Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed on the lower level and a patio with chairs looking at the water. The room was spacious and clean. The hot water was fantastic, with plenty of pressure. The breakfast in the morning was extensive, cereal, oatmeal, fruit, veggie frittata, scramled eggs, bacon, sausage, and Belgian waffle maker! There is also a bar where you can ask for your favorite coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, or Latte, to be made on site! Our favorite amenity were the bikes available to use! There is a bike path behind the Acqua that you can take to Sausalito(3.5 miles) and if you want more of an adventure, follow to and over the Golden Gate Bridge to Downtown San Francisco! There's a wonderful activity trail that goes along Crissey Field all the way to Embarcadero. After exploring San Francisco, catch a Ferry back to Sausalito and take in the views!

This might top the list of favorite hotels! The staff truly goes above and beyond to welcome you and make you feel special! The breakfast, the specialty coffee bar, the happy hour, the cookies, the view, the comfy beds, the free bikes, etc...

I am so pleased to be able to say that I enjoyed every single aspect of my stay. Staff was kind, easy going, efficient, informative and friendly. My junior sweet was quaint, sparkling clean, perfect, honestly. I very much appreciate that ownership keeps the rooms fresh and modern. Upgrades are incredibly expensive, but they appear to have been mindful and it shows. My balcony was nice and large, overlooking the water. Fresh air, a large glass of wine and some snacks, and life was feeling pretty amazing!
