Hotwire Hotel: 2* San Francisco (Japantown-Civic Center North) Civic Center Inn

[life@LA]

I got this from hotwire:

2-star hotel in Japantown - Civic Center North

But I didn't get what people like. Cathedral Hill Hotel

I have it Civic Center Inn at$68. I browse around, it is only $2 cheaper than on web. Disappointed. :)

Also thanx for the addition for this new property to the BetterBidding Hotwire Hotel List

Yes, this is a new hotel for the board. We hope you'll like your stay. The other hotel is a 2.5* that's why you didn't get that.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links to start future purchases.

This used to be the Travelodge and it's a rough location at Polk and Ellis. VERY Tenderloin.

Hotwire reservations are nonrefundable but I'd still call and request a cancellation based on the TripAdvisor reviews, especially if you've booked a multi-night stay. Can't hurt to ask and for $68 you can do much better.

As for the Cathedral Hill Hotel, high on my list, this is from the website's reservation page:

Sutter Health owns the Cathedral Hill Hotel. They're going to demolish it and build a new hospital on the site.

Wow. That's a shocker. I don't think there's anything left on Van Ness from when I lived there. Guess a hospital there makes sense though. (Sorry to be OT.)

I won't miss the Cathedral Hill Hotel (never stayed there) but I'll miss their parking garage. The Cathedral Hill is across the street of Tommy's Joynt, a hofbrau style restaurant where I like to have lunch. The Cathedral Hill's garage validated parking for Tommy's customers for $1.50 or $2.00. Once the hospital opens I doubt they'll let Tommy's cusomters park for cheap any more.
