Not bad. Departure time is very punctual. You should arrive early to choose a seat. It's quite windy at night. It's cold to have a meeting on the bridge, so be careful. Overall, it's not bad.

You can see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz from different angles~ But it's very windy, so please be sure to dress warmly and remember to wear sunglasses!

A great place to spend the whole day, the Academy of Sciences brings together astronomy, humanities, and botany/zoology sciences. There are also regular interactive events and explanations by the staff.

I was very satisfied with my stay at the Hyatt Place. The room was clean and tidy, spacious and comfortable, and the bed was very comfortable, allowing me to relax and unwind. The overall environment was very well maintained, making it a safe and comfortable place to stay. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and check-in and check-out were efficient. They were also patient in answering questions. The hotel has a great location in a safe neighborhood with convenient transportation, whether you are driving or taking public transport. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I would choose to stay here again next time, and I would recommend it to friends.

For first-time visitors to San Francisco, I recommend taking the hop-on hop-off bus. It offers detailed explanations, allowing you to learn more about San Francisco.

The San Francisco sightseeing pass is very convenient with a wide variety of options, and the price is more affordable than buying tickets on the spot, so it is highly recommended.

This trip is super high value for the price! The boat is luxurious and clean. It's a three-deck cruise ship, and the Golden Gate Bridge under the sunset looks very romantic.

The soundproofing seems weak as I could hear the TV from other rooms. The doors are loud, so be careful when opening and closing them. At check-in, a credit card registration is required for a deposit of $100/day. In addition to the accommodation fee paid at the time of booking, there are amenity fees, etc. (in San Francisco, this may be called a resort tax, and there are prices that need to be paid locally, so it is best to check with the hotel if you are unsure). The location is very convenient, but there is the Tenderloin district, which has a bad reputation, within a 1-minute walk, so when walking around, be careful with your belongings and be careful not to enter the Tenderloin district. I stayed for 5 days, but the room was not cleaned, and there were only 3 days' worth of towels, so I asked for 2 days' worth and received them.
