We enjoyed our stay at the Serrano Hotel while we were in San Francisco, it was in a great location, not far from Union Square, allowing us to walk everywhere we needed to go. The staff was very nice, the room was clean, the free continental breakfast at the restaurant next door was good, the Wi-Fi was free, and they upgraded us to a king size bed for free too. We can't speak for the price since it was sort of free to us - we used some United Miles on it. Apparently, the previous occupant of our hotel room on the 16th floor loved the room and location so much that he didn't want to leave.
Wicked was very enjoyable and we both highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. We did sit in the cheap seats, but still had a great view of the stage as well as a prime location by the women's restrooms (Aimee only had to wait behind two people to get in and walked by a line of 20+ leaving). From the probably inebriated woman who wandered in front of traffic to the incomprehensible babblings of toothless grinners and 7-10 police vehicles that passed us, the 13 minute walk back to the hotel at 11pm felt adventurous. We'd probably find a ride if we were to make that trip again that late at night.
Thanks to Steve and Emily for watching Gage, especially while he was barfing all over the place.
