So far: yes! It's a great hotel, and very quirky This one has a very funky decorative style. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and I really don't have any complaints (well, aside from the shower - I don't like the showerhead and the temperature knob shifts about five degrees F every millimeter I move it). Some might find the room small, but I don't mind it. We ended up with a corner room overlooking Bush and Grant, and two of our windows look directly across at the Chinatown gate, so I think we ended up with a pretty good spot. I think with taxes it ended up at around $205 per night.

I think my wife would be happy to do lunch with some other folks (or dinner, or whatever) one of the days this week. Sorry for the short notice, but its been a hectic trip already. My wife was sick for the week running up to the trip and is just now getting over it. I was unlucky enough to catch it the very night before we got up at 3am to go to the airport and travel for about 11-12 hours. Fortunately I recover much faster than her, and despite already putting about 20 miles on my Fitbit, I'm at about 95% now! Woohoo!

So again, sorry for the short notice, but is anyone up for a mini-meetup?

Also, if you haven't seen my thread in the general forum, I could also use a little help.

*edit*
oh yeah, and I kind of need help on one more thing. I seem to have lost the 802.11n USB adapter I was using in my laptop to transfer photos from my camera with the Eye-Fi. Does anyone know where in my area of SF I might be able to buy another one?
