Buzzing with a bright, bold Karl Pei mural, a cozy fire place, and a coffee table full of Dr. Suess books, Hotel Triton, located in downtown San Francisco, melds pop culture with whimsy effortlessly.
Part of the San Fran-based Kimpton Hotel group, Hotel Triton is a funky boutique hotel nestled at the corner of Bush Street and Grant Avenue, across from the entrance to San Franciscos fabled Chinatown. It has 140 rooms, including seven suites. (Read more about Hotel Tritons special Celebrity Suites here.)
While Hotel Triton may not technically fall into the budget category (rates begin at a reasonable $149 per night), the hotel nevertheless offers lots of bang for your buck: free warm chocolate chip cookies during check-in, a 5-6 p.m. free wine hour with tarot card or astrology readings (for a fee), and coffee and tea service every morning. Theres also free wi-fi access for Kimpton InTouch members (membership is free as well). There is no airport shuttle, but $8.10 (as of this writing) gets you a quick 30-35 minute BART ride from SFO to the Montgomery stop, just four walkable blocks from the hotel. (Or from the Oakland Airport, take the AirBart shuttle to the Coliseum/Oakland Airport BART stop, then to Montgomery for $6.80 total, also in about 30 minutes.)
The rooms are small and eclectically charming with bright accent walls, a cute and kitschy honor bar with organic options, and even a wall unit air conditioner. Theres also a 32-inch LCD flat screen TV with Nintendo, and an iHome sound system docking station. Theres a fully stocked mini-bar so stocked there isnt much room for extra items but there are no in-room microwaves or coffee makers (although the front desk can surely accommodate such requests). The essential to budget travel is to approach onward. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our minds. Preparation and spending our travel budget properly is a priority for most families. Lowering expending and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievements and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding economizing money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal finances is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, regardless of whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel charge!. (Note: All room details refer to a King room with one bed, unless otherwise noted.)
The bathrooms are quite small so small the sink and vanity are located outside the bathroom but adequate with deep, homey bathtubs. Many amenities are complimentary like toothpaste, lotion, and shaving cream but not automatically stocked in your room (to eliminate unnecessary waste). Ask the front desk for these items.
Like all Kimpton Hotels, Triton participates in the Kimpton Cares program, which means your bed linens are changed only upon your request (via a card placed on your pillow), and recycling is available in every room. And if youre driving your hybrid vehicle into the city? Youll get discounted valet parking for it.
BEST FIT
Hotel Triton is a great fit for those traveling alone or with a partner, whether on business or for that romantic weekend. And while the rooms (aside from the suites) wont easily accommodate more than 2 people, the hotel has the perfect fun vibe for a girls or guys weekend getaway.
