We stayed here for the last two nights of our road trip around California, Our hotel room wasn't in the main block but in another block across the road from the reception - trying to park the car was even better in the tight car park they had under the hotel.
We had some walk with our cases to get there and felt a bit uneasy as it was right opposite Fishermans Wharf.
Fishermans Wharf is fine except for the touts on the streets spoil it - be warned they do hound you as we found on our first trip out and ended up $15 down.
We didn't find the staff very friendly either, especially as Virgin give you a free voucher for a drink & cookie but we felt as though we were asking for the world the way the staff looked at us - and they didn't have any cookies left!
The rooms were fine nothing special and if I had known I would have chosen a better hotel.
Be warned if you want to go and visit Alkatraz get your tickets well in advance as we spent a whole day queuing to get them and its a long day...and only just managed it in the end.
The trams are great and only round the corner, they take you right into town. We got to see most sights on the tram which was cool.
The golden gate bridge was quite a drive out but well worth it.
Also the block we were in had a virgin office next to it which we thought woud be helpful - NOT!!! they just weren't interested (a complete waste of time I don't know why they are there???)
