Accommodations: Courtyard by Marriot Union Square  - We stayed at the Marriot. It's a couple minute walk to Chabad. The guy at the front desk was familiar with Shabbos - we got a room on the second floor and he walked us to our room Friday night and Shabbos day. Keep in mind, it's pretty close to the Tenderloin area. When we landed at 1am, our...
