Staff was the best! They were so accommodating when we added an extra day.
Pros:

Breakfast was great each day. Wasn’t crazy about the eggs though. No sure if they were real. Bacon was my favorite! Happy hour with wine and snacks was not expected, but so enjoyable.

Cons:

Not much at all. We wer extremely happy with everything.

Great location, breakfast, fresh baked cookies and wine and cheese included
Pros:

Property location is perfect, close to San Francisco and Muir Woods.

Cons:

I wish we would have booked a room with a better view, we got bunch of tree brunches as our views. We asked if there were any upgrades, but unfortunately the hotel was booked for the days we were staying.

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.

Pros:

Very clean waterview rooms. Great breakfast buffet.

The rooms aren’t cheap, but that’s the reality of the bay area.
