$120 Cheap flight deals from Topeka (MCI) to Novato (OAK)

This place is old, dated and small. Clean but smelled a little because of its age and use. We had prepaid for the one night stay but they insisted on charging our card a $150 deposit! I asked why. Just to make sure we didn’t trash our room. We are an elderly couple. We are not about to trash their room. They said don’t worry, “most people get back their deposit.” Haven’t checked my card yet but they better have returned the deposit. That’s what you get when you stay at small, local and unprofessional places.

Great restaurant, coffee shop, clean room, great outdoor amenities and great services-play pen was huge life saver! Friendly and professional staff!

Great location, friendly staff and the continental breakfast was just right to start our day.

We’ve stayed at the Westin St Francis multiple times over the years and always looked forward to returning. Unfortunately, this once grand old hotel is grand no more. The Powell street lobby entrance has been invaded by a huge bar/lounge that looks cool but doesn’t open until 4pm. It takes up a lot of prime real estate in the hotel and serves no real purpose for the better part of the day. To check into the hotel you now enter on Geary into an area that feels temporary, kind of like the vibe you get at an airport gate under construction. It’s just very disjointed. The fake cherry trees and fake flower wrapped columns in the lobby are tacky, and dusty. Two of my family members had sneezing fits while standing under the faux blooms. They chuckled about the paper flower pollen being particularly bad this time of year. The hotel has also done away with any lobby seating. Your only hope of seating is in the garden cafe, which makes it feel a bit like a Greyhound bus station. Some of the registration staff were better at their jobs than others, who seemed generally malcontent. We stayed in the Tower this trip; the best part was the amazing view from our room and the super fast glass elevators. Happily, the mattresses are wonderful. Our room was ok but could use a refresh. One family member found litter in his room. Thinking back on past stays, maybe the rooms were always a bit outdated but the majesty of the hotel overshadowed any shortcomings. Sadly, for us the magic is gone.

An absolutely wonderful stay and experience at the Spindrift. I can honestly say that I have a list of 2 hotels from all my travel experiences, that’s I’d return to on a regular basis because of the quality of the hotel and experience staying there. Spindrift is one of those places. Extremely clean and updated room with comfortable bedding and furniture. My husband frequently took naps on the window seating (often dozing off while people watching). The fireplace was a great feature in the evening with a glass of wine and charcuterie plate. Staff were attentive and friendly.
