My room at the Westin St. Francis was pleasant, if a bit stuffy. There was a chandelier above the bed! I don't know if I've ever stayed in a room with a chandelier before. The southern view wasn't anything special. I believe the hill in the background is Potrero Hill.
The sign on the "refreshment center" was a first for me. Not that I've ever paid for it, but I understand how the captive market of a tired hotel guest lets them get away with huge price mark-ups on pretzels and soda. But to threaten a guest should they so much as open the door and move a soda? That's not hospitality. Wouldn't they make a lot more money if they just charged every guest an extra dollar a night and not worry about someone removing a soda so they can put a yogurt in the fridge?
Oh, man, writing that last sentence it occurs to me that I forgot to have a little crock of the awesome Saint Benoît yogurt on this trip. Maybe next time!
Joe where are you now??
