Marines Memorial Club And Hot, San Francisco

.... and still lived in San Francisco (and not Oakland) I would send them to the Marines Memorial. My husband and I stayed there for two weekend nights, and the location just can't be beat. For tourists, the location is ideal for the theater area, Union Square, Market Street shopping, etc. Also, for night life, Harry Denton's Starlight Room is just down the street, and you're in good shape to hit up clubs in SOMA, the Marina, the Tenderloin, etc. The rooms, though smallish, are very comfortable, and well maintained. The free happy hour is great, and the food in the restaurant is quite good. You can eat upstairs and have drinks for a great evening-starter before going out and hitting the town. The complimentary breakfast is an actual breakfast, not just the run of the mill rolls and juice. We're talking eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes. Hearty food to start your day on. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and even the other guests maintained an atmosphere of kindness and politeness. Consider the Marines Memorial for your next stay in SF!

Stayed there for a wedding party. The room was on the small side but well appointed, and the bed was comfortable. Free happy hour in the afternoon, and excellent free breakfast buffet in the Sky Room (12th floor) every morning. Valet Parking $24/day with unlimited in/outs. Helpful staff. Everything works well.

I stayed here over a weekend for a wedding party, so we got to utilize quite a bit of the hotel. The rooms were sufficient, clean, and well-appointed, and they were kind enough to bring us a fold-away bed when the size room we reserved wasn't available. Their ballroom and facilities are spacious and the bar at the top of the building, overlooking the city, is a definite must-see.
