November 9 2007: Love this all suites W Hotel, everything you would expect from a W but also with lots of room and kitchenettes. Fabulous pool area. We stay here a lot when we return home to the Bay Area. I have stayed here for as long as a week and have been very comfortable with both kids. Frequented by business travelers, so the hotel and pool is empty during the day. The hotel is also in a great Bay Area location to help avoid traffic. It's a quick ride over the Dumbarton Bridge to Palo Alto, etc. The staff was super helpful with the kids. There is a ton of good Asian food in the area. The nearby Don Edwards Wildlife Preserve is fabulous for a run, watch out for the mean geese.
