choices, choices, choices.

cass house inn is terrific! The larger rooms offer tons of space and are very plush!
the inn exudes character and history. it's nothing like fs, phi or ritz hmb. being a central coast native and silicon valley transplant i love the ambiance and charm of cass house. wonderful people, wonderful food. will leave a lasting impression!

fs palo alto is a business hotel offering a convenient silicon valley location, fantastic service and delish food at Quattro. it is superb.

rosewood sand hill is the new game in town. quite a sprawling resort with a fabulous spa and gorgeous rooms! the location kills fs.

ritz half moon bay is beautiful, too. huge hotel situated on the cliffs of half moon bay. service lacking.

a secret, somewhat isolated 5 star experience in northern calif is cordevalle. tucked away in the hills of san martin this place is so quiet you can hear the 'ting' of a golf ball as it is hit. the rooms are huge, luxurious, private and secluded. invest in the villa which comes with a private yard and jacuzzi. i've not found anything that compares to the cordevalle experience.
