Thankyou for your help We are looking at the following hotels for 4th July '09 - 7th July '09 4* USE $102 p.n Fitness, pool, restaurant, bus.centre, internet, spa Thinking this may be the Palace Hotel? 3.5* Fishermans Wharf $112 p.n Fitness, pool, restaurant, bus.centre, laundry, high speed internet Could this be the Hyatt? 3* Fishermans Wharf $95 p.n Fitness, pool, restaurant, bus.centre, laundry, internet Not sure if this is the Holiday Inn or the Radisson? We have been to SF before (24 years ago) and we stayed at FW. This time we will have our 2 children with us (10 and 13 ) so we want to make sure that we are going to be in a decent hotel. We will also have a hire car, which is a consideration as I have read that parking at hotels is expensive. Another question I have is, is one area better than the other, seeing that we are going the be in SF on the 4th of July, and expecting that there may be some sort of celebration somewhere within the city? Not sure what to expect being Aussies? And the very last question is have we allowed enough or too much time if we are leaving Anaheim LA on the 2nd of July, intending to spend two nights on the journey to SF? We will be driving along the coast. Our decision regarding this question may change the accommodation dates. We appreciate all the help and possible identification of the above hotels
