My son and I are arriving at SFO at 12:45pm and going to Parc 55 Hotel. We will have one suitcase each plus hand luggage. What is the best way to get to the hotel and roughly how much would it be?
Transportation to Parc 55 hotel from SFO
The easiet and cheapest way is to take BART(rapid transit) from the airport to the Powell street station. The fare is $5.35pp. The hotel is directly across thestreet from the BART station.

I used BART to get to my hotel last time I was in San Francisco in April. It was very easy. Just follow the signs from the arrival area to the train. There are ticket machines just before you go through the turnstiles, and they take cash or credit cards.
The woman in front of me had trouble with using her credit card because when you first insert it, the display showed ';$20'; and she didn%26#39;t need that expensive a ticket. We figured out to use the ';down'; arrows to get the correct price for her ticket.
Then we started talking and boarded the train together. She was from New York and rides subways all the time, but it was a new experience for me. The first thing she did was get on her phone and call all her friends to tell them how clean and nice the train was.
You can see the system map and schedules on the BART website:

Better instructions on getting to BART at the airport:
The SFO BART Station is located on the Departures/Ticketing Level of the International Terminal (Boarding Area G side). You can get to BART from any other terminal by riding SFO%26#39;s free AirTrain to the Garage G/BART Station stop. The AirTrain makes loops around the airport terminals; just get off at the G stop to transfer to BART into SF.
Thank you everyone.
Is there enough room for luggage beside you on the BART?
Yes, there is plenty of room for the luggage. The seats near the door are quite wide and many people stand with their bikes there when it is allowed.
