San Francisco hotel choice
I posted earlier asking about this. I am now trying to choose between Hyatt Regency Embarcadero, Park Central Sheraton and Sir Francis Drake. I have looked at the transportation maps and think Park Central or Hyatt look best for public transport. I have read that cable cars are not the best way to go except for the experience. Which of these hotels have the best location? Thanks

Well everyone is for the Hyatt it seems. Sheraton park central is on third st FYI. Underhill what is the name of the restaurant? I have waited too long for reservations at Kokkari Stu. What about Slanted Door. I could get reservations there? Also is Johns Grill worth going to. Just wanted to go there for the falcon effect but not if food is not good. Any other restaurant suggestions? I am thinking the best ones are booked up since I will be going next week but I can try.
Thanks to all of you.

Tadich Grill, seafood restaurant est. 1849, walking distance from the Hyatt. Cioppino, petrale sole and sand dabs are usually the way to go there. Another old school Italian place is Original Joe's at their new location in North Beach. As you might guess I tend to favor long established places.

Got it - that hotel has been re-badged a number of times over the years. It's also in a very good location for walking and transportation (if you search for it on Google Maps, you can see where Muni and BART stops are in relation to the hotel). It's near a terrific park (Yerba Buena Gardens), and close to good restaurants and MOMA (also the convention center should that be of interest)

Just FYI
stayed at Hyatt Embarcadero. Nice room with bay view. Good location. Very expensive - tech convention in town. They even had a cruise ship in to accommodate some of them is what we were told.
Johns Grill very good. Scomas in Sausalito and wharf excellent. Slanted Door ok but food was "dry". Would not eat there again. Very loud too
