Reservations have been made and I decided on the Hotel Serrano - A Kimpton Hotel for the week. It appears to be located in the Theatre District about 2 blocks southwest of Union Square. I am a little worried about how close it is to the Tenderloin, a neighborhood known for shall we say questionable activities. Although, it is close enough to Union Square and it is the tourist season, so there shouldn't be a problem.
I got a killer deal on the room. All of the travel sites give it a minimum of 3 stars and my company travel agency gives it 4 stars. It looks like the standard room runs about $200-$250/night. I got it for $90/night through Priceline on the non-bid site. Parking appears to be $20-$30 night in the area, but I will just use my preferred Sutter-Stockton Garage ($8/night after 5PM) and take the few block walk to the hotel. Reviews say that there is scaffolding up on the side of the building for renovations and that it is a little loud. I figure since I don't get there until after normal working hours anyway, it shouldn't be an issue.
As the new work week approaches, I'm looking forward to the week and getting to eat out in the city again.....
