Parc 55 – San Francisco
Last week I stayed in San Francisco to attend VMWorld 2009. What is VMWorld? A computer conference. That doesn’t have much to do with this so keep reading. So I had to find a hotel room for the week. A co-worker of mine discovered that if I stay in the Hilton all but one day its only $99 a night. If I stay Wednesday night all the nights then go up to $249 a night. This made no sense to me so I called the Hilton asking why they did that. They couldn’t give me a good answer so I decided I will just book all but one night then make a seperate reservation for my last night. Save a little money for my employer. Then I started looking around and I realized that for $249 a night I could switch hotels and get a change of scenery. So I booked a standard room at the newly renovated Parc 55 hotel. This hotel was right across the street I couldn’t have asked more a more convenient switch. So I went to check into the Parc 55 and I was told my room was not ready so I asked if I could have another room. The lady behind the counter said, “Trust me you want to wait, go shopping and come back in two hours.” She said I was on the 32nd floor. I came back a few hours later and a different lady behind the counter commented on the room. I was excited to see what all the commotion was about. So 3207. I head to the elevator and turns out there are only 32 floors in this hotel. Wow top floor. So I get into my room and it was the biggest hotel room I have every been in. Three rooms, 2 40inch LCD TV’s, 3 panoramic windows. It even had a hallway. Even better than the room is the view. See the photo gallery for more pictures.
