Families of thr ee can stay in a r oom with one queen and one twin for $90 or less. Larger families will be relegated to twin-bedded rooms for the kids and queen rooms for the adults the r ooms don t connect, so this hotel isn t ideal for families with y ounger kids. The location is within walking distance to N orth Beach, Fisherman s Wharf, and public transportation, but this is a tough neighborhood in which to par k. Bottom line: the San Remo isn t for everybody. If you expect a high lev el of service and comfort on your vacation, you ll be better off at a mainstr eam hotel.
