Very nice breakfast. At (my) bedtime somebody upstairs from us was stomping around. I mentioned it in the earlier review and it stopped! Thanks!

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay
Well I was really disappointed to find out after getting there despite my pictures online showing I would get a balcony to find out it’s a $50 upgrade. The hot tub is currently broken and the pool wasn’t properly cleaned when we got there it was a bit dirty

Grand Hyatt at SFO
Ours was a brief overnight stay, but we would love to do it again with more time to enjoy this posh experience. Wonderfully comfortable beds and Balmain bath amenities. The only negative: the room temp was too cool. I should’ve turned it up!!
