Hi,

San Francisco Marriott Marquis is very close to the Moscone Center.

Maybe that could be something?

Cheers

I stayed at the King George last year... it was pretty good. The room was bizarre in that the ceiling was REALLY low... wouldn't take you being much over 6 feet tall (I'm 5'10") for you to be uncomfortable. However, it was decent, the service was good and I am not the type of person to spend a whole hell of a lot of time in an hotel, anyway.

The King George has the advantage that it's close to a lot of cool stuff and great places to eat. Close walk to Chinatown, and a middling length but nice walk to the Moscone Center.

Also, the Sugar Cafe is a great place to get breakfast... just a short walk away

In years past VMWare has never lumped the price of the conference and hotel together.  I doubt they will go that route this year.

The recommendation of hotels usually comes out later in the year, prolly in June going from years past.   This includes a discounted rate for the conference.  Its a small discount compared to most hotels normal rates, just from my comparison in the past.

Hi Chris,

In 2007 I stayed at Serrano Hotel.

The hotel was okay and the walking distance was'nt too far (helps when there is a Starbucks on the way)

One thing that bothers me the most was that they did have a restaurant/place, which means you had

to find a place for breakfast in the morning.

I know some people eat breakfast at the conference, but being european, I'm not really into having cakes and hardboiled egs in the

morning. :-)

Last year, I stayed at the Hiltons in the financial district, which was very nice and close to China town.

Also a fair walk to the conference.

Cheers!
