i don't know what your idea of expensive is, but one place i've stayed in san francisco was particularly nice. It is called the Seal Rock Inn, and is located near ( but not on ) the ocean right near ( you guessed it ) Seal Rock, by golden gate park. The trick is to call far enough in advance to get the right rooms. You want to be on the 3rd, or possibly 2nd floor, on the side facing the ocean. The rooms we stayed at ( one on 3, one on 2 ) were very nice. The entire wall facing the ocean was windows, and there is a pretty little park between you and the ocean. The rooms had 2 beds, a fireplace (!!), and a small kitchenette ( with a stove, fridge, and some counters ). We didn't cook at all when we were there, but we could have ( offset some restaurant costs ). if you call for reservations, make sure you are specific about what you want in your room, cause they differ a lot in features & price. when we stayed there ( ~ 2 years ago ) it cost us about $48 a nite, which was about what we were paying for far more ordinary accomodations. enjoy your stay, and say hello to san francisco for me... garry hodgson BTL whippany floyd!garry p.s. they make some nifty omelettes in their restaurant downstairs...try the one stuffed with fruit & sour cream...
