Question from nelly
Hello,
Does anyone have any first hand experience w/ the Gaia Hotel in Napa, or any of the “eco friendly” hotels in the San Francisco Bay area?
Thanks

I’ve stayed at the Hotel Triton in San Francisco, which says it is green, but the best one I’ve found in San Francisco is the Orchard Garden Hotel. I had a long talk with the manager and have stayed there several times. I took pages and pages of notes of all the sustainable things they did there.
If you stay at the Orchard Garden, make sure to get a room on the street side. They are beautiful and bright with big windows. The back side rooms are dark and smaller.
A couple of years ago when I went to a conference, I went around and checked out all the “green” hotels on their list. Some were not at all green. The Orchard Garden is really the best. Organic food in the restaurant too.
