Great location
My recent stay at Le Meridien was an excellent one. The location is fantastic, very close to the Embarcadero, and one must visit the Ferry Terminal. Close to the Ferry Terminal, local artisans offer various products, such as necklaces and portraits at reasonable costs. The hotel is located to numberous choices of restaurants at all budgetary options, and it is close to California drive, where you can ride the trolleys. Great area to exercise as the steep hills of California drive is an excellent workout. The staff is friendly, and the room overlooked the bay with awesome views. My only negative is that gold spg members supposedly do not receive free internet as an option, since apparently only reserved for platinum members.
