“City with a view?”
This hotel has so much potential to be a top notch hotel to stay in when visiting such a beautiful city with breath taking views and fabulous restaurants, along with quaint coffee shops and cafes. The furniture is nice, the deluxe rooms with a view are gorgeous and the deck outside would be great to sit in fall or spring when the weather is nicer. If possible, I would bring it to owners attention that improvements do need to be made such as when your luggage goes to your room, the person should check to make sure the heater/air conditioner works, everything is functional, etc., televisions should be upgraded to a mounted wall wide screen since old ones don't all work well, number to front desk isn't indicated - luckily we all pressed 0 for the front desk; however, this may not be familiar with some travelers. The thought of having water in a container in the lobby is nice but I think people would prefer a nice chilled bottle of water. The front desk personnel should be reminded that personal phone calls should not be made in front of customers. Piped music in lobby/front desk would enhance the atmosphere.
Area recommendations
Tiberon and Sausalito. Both cities are quaint and have fine shopping, fine dining, and I love the coffee and cafe shops. Both cities are easily accessible to San Francisco in a little amount of time and there doesn't seem to be as much tourism as in San Francisco. Best of all, both cities are so romantic.
When to go
Best is in the fall or spring.
What to pack
Clothes that you can layer so you are covered for any type of weather is a must.
Dining
Check the internet for the most popular restaurants in both Tiberon and Sausalito and it will lead you to the ones that are mouth watering with spectacular views of San Francisco.
