We were upgraded to a nice bay view room. The restaurant is not open for dinner, however, there is a sports bar in the hotel for dinner and drinks. Average fitness room and pool. There is a nice Chart House restaurant on Cannery row with a great view. Also, an El Torito on Canery Row with a great happy hour and terrific view as well.
This is accurate. I went 4 months back and had the exact same info to supply. Without even requesting an upgrade, they put us in the Presidential Suite (not sure of the exact name) because of our anniversary, it had a HUGE balcony that overlooks the bay. The breakfast buffet is actually pretty good with a fairly large selection, you get what all other guests get for paying, except it's free for elites. The location is pretty good too, you can find many restaurants nearby.
