Pacific Heights

If you were a tech billionaire looking for a place to live in San Francisco, you’d probably be browsing the Pacific Heights area.

This affluent enclave offers sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and the Palace of Fine Arts. Shop ‘til you drop down Fillmore Street, where boutique shops line both sides of the street. And to prove to your mates back home that you actually visited this area, snap a selfie from the top of the Lyon Street Steps.

There was noise from both other rooms and hotel personal working at the corridors. Also, waiting at Laurel Court as a hotel restaurant because of a lot of people visiting the hotel really doesn’t make sense. Room TV is small and very old for long stays. Thank you.
