The short story is that the W San Francisco is great. I just got back from a four night stay during the Semicon Show - one of the biggest trade shows at Mascone each year.

I was upgraded to a "Groovy Corner" room on the 31st floor – BTW, the hotels was sold out. However, since I had my teen daughter with me - and a rollaway does not cut it - I took a two double room on the 29th floor. I asked them to put my boss in the upgraded room, which they did. The front desk lady was great. She took the time to look and offer me several room types. When I saw they had Bliss products I told her that I liked them - she sent a couple extra packages of them to my room -they cost $20 per pack on the Bliss website.

I entertained 10 people for diner at the XYZ restaurant. The food was very good - for that matter the room service and bar food was great as well. Having now stayed at all the *Wood hotels in San Fran, IMHO, the W is a cut above the others. Two thumbs up from me. ^ ^
