8/10 Very Good! (1,003 reviews)

Perfect spot to stay and be close to the boardwalk. You could hear the fun happening during park hours and when the park closed, it was quiet. Great place to stay. We will definitely come back.

Fabulous property and location. We would stay here again. They do allow pets in some areas and we happened to get a unit by a barky dog.

We saw two performances while we were in SF. During the first performance, we sat in the bench seating behind the orchestra called the "terrace" and this is a photo from the second tier seats. I highly recommend sitting in the terrace seats if you are not a stickler for acoustics. It is so fun to be able to watch the conductor's face and be so close to the musicians that you can follow along with their sheet music.
