@ Dan — Perhaps I could have done better, but I really wanted to try out this hotel so I figured it was worth it. $40 is quite a bit, but a reasonable value for breakfast for two, a welcome gift, late checkout, and a room upgrade.

@ Ryan — Haha, it sure does. There’s only so many direct turns I can do before I go crazy. So I figured I might as well have a bit of fun with it.

@ Ace — The W San Francisco. I just didn’t feel all that comfortable there…. I might give them another try eventually, but I’m just not “hip.”

@ TonySCV — I think you’re right in general, but there’s so also a lot of value to me with staying at my preferred brand. For example, as a Royal Ambassador I get GUARANTEED 8AM check-in (*huge* benefit when arriving in Europe) and 4PM check-out, and usually a suite upgrade, free internet, club access, etc. All those benefits save me a lot of money. As you know I’m also a miles/points whore, which is a disease I can’t fight….

@ Oliver — I arrived late at night so wasn’t going to complain. Again, the room was fantastic, so I was very happy….

@ FBKSan — I absolutely would, and I wasn’t expecting a suite. When I checked in I was assigned the room thinking it was maybe a room with a view, but I had no clue it was going to be a suite. But I agree with you and would definitely ask for a more “normal” room in the future for review purposes.

@ Gary — Those ARE full sized bottles but it appears to me that they refill them after each stay.

@ gobluetwo — ROFL!

Great trip report, Lucky, thanks. My folks live in Seattle, so I’ll have to check out this hotel some time. Have not stayed in the W Seattle, but have heard good and bad about that property. My experiences at Ws in general have been pretty positive, I’d give them a B, B+, so I would be interested in which W property gives you such negative vibes/comments.

I’ve only been in 2 W’s – Chicago and New York – and both with rife with attitude and, according to colleagues, women of negotiable affection, let’s call it…

W Seattle was pretty good but has gotten pretty dated. Not as bad as W San Diego (I wouldn’t want to stay there, other than in the Extreme Wow suite I had in June). But there are some really stellar W properties, Hong Kong and Seoul come to mind. No attitude either.

But back to this post. Question — the bath amentieis — are those full sized bottles? More importantly, are they not removable? That is, does the hotel just re-fill the existing bottles for each guest?? Or am I misreading the photo? Love full-sized bath amenities, but not ones that I share with other guests! (Props to W Hong kong for this, also the Phoenician.)

Assuming you got the suite through your contact with the hotel, in the future would you consider doing a mini-report on a ‘standard’ room at hotels like this, where you stay in an above-average room? (Some simple picks of a low-end room would suffice.) I’d be reluctant to stay at this hotel based on your report because (a) I have no idea what the room I’d actually get looks like and (b) I don’t know what rate I’d pay for the room you stayed in. (The only room listed as a “suite” on the hotel web site goes for $279 for a weekend night in February.)

But lucky, there was a HI on point breaks! ::gasp::

Sounds like a great stay and worth the money–thanks for the report.

Why didn’t you call the reception and ask for a room with a view?

Re public transportation in San Francisco, not sure what Muni charges for intrra-city trips,, but Samtrans KX express bus from SFO to SF should be $4.50. I pay $1.75 to SFO from the peninsula. Can’t beat that.
