Great Location
I was torn about whether to stay close to Union Square "action" or close to the waterfront for gorgeous views. The Hyatt Embarcadero was the best of both worlds. A 10-minute walk or one BART ride away from Union Square but right across from the ferry terminal and all that the Embarcadero water front has to offer. We upgraded for a nominal fee to a bay view room - while the windows are panoramic the view was still gorgeous. I was put off initially by other reviews that said the hotel was outdated. Our room was classic Hyatt - nice, clean and comfortable in a typical large Hyatt hotel with John Portman-designed atrium - 70s yes but again very nicely appointed. Rooms also had small fridge which was nice to store snacks for my two teenage boys. Very pleasant staff. Would definitely recommend.
