    a hostel? In the Bay Area? Hmmmm......I don't know about that......Just try using hotels.com or expedia.com......the Bridge Benefit is held in Mountain View, CA so use that city as a starting point.......

    good luck.......

    I've reserved a room at the Pacific Hotel Lodge. This is where I stayed when I went to the 2001 Bridge School Benefit. It's a nice inexpensive hotel not too far from the airport and even closer to the venue.

    I just got a hotel for $43 on Priceline.com The Mountain View area is great for using Priceline because there are so many decent hotels within a 5 mile radius of the venue. My room is at the Homestead Extend Stay on El Camino Real. It's 3 miles from the venue. It's funny because I stayed there in July when we seen NIN. Also on a Priceline bid. The place is nice and they even have full kitchens. So check it out if you want a room for $43 that's decent and close to the venue. It's a better option than spending $75 on a room that you'll only be sleeping in.

    agreed, extended stays are pretty awesome. i stayed in a few while on tour this summer. the kitchen thing is awesome. saves on restaurants and it's great if ur a vegan like me, heh

    Try to get a rate at the Hotel Sofitel, I live on the Peninsual and will stay here just to get away, great pool, bar, rooms, food it is in Redwood Shores about 15 min from SFO and 30 min from Shoreline.

    And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without

    I know this is an old thread, but it's what I came up with when I searched. :( The title fits anyway. :D
    So, have any of you booked yet, or have any idea where you are staying. We haven't been since 99 so kind of forget. I just thought before I started searching and booking I'd check it out here. :)

    i'm wondering the same thing......i've thought about staying at the same place i've stayed the last 2 times i've gone.....it's about a mile from shoreline so i can walk to the show.....but if everybody is staying in one place in might stay there....:)

    I know the place we stayed in 99 was pretty far from the venue. We couldn't get a cab after the shows so ended up walking and it took us over an hour which is probably over 4 miles as we walk fast. It wasn't bad, in fact night two we actually enjoyed it as it was quite cool out. But I'm thinking there are probably closer hotels. :D Walking really works better as the parking lot was a disaster getting out. Where did you stay before? :)

    the county inn i think is the name....it's the closest hotel to the venue.....it's nothing special but it's clean and quiet....and the walk isn't that bad....beats the hell out of trying to park.....:)
  • wolfbearwolfbear Posts: 3,965
    Thanks. I do agree on the parking. I remember that as being a disaster and being glad we didn't drive. Ditto on the cab service afterwards. On the first night we waited around for a cab for like an hour and then just decided just to walk. I think that's why night two wasn't so bad - we knew what to expect. :)

    Is it an easy/safe area to walk back from? I'm not going to Bridge but am going to Download the week before and prefer to walk to venues rather than dealing with a car. Do you have to cross an 8 lane highway or something? I've never been to California.

    haha.....no it's not bad.....you do have to cross a 8 lane highway but it's over a wonderful overpass....:)....i think it's about a mile or so.....not a bad walk after a show....:)
  • JaneNYJaneNY Posts: 4,438
    Thanks! I certainly don't mind a walk, just wanted to make sure it was basically safe, so thanks for answering :)
