near SFO airport. It's a good place for business or pleasure travelers.
• Embassy Suites-Burlingame - Suites with mini-kitchenettes just south of the SFO airport.
• Marin Suites - Located in Corte Madera about 10 to 15 minutes across the Golden Gate Bridge. The Marin Suites have fully-equipped kitchens in each suite.

On a final note, remember to turn off the stove before you leave or go to bed…and try not to burn the toast.
