I was told that Monday through Thursday are busy for them and the weekends are more relaxed. It’s a great option for a quick getaway or people visiting the area for work or leisure. They will be undergoing a renovation starting next year, but it will be in phases. 

Dining options include in-room dining as well as a restaurant onsite called Quattro. It is Italian/Californian inspired cuisine with world renowned wines and a charming outdoor terrace. They age their meat in house and the wine list is a great one with plenty of choices from old to new world. The adjoining Quattro Bar serves hand-crafted cocktails and small plates. [esc], the Hotel's newest culinary addition, is often referred to as the Hotel’s “gathering place” featuring craft coffee and quick bites throughout the day transforming into an elegant wine bar at night.

Overall this is a great property and on par with the Four Seasons brand and level of service they provide. The location is highly desirable with access to all of the bay area in close proximity.
