LOCAL TRANSPORTATIONSan Francisco International Airport From the San Francisco Airport take the Marin Airporter (phone: 415/461-4222; $18.00 one way) from any of the blue pillars downstairs at ground level. This bus comes through on a regular schedule (usually every half-hour) which is posted on the pillars. Get off at the fourth stop (about an hour drive) at Larkspur Landing, which is about a mile from our class location. From there take a taxi if you are going to the Marin Suites Hotel or another nearby motel. If you are staying at the Corte Madera Inn, call 924-1502 from Larkspur Landing for their complimentary shuttle. You can also take the Marin Door to Door Airport Shuttle from the airport. The cost has stayed the same for seven years: $30 one way; $12 for each additional person. Call 415/457-2717 to make arrangements. If you call by noon the day before, they will meet you on time for your flight arrival. 
Public Transportation from the Oakland International Airport The Oakland Airport is just as close to our class location as the San Francisco Airport. Some airlines may charge less to fly into Oakland. From the Oakland Airport take the Sonoma County Airport Express (phone: 800-327-2024; $22 to San Rafael) which leaves the Oakland airport every 2 hours from 6 am to midnight. Buses pick up passengers directly outside baggage claim in the center island at the regional transportation stop. It is about an hour's ride to the San Rafael Transit Hub. From there you would take a taxi south to Corte Madera, which is about 3 miles. |
Reasonable Automobile Rentals Here are the car rental agencies with offices near the S.F. Airport that are usually the most reasonable. Note: car rental rates via websites are sometimes higher than via phone calls. Enterprise Rent-a-Car @ SF Airport, 650/697-9200, extension 8. They've lowered compact car rates for HTI students as of this writing to: $37.99 per day, $169.99 per week and $669.99 per month. Dollar Rent A Car, www.dollar.com, 650/244-4130 or 800/800-4000. Rates vary, but can be as low as $90 per week or $359 per 4 weeks, plus tax, if you reserve at least a month in advance. All of the above rates include generous free mileage, but not insurance, nor extra fees for persons under age 25. Be sure to confirm all costs when reserving your car. In the airport's baggage claim area, call any of the above agencies at the white courtesy phone, and they will send a shuttle to pick you up.  |
ACCOMMODATIONS
See above for Local Transportation See below for Directions to Class|
After classes begin, motel rooms can usually be arranged to be shared with another student to slash prices in half. (It may not be as easy to share accommodations for those who need to stay over just for occasional class nights.) See "Reasonable Accommodations" below for details. You don't need a car to get to class from the first three hotels listed below.
Be sure to mention HTI to get special rates offered to our students. Most of the rates below are promised throughout 2008, but we can't guarantee all of them. Besides the discounts listed below, if you stay in a California hotel at least 31 consecutive days, you can arrange to avoid paying sales tax. Reserve EARLY! This is a very popular area. These hotels can get booked on some days several months in advance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Corte Madera Inn
An excellent Best Western Inn with a lush, five acre resort-like setting, this is where our classes meet. HTI's hugely discounted single or double occupancy rate is $119/night including continental breakfast, plus 10% tax. So that works out to $59.50/night plus tax if you're sharing with another student. Facilities include launderette, shuttle, fax and secretarial services, picnic area, heated pool, two spas and a fitness center. Rooms have refrigerators. The large, charming "Town Centre" shopping center across the street has a supermarket and many restaurants and shops.
A three block walk from class, this is an apartment complex converted into a suite hotel, with an exercise room, sauna and heated pool. Most units include either a kitchen or kitchenette (all have at least a refrigerator and a microwave). Rates include a complementary continental breakfast. The steeply discounted HTI daily rates for 2008 are studio: $99; 1 bedroom: $109, 2 bedroom: $149. For example, sharing a 1-bedroom apartment with 2 beds would cost $55/night per person. HTI students staying at least 3 or 4 weeks may be able to get further discounts, depending on room availability.
Best Value Inn
A 15 minute walk from class, this is a small 18 room motel. Most of the rooms have refrigerators and microwaves, all rooms have free cable including HBO, CNN, ESPN. Special HTI weekday rates per room in 2008 are: $69/night for a room with a queen bed. This motel is also close to the "Town Centre" shopping center.
This friendly inn is close to the Golden Gate Bridge, at 3201 Steiner St. in northern San Francisco. Much closer than most SF accommodations, this inn is a 15-20 minute drive to class. The special 2008 room rate for HTI students is $64/night Winter-Spring and $79/night Summer, plus tax.
Extended Stay Deluxe
 This new hotel is a seven minute drive to class, located at 1775 Francisco Blvd. E. in San Rafael. It has fully equipped kitchens in all of the rooms, on-site laundry, indoor pool, outdoor hot tub, meeting room, breakfast, business center, wireless internet throughout the property, fitness center. Rates per night are: 1-6 nights - $129.99, 7-29 nights - $109.99, 30+ nights - $99.99 plus tax. |
Skylark Motel
Motel 6
International Quarters
American Youth Hostel Tel: 415/461-5199 fax: 415/925-1584 Only one mile from class at 2140 Redwood Highway, Greenbrae, CA 94904. Rates are $43 per day or $258 per week, plus tax, for 1-2 people, including water, electricity and cable TV. Reasonable Accommodations Ideas Local hotel prices are reflective of this being an upscale, popular area between San Francisco, beautiful parks and beaches, and the wine country. However, shared accommodations can help you cut the cost considerably. All of our accelerated classes have students from other states and countries who are actively seeking to share accommodations, but it is much better to arrange this once classes begin. (In fact, you can begin to meet classmates at our optional get-acquainted meeting the evening before class begins.) Plan on having your own private room for the first two or three nights, then a motel room can usually be shared for the remainder of the time. Or other opportunities, which may be even more appealing, can occur. For example, once classes have begun, another possibility may be to get a room at a local classmate's home, which would cost considerably less than motel rates.
For those of you who have a travel trailer or other camping gear and like the outdoors, there are some lovely parks in the area with reasonable rates. There is also Marin Park, (a trailer park) about a mile from class (see above). | ||||||||||||||||||||||
