N.A.A. Inn Is N. A. A. Inn Has Plenty · of Room for Visitors
Haven For • • •
Navy Families
Families of Navy men and
women who come from other parts
of the country for short visits
sometimes of emergency nature,
often find it impossible to find ·hotel
accomodations. When these wives
and mothers are accompanied by
small children the problem is even
more serious.
'---' The Naval Aid Auxiliary Inn is
offering a life-line to service men by
placing at the disposal of their
families a hotel with sleeping ac-
comodations for fifty-eight adults
as well as several baby cribs. Other
features are sunny dormitori-3s,
playrooms and toys for small chil-
'--- dren, comfortable lounges, a large
dining-room, a fenced-in back yard
providing additional play space and
one of the best views of the Pacific
ocean to be found anywhere in San
Francisco.
The Inn is located at 1798 Great \ ' .... "
Highway, San Francisco, and may
be reached by walking four blocks
south from the end of the N car- II B D I
line. Charges are made at the rate
of seventy-five cents a night per
person, and meals may be had
from the Inn dining-room at the
moderate price of thirty cents for
breakfast and luncheon and sixty-
five cents for dinner.
'--- The hostess may be reached by
calling MOntr0se 10176, and will be
. glad to make reservations and
furnish additional details.
