My husband and I decided we were overdue for a weekend alone, so we booked a getaway weekend at Wyndham's Hotel Canterbury in San Francisco. We left the kids with the grandparents on Friday night, got up early(ish) Saturday morning, and made the two-hour drive to the city. We are still fairly recent (2.5 years) transplants from San Diego to Northern California, so I won't pretend we have special local knowledge about the city. But we try to make a couple trips a year, and always get great recommendations from our friends, so we're starting to get more familiar with the city. We had an *amazing* dinner this trip at LihoLiho Yacht Club, a Hawaiian restaurant a block up the street from the hotel.
Parking at the hotel is expensive - about $40/day to valet your car. However, there are plenty of public parking garages within a couple blocks of the hotel. We dropped our bags at the hotel, and went to lunch at a seafood restaurant in the Fillmore district. We came back a couple hours later and checked in at 2pm. Check-in time is normally 4pm, but they had a room available for us.
The hotel is very nice! Here's pictures of the lobby, fitness room, and rec room (with free arcade games and billiards). There's also a nice media center (where I'm writing this post), with a couple free computers, DVDs for check-out, books left behind by other guests (thank you for the worn copy of "Treasure Mountain" by Louis L'Amour), and TV.

Lobby of Hotel Canterbury - nicely done!

We're staying in a nice 1BR suite. It's nicely updated and furnished, although the bed is a little small, and (unfortunately) our room is facing Sutter Street, so we heard lots of sirens last night. Still, we really like this property, and it's definitely somewhere we would stay again while visiting San Francisco. We'll probably stay at Club Donatello next time to compare the two properties. We don't currently have any listings for this site, but please contact me if you are interested in purchasing a timeshare at the Wyndham's Canterbury, and I will be happy to find one for you. Happy New Year's!
