Fodor's Expert Review The Inn Above Tide

The balconies at the inn literally hang over the water, and each of its rooms has a "perfect 10" view that takes in wild Angel Island as well as the city lights across the bay. In the corner Vista Suite (one of the most expensive rooms), you can even see San Francisco twinkle from the king-size bed. Lovely touches—gardenias by the sink, large tubs, binoculars in every room, complimentary California wine and imported cheese—abound, and most rooms have wood-burning or gas fireplaces. Though set in the middle of town, this place is luxurious and tranquil.
