There seems to be a lack of resorts in the Bay area, yes?
Maybe I just haven't clicked the right places, I don't know.
Can anybody recommend some nice place (I don't golf, so I don't
care about that) that is not a complete rip-off, but has a
good atmosphere and lots of room for running on the grounds?
Many thanks. Oh, and I'm NOT gay.

How about the Sonoma Mission Inn?

The Bay Area is not where people to for "resorts". You may want to try the
Monterey area or up in the wine country. Is the Claremont hotel considered
a "resort"?

BTW, which B&B did you stay in where they have lots of room for running on
the grounds?

Have you looked at any of the motel-type hotels on Lombard street? Like the
Chealsea? There are several others. You can walk or motor down to Marina
Green (maybe 1/2 mile or so) and run to your heart's content. I don't know
where else in SF you can run, except of course, Golden Gate Park. On
Lombard (called Cow Hollow around here) there's lots of nightlife, etc and
it's pretty quiet at night in the hotels so long as you make sure to get a
room not on the street.

Hope this helps..

I have checked only with Orbitz; I haven't seen anything too exciting.
Maybe I should look some more.

Yep, I've run down by the bay when I've visited before. I haven't been
into the city of S.F. in over 10 years (I've had plane changes, visited
Carmel after de-planing there, etc., since then though).

I've never actually gone over there. What's it like nowadays. Didn't
it used to be a little sleazy? I know some runners who've run there
in the past.

Hi-

Golden Park is beautiful, very safe during the day and mostly at night
as well, varied- an absolute delight! Some of my favorite things to do
with free time is to take a book and find a nice tree in the park to sit
under, watch people, kids, dogs, runners, take a picnic, run, walk,
visit the AIDS grove, the arboretum, the tulip garden in season, the Art
Museum (which is closed now while they build a new one which is the most
inappropriate, ugly building to ever be put in a park setting!), watch
the lawn bowlers, ride a bike, rent a little boat on Stow Lake, and lots
of other things. It's great for running, walking being totally alone or
among lots of peole. It's huge and you can get whatever you want.

Lots of it is left a little wild to enhance it's beauty. But sleazy?
Anything but!
