SFO is a great layover and I will die on this hill. If you don’t like the hundreds of excellent restaurants within 8 blocks of the hotel you can get an Uber up to Marin County and go on any number of awesome hikes. Rent a bike and ride across the GGB then take the ferry back from Sausalito. Go check out The Presidio. Walk up to Chinatown. Go to a Giants game. Only drawback is that everything is a little more expensive and it’s a longish drive to the Westin.
Are there homeless people? Yes. Welcome to America. But the way people talk about SF you’d think you couldn’t walk outside the hotel without stepping on poo and having your Rolex and new balances stolen at knifepoint by gangs of methed up degenerates.
100% agree about SFO. I used to hate it, now I love it. I have learned not to go in that area SW of the hotel, but other than that, the crazies to normal ratio is pretty diluted with how many people are always out and about.
