Only one? How many homeless people and dead bodies? Tattoo parlors?

Where ever you stay, be sure to go to see Beach Blanket Babylon...it is hilarious!

Well...I am going to throw my hat into this by saying I think the Hyatt Regency on the Embaracdero is a great hotel and a great location. Icee is the queen of priceline, but I think is can be had as a 4 star. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the Ferry Building and the Bay. Really nice. It is a large concrete monolith that is the antithesis of a boutique place like the Monaco, but I like it.
