Normally Alila would win hands down, but I question whether I will get full value out of just 1 night's stay at the property. I would be leaving out of SFO at 4 PM, so I probably have to leave the property at 1 PM to be safe - not ideal. In contrast, I could leave Half Moon Bay prbably at 2 or even 2:30 PM,for a 4 PM flight. Anyone have thoughts here?
I don't think Alila NV wins hands down normally. Regardless, I'd pick HMB RC in your situation...don't forget about traffic heading north on a Fri afternoon.
