Beautiful Hotel, Great Location
You can never go wrong with an Embassy product!!! The manager's reception was a perfect way to wind down after a long day of driving the first day, and a great way to relax after spending the entire day sight seeing in San Fran! There is never anything wrong with free mixed drinks, beer and wine in the evening (think of what you would spend at the bar of a regular hotel for drinks)
For a family of 4 the breakfast is equall to a $40-50 bill at any Denny's, IHOP or similar. With that in mind we didn't mind paying just over $100/night for our nights stay.
The rooms are very nice - soft beautiful bedding. We traveled with 2 teenagers, so having the hide a bed in the second room was nice, for them to not have to share beds.
Beautiful atrium, ponds and plants. Traveling over the holidays meant lots of families with kids, and out of towners for the college bowl game. Kids were using the business center to check emails, myspace, etc, and we addressed it with the manager, and they quickly cleared the kids out of the business center, telling them they need to use the open area computers (for kids).
