Maybe they let you drive it at the W Silicon Valley? At the Ws in NYC, I believe they drive you.

Maybe they do both....Acura Experience

Why not arrive in style with the Acura Experience, an exclusive Whatever/Whenever service. The new technologically advanced Acura RL is fully outfitted and ready to show you the town from a whole new perspective. Just dial the Concierge, reserve your complimentary ride and take out a world-class AWD Sedan fully stocked with W goodies for the ultimate Whatever/Whenever® service.

Restrictions apply. Must be 25 years or older and have valid US Driver’s License and Insurance. Please see on-site for details.

You do know this hotel is across the Bay, on the Oakland side of CA.

Watching CNBC - they are talking about the AA flyer with 31 million AAdvantage miles.

Yep, just found out it is totally in the boonies of the reclamation projects and wildlife refuge too, I am not booking it just yet, I may go for Hyatt instead.
I somewhat want one a bit away from SFO for the first few days, I am thinking to come back in closer on the 26th and 27th (I am leaving on the redeye the 27th)

Yeah. Personally, I'd never stay there if I was planning on being in San Francisco.

Plat (and now Diamond) is very good to me.

I am tying to stay in several places, and normally like W's but W's that are :rolleyes: not so much.

I really was liking it for free parking, several of the other SPG properties are $48/night, I'd even pay $12-15 a night, but $48....no thanks.

How far away from the City or airport do you want to be? Looking for anything in particular to be near?

I'd secure Diamond with the stays at Hyatt's, may just go that route. It looks like they may have improved the benefits of Diamond a bit to actually make that worth it.

I've always thought a few nights at the The Westin Verasa Napa followed by a few nights in San Francisco (Westin, SR, W, etc.) would make for a long weekend mixed with quiet relaxation and some city fun.

I will have a car, within 50 miles of SFO is fine, I plan on making some day, and night trips out and about, not looking for anything in particular, I'd like less than $140/night all in with parking and taxes that is my main concern, as I don't plan on being cooped in the hotel the entire time I see no need to spend more. And I am by myself, so not needing to share any special moments with someone ;)

Hyatt Vineyard Creek Hotel and Spa is coming in $100/night cheaper for a similar experience :D
