Lorra - First of all, the Embassy Suites in Burlingame does have a free shuttle to/from the airport.
However, I have to disappoint you that it does not have a view of SF (downtown San Francisco)....I would say more like a view of SFO (San Francisco Int'l Airport). In fact, none of the hotels in Burlingame nor South San Francisco has any view of the downtown area.
I would say it's a far cry from the spectacular view from Sausalito!! Just so you know...


Alan - Sorry I can't really answer your question since I didn't pay much attention to the pool/sauna area.
However, I do know the rooms on the top floor of HGI North have jacuzzis in it. I was upgraded once to the top floor...
