Monte Cristo Inn

Free Wi-Fi, free continental breakfast and non-smoking rooms contribute to an enjoyable stay for guests at the Monte Cristo - a Victorian bed-and-breakfast right in the middle of great restaurants and shopping in one of San Francisco's oldest neighborhoods. Built in 1875, the Monte Cristo has a colorful history as one of the city's oldest buildings and a survivor of the 1906 earthquake and fire. Today the restored structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These days, the two-story Monte Cristo has 14 unique rooms accented with antiques, Persian rugs and hardwood floors. All rooms are non-smoking and have private baths, flat-panel cable TV and DVD players, telephones and free Wi-Fi (available throughout the hotel.) Guests are offered a complimentary continental breakfast to begin the day, and there's a computer kiosk available for guests to check their e-mail. Free parking is also offered. Located at the junction of Presidio Heights, Pacific Heights and Laurel Heights, the Monte Cristo is just two blocks from Sacramento Street and its restored Victorian shops, highly-rated restaurants and antique stores. More first-class shopping on Union Street and Fillmore Street is about 10 blocks away. The hotel is 15 miles from San Francisco International Airport.
