There is a paper towel dispenser, but no 'save the environment' hand-blower to dry the hands.

We have been meaning to go to the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center for a while. We stopped by on…read moreour way back from Sausalito. It was really busy and there isn't a ton of parking. Luckily, people were coming and going constantly. So we were able to get a parking spot right by the welcome center. Once you park you have to pay for how long you intend to park there. We thought we would need only 45 minutes, which worked out perfectly. It was a little over $3 for 45 minutes. The welcome center is big inside and offers information about the bridge's history, science, and engineering through displays, photo's and videos. They sell tons of souvenirs all related to the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. I found a nice navy blue zip-up hoodie that I bought for myself. Checkout was fast and easy and all the employees were very nice and helpful. You can get a lot of nice photos, outside, of the Golden Gate Bridge. We took a few selfies. There is a coffee shop called the round house cafe across from the welcome center that sells coffee, beverages and food. There are also public restrooms available there. It was a beautiful day to be out there. The view of the bridge was so clear and beautiful.

It is sort of Midtown, I think of it has the Haight area. They have a killer Italian eatery downstairs. You want to try that. It is within walking distance to the Golden Gate Park and great shops and food. The rooms are so pretty and they are spotless. The beds are great and the rooms are not huge, but you won't care. I don't think they have AC. I did not need it, we had a fan, but I would ask about it in the summer months. It has everything you need and the staff is wonderful. They will guide you to where ever you want to go. There is so much to do right around there. The prices are fair. I loved the little seating area we had with great Victorian chairs.

I go in to get lottos usually, and he is the only person I know that would ask for my birth date each time (before he would actually ask for my driver's license to prove my age).

The Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915 was a year-long party San Francisco threw to…read morecelebrate the completion of the Panama Canal, and to prove to the world that, after the Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906, San Francisco was back. The Clift was built in anticipation of the influx of visitors who would surely need someplace to stay. After more than a century, this grande dame is still welcoming guests with style and grace. Though the lobby is more contemporary, once you get upstairs, you can still feel what it must have been like once upon a time. You'll find the staff friendly and helpful, and you can't beat the location: in the same block as The Curran Theatre and ACT's Toni Rembe Theater (f.k.a. the Geary), and just a short walk from Union Square. If the play's the thing, the Clift is the hotel. If you're looking for up-to-the-minute everything, look elsewhere. You'll find electrical outlets and USB ports near the bedside, and the bathrooms are updated. I found the bedding comfortable. But the charm of the Clift is the way it transports you to an earlier time. Artwork in the halls and rooms recalls the 1915 World's Fair. The Redwood Room off the lobby (see my separate review) offers an Art Deco escape from 21st century madness. Federicks, their breakfast salon, is also pretty good (see my separate review). Caveat: Not all rooms have a desk space where you could sit and open a laptop to work. If you need this, be sure to say so when booking and at check-in. Room rates are dynamic, but when I've done a weekend staycation here, they are usually a bit less than what you might pay at another first-class hotel in the Union Square area. The Clift is part of The Hotel Collection by American Express, so if you book through the AmEx Travel Portal, there are some extra perks, especially if you are an AmEx Platinum cardmember. History, charm, a prime location, an attentive staff, one of the best spots for a cocktail (or a mocktail) ... what more do you want from a hotel?

My room was the corner king and is in the same tier as a Hyatt place in terms of the layout and feel. The bed was comfortable, but the acoustics are terrible.

Breakfast is not included, and the dining options within the hotel are limited.

The entire staff from the doorman, the front desk, housekeeping, and anyone we encountered was polite, professional, and warm. The hotel is charming with lots of beautiful architecture. We learned it used to be a bank. The Omni was spotless and located in a safe area. The Omni is a short walk to Chinatown and a 15-20 minute walk to North Beach where you can dine on some excellent fine Italian food. If you want to get crazy, which we did, it was about a 25-30 minute walk to Fisherman's Wharf. Remember the hills! Our room was clean, well stocked by housekeeping, and everything worked to perfection. If you want a microwave or a refrigerator, that would be an extra charge. There is a cozy bar if you want to decompress after work or a long day of touring around. The Omni was not cheap but worth every penny of it. Again, the entire staff was absolutely fantastic, friendly, and happy. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Just before midnight we insisted on being moved to another room which resulted in a downgrade from the room we were in. This was a last-resort decision for us and of course, a major hassle. I asked for a courtesy discount and was told I'd be contacted by a manager. That didn't happen. This hotel is MUCH larger than how it's represented on their website. The rooms are nice, but not at the level of the (very high) room price ($685/nt). It's obviously located in a family-friendly tourist zone, so there is a lot of hustle and bustle in the public areas of the hotel, and unfortunately you can't count on peace and quiet on the guest floors. I can't understand why anyone would pay this price for such a "throw the dice" experience. Never again. We stayed here because we were heading up to Sonoma the following morning and wanted easy access to the GGB. And it felt novel to spend one night on the wharf. We were lucky to have flawless weather and Maritime Park (plus views) was spectacular the next morning. And a stroll around the neighborhood offered an entirely different perspective on the SF I know. Lots of cute little breakfast places nearby too. Most people know this, but in case you don't, Fisherman's Wharf has a Bourbon Street vibe, and that's great if that's your thing.

To be honest it's hard sometimes for me to remember a time when I excitedly plunged myself into an epic adventure with 27 strangers - on one very special bus. Nowadays - I'd pack way too much: my special pillow, my favorite travel blanket, art supplies, Tylenol PM, too many clothes and 'just incases' crammed beside an excessive amount of toiletries. But back then - I was different. I craved the freedom of not knowing what to expect. I don't remember wearing any makeup. Donned my favorite worn jeans, a Grateful Dead hat, and my puffy red coat - the whole time. And I didn't miss a thing. I didn't want for anything. The food was delicious and perfect. The company was friendly and warm. The music was lulling and inspiring. The sights were breathtaking. The bus was comfortable and cozy. And our gentle hearted leader and driver - Jimmy - guided us with humility and quick witted humor - into the desert and beyond. I miss those days of letting go - and letting the bus just take you there. Trust.
