A few questions, based on these two posts from several months ago...

Any recommendations on which side of the building to request, whether we'd be likely to get any refurbished rooms, any other matters to ask about?

The opposite side of the hotel is really best, facing the bay. Another side of the hotel faces Drumm Street, also an undesirable location, but not as bad as the rooms facing Market Street and the cable car.
My wife and I are finally getting around to staying at the HRSF this weekend. Let me see if I have it right about good options, based on JIMCHI's good advice and other useful posts in this thread:
1. We should request a bay view room in advance and upon check-in.
2. Do all bay view rooms have balconies?
3. If not, any idea of what the upcharge might be for a room with a balcony?
4. The Regency Club upgrade is nice, if we feel like shelling out the extra $75/night and if it's available.
5. BUT we only want the Regency Club upgrade if we get a bay view room, in that the other rooms might be subject to loud street noise.
6. If a bay view room is not available, any other side to request that won't subject us to that street noise?
Do I have all this right? Any other advice?
Thanks for any help.
