Pros:

La vista

Cons:

La ubicación, hay que pagar peajes para ir al downtown de San Francisco y no tenía conocimiento, el desayuno es exactamente el mismo todos los días y tienen una forma rarísima de cobro

Für uns ein gutes Hotel mit extrem guten Zimmermädchen. Perfekt saubere Zimmer.
Pros:

Wir kennen das Hotel und mögen es sehr. Die Lage ist für unsere Bedürfnisse perfekt. Ansonsten ist die Lage vielleicht nicht so schön, da direkt an einer Schnellstraße gelegen - man hört den Verkehr

Cons:

Der Wasserdruck am Waschbecken und die so extrem laute alte Eismaschine im Flur… das ist wirklich störend

Comfortable stay in nice hotel.
Pros:

Room was spacious, with a good view, bed and shower both very good. Breakfast was nice.

Cons:

Room was probably right above the kitchen - so am awaken by smell of cooking bacon early in the morning.

If we find ourselves in the area, we would definitely stay at the Acqua again.
Pros:

We had a great stay at Acqua. The rooms were lovely and staff very friendly. The included breakfast was very good as well. We also loved taking the bikes out for a ride around the bay.

Cons:

All was good, nothing to not like.

Pros:

Magnifique hôtel !

La route située à proximité peut laisser perplexe à l’arrivée, mais une fois dans l’hôtel, face à la superbe vue sur l’eau, on l’oublie rapidement.

Situé à seulement 15 minutes de San Francisco, l’hôtel permet de quitter l’agitation de la ville pour retrouver l’atmosphère détendue de la Californie.

Notre chambre était spacieuse, moderne, propre et calme. Elle bénéficiait également d’une belle vue sur l’eau et d’une petite terrasse.

La dégustation de vins accompagnée de fruits, proposée en fin de journée, est très appréciable. Le petit-déjeuner est également à ne surtout pas manquer !

Profitez de votre séjour pour visiter Sausalito et le parc national de Muir Woods. Je recommande aussi de monter jusqu’à Battery Spencer au lever ou au coucher du soleil : la vue rapprochée sur le Golden Gate Bridge est exceptionnelle.

A hotel for sleep
Pros:

Certainly it is a good location although directly on 101. Nice breakfast and very good latte!

Cons:

It is not a $400 hotel! Sorry! The walkways to room are full and borderline cheap and tacky and our room which was all that was available was a misnamed suite only because it was a corner room which had a partial view of the water and the other of a rooftop. The bathroom was uselessly massive because of the corner room configuration and included nothing but what all the other rooms had- a little weird so do not get a corner suite room!
Nice hotel but some misses for sure- I was wishing we had stayed at the Holiday
Inn across from the Buckeye at a fraction of the cost and as nice.

Great place to stay just a few minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Pros:

There were a couple of included extras that made the stay better: evening wine and nibbles, cookies in the afternoon. We appreciated the included breakfast.

Cons:

A bit more variety in the breakfast offerings would be good
