"Room was very clean. Very comfortable bed. Staff was helpful with providing dinner recommendation. However, we weren't that impressed with the local restaurants we visited. The coffee shop in the hotel was really great. They have a nice little library. I enjoyed a wonderful book from it. The hotel is close to the bay, and a wonderful walking path. Trolly outfront takes you directly to the Aquarium. Parking easy, but $15, much less than San Francisco parking"
