Sheraton-Palo Alto – California
Great location, clean but dated rooms, nice outdoor area. Right near Stanford University. Nice concierge floor breakfast buffet.

Sir Francis Drake – San Francisco, California
Downtown location. Hotel décor is a bit over the top. Lots of black and red. Rooms aren’t impressive. They have a doorman dressed up, possibly as Sir Frances Drake?

Marriott-Monterey – California
Average Marriott, close to Fisherman’s Wharf. Food isn’t great. Clean rooms.

Scala’s Bistro – San Francisco, California
Good food, fine service, nice build-out, convenient location.

Sheraton-Petaluma – California
Newer but not fancy hotel. Has coin-operated laundry. Gorgeous area, it’s like Tuscany in the USA. Downtown Petaluma has great restaurants.

Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes. I went there for the pancakes and they were great.
