So, I'll be staying in a SF hotel for the first time ever next week… I'm moving out and renting out my apt. Trying to decide where to stay… damn SF is overpriced.
I've narrowed it down to here vs. the Grand Hyatt. Both locations are fine, with the GH being slightly more convenient. How do the rooms and the breakfast offerings compare?

If you were trying to save money on food, you could easily get all your meals at the hotel without paying (full breakfast and dinner at the lounge, and a snack for lunch at the bar with your credit).

Are you not considering the HR? the hotel is nothing special (just a regular HR) but the lounge is great -- some of the best lounge food I've had at a US-based Hyatt. Nice view, too. Also, their "cocktail hour" features basically a full dinner buffet, and the destination fee (waived as globalist) gets you some daily credit at the bar or restaurant (even if it's waived for you)

Unfortunately the GH and the HP are the two SF Hyatts that I haven't stayed at, so I can't comment from experience.
I'd be very surprised if the food at the GH was not better than the HP. It's a higher end brand and I've heard good things about that property. But, sorry, I have nothing first-hand to offer.

Food in the lounge is better at the GH than standard HP breakfast, but not at the level I would call "great". Very crowded. Staff is helpful but overworked during peak hours. However the view from the lounge is superb. Haven't been to the SF HP but HP breakfast is pretty standardized.

Anyone stay here yet?
Looking like the best option for a work trip even though not my usual chain (Hilton and Marriott properties are way out of policy but Hyatt Place is still within reason)

Stayed here multiple times. Good location and rooms. Didn't eat the breakfast but no complaints whatsoever.

It looks like they're opening a new rooftop restaurant and bar in the next few weeks: https://sf.eater.com/2021/12/13/2283...-san-francisco

Stayed last weekend.
No real globalist upgrade. They assigned me to the 8th floor. I would have liked a room on the top few floors with full width windows and better views. Or a corner room.
The room was fine. A typical Hyatt Place room. In relatively good condition.
I went to the rooftop. Reservations apparently book weeks in advance but we got there early enough to be put on the standby list and got a table. The cocktails were fun and the food was good. But it was cold and windy up there even while the sun was out. They say they close the rooftop when the winds hit 30mph.
Breakfast was the typical Hyatt Place buffet breakfast. They did have a nice outdoor area to eat at.

I'm curious on thoughts about staying here versus other properties like the HR SOMA (and any others).
I'll be in town for 24 hours for basketball at Chase. I've been to SF a few times so interested to wander around but no particular must dos. I'll be using points and all properties in the area are 20k per night. I don't have Hyatt status.
I'm leaning towards SOMA but this property is closer to Chase.
