Directions to The Willows Inn

With a subway station just across the street, along with a street car stop and several bus lines, The Willows Inn could not be more conveniently located. When you reserve a room with us, we’ll send you a confirmation by email. In the confirmation we’ll include information about the airport shuttle, which will bring you right to our door. In addition, taxi service and the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) also serve both San Francisco International and the Oakland airports.

Transportation from San Francisco Airport

Door to Door Airport Shuttle
There are several companies offering door to door shuttle service. We recommend Lorrie’s or SuperShuttle offering shared rides into San Francisco. The fare is approximately $17 per person. Follow the signs to the upper level at the outer pedestrian median.

Bay Area Rapid Transit(BART)
Follow signs in your arrival terminal to locate the AirTrain Station, then take the AirTrain to the SFO BART station. After buying your ticket from a BART ticket machine, board a San Francisco bound train and detrain at the San Francisco Civic Center Station. Exit through the BART turnstiles and enter the MUNI (San Francisco MUNIcipal Railway) turnstiles. (BART and MUNI booths look almost identical but are two entirely different systems.) Board an outbound K, L, M or T MUNI train and exit at the Church Street Station, just two stops away. Take the escalator to the street level. The Willows Inn is just around the corner from the MUNI Church Street Station at the intersection of Church, Market and 14th Streets (14th Street is just behind the Home restaurant). BART fare will be $8.95 and the MUNI ride will cost $2.75.

Taxicabs
Taxicabs are located at the lower level (baggage claim level) at the outer pedestrian median. Metered rates apply to all destinations. The approximate fare to the Willows Inn is $40. Approach the supervisor coordinating taxi departures to request a San Francisco based cab.

Transportation from Oakland Airport

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
Board the AirBART van shuttle at the Oakland Airport, which will take you to the Coliseum BART Station. At the station buy your ticket from a BART ticket machine, board a San Francisco bound train and detrain at the San Francisco Embarcadero Station. Exit through the BART turnstiles and walk across the platform to the MUNI (San Francisco MUNIcipal Railway) turnstiles. (BART and MUNI booths look almost identical but are two entirely different systems.) Board an outbound K, L, M or T MUNI train and exit at the Church Street Station. Take the escalator to the street level.
