An affordable boutique hotel with a wacky personality, the Carriage Inn decorates each of their 48 rooms in reference to local personalities like Frank Chu and Jello Biafra. Though it's somewhat off-the-beaten-path from major tourist sites, it's located under five minutes walking distance from the Civic Center BART station, so is easily reached from the airport. Complimentary breakfast is served in a handy box, and the front desk staff is known for their helpful attitude - perhaps why this location is so popular with European tourists.
