I'll check it with my banker, euh my wife.
Mary, been myself on the road a while, I know that a hotel for bands is not a place to consider. Dawn roadies. LOL
Thanks and Peace everybody, Richard.
the phoenix seems to be part of that "chain" too, though as I recall they're all pretty individual.
I've stayed at three hotels in the JDV (that stands for Joie de Vivre) chain and they were great! The Hotel Del Sol is in the Marina district and was the simplest of the three and we visited it in '05. Nice neighborhood and very pleasant folks who ran it. The Galeria Park Hotel was where we stayed last year. Fantastic location within walking distance of museums, Chinatown, North Beach and a ton of other cool places. My favorite though was the Hotel Kabuki, in Japantown, where we stayed in '08. Very cool rooms, excellent hotel bar (which to my mind is something very rare) and it honestly is one of two hotels I've been to in the world where I actually enjoyed sitting in my room, looking out the window.

in 5 letters!!!!
excellent news, and agreed re the sea lions!
I will be there too from 1-5 May. Lucky to be able to stay with friends. I hope there is a show we can meet up for (and can the sealions come back too please?)
SF is pricey. You might want to look at this place: traveling musicians stay there a lot: http://www.jdvhotels.com/hotels/sanfrancisco/phoenix
Motel 6 in SF = $100
Hyatt in Montreal = $100
WTF?
Look for alternatives... I heard of a site where you crash in other people's houses for cheap. If you could find deadheads...
for our needs. We're looking for a clean place, a good bed, a tv set and a breakfast. So how about the Opal SF or another one with about same price?
No offence Lamagonzo, I just want to save money to buy some t-shirts and a Dead-o-poly.
Peace, Richard.

Mary's right. While the JDV chain is a group of boutique hotels, each one is distinct.
