Would like to take the bart in from SFO to hotel (Inn at Union Square on Post st) anyone know how far of a walk approx from the Powell St stn, or should we cab it? thanks for the help!
bartmpmx3 - It is a few blocks uphill, but not a very steep grade. It depends on how much luggage you have - if it is light, you can do it; it not (travelling with 3 kids?) you may want to go by the Parc 55 Hotel and look for a cab. It won%26#39;t cost too much. Later you can test the kids endurance on the hills.
bartCab would cost no more than $45. BART will cost $5.15 per person, plus the walk. Sidewalk on Powell Street is one of the busiest you%26#39;ll find, so keep that in mind if you%26#39;ve got luggage to tow.
thank you very much for the great info once again!!! Thankfully this will be a child free trip for once althought I must say they are very jealous and want to visit as well. We may try to walk it but I think that it is going to be the most cost effective way of making it to the hotel by taking the bart and I guess if it seems like to much of a walk we will just grab a cab at Parc 55 as suggested.
The walk is about 4 blocks from the bart station. there is a little slope going up powell street, as others said a good armount of foot traffic depending on the time of day. takes about 10 minutes or so depending on the traffic lights. not that hard to do for the average person I think.
you may also want to look at the shuttles as the price would be about $15 per person, they drop you off right at the hotel doorstep.
what you take also depends on how much luggage you have to lug around. if you have more than 2 suitcases it may be better to take the shuttles, if you have a party of more than 2 or 3 then maybe better to cab it.
I have taken the bart into town with 3 suitcases (I%26#39;m a tightwad), paid less than $6 and walked more than 5 blocks and I haven%26#39;t had a problem. there are elevators at the bart station to take you up to the street level if you have suitcases, but they are slow.
jeffysgirl and D4real found ways to get from The Airport to Your Hotel that may be found at http://geocities.com/touoringsfo/FromSFO.html helpful.
Post Street is four short blocks, three up a gentle grade, from the Powell Street BART station.
