Update to this post from last week:

Ton of great advice from everyone in the original post. I was mainly looking for a change of scenery as parents of young children know how nice it is to be in a new place away from your day to day chores.

A lot of the advice seemed to point to getting a regular hotel or Watercourse way in Palo Alto.

So with the wife’s input we got a room at a 5-star hotel in SF. Didn’t want to be away for the night but were able to have a lunch date (and bang ‼️) and then go home to the kids. Woke up and went back to the hotel, had a breakfast date (and bang ❗️ again).

Thanks again for the tips, it felt nice to sneak away from the family and feel like young people again. And for everyone concerned - yes we do bang at home when the kids are asleep too. It’s just nice to get away from them sometimes :)

Are there any you've been to that have great ratings, but don't seem to be worth it when you went to them?

EDIT: we will all agree that Blank Street and Starbucks belong on this list

Hello! I've been living in San Francisco for a few years. I'm visiting places outside of SF and I realized that we don't have a Wal-Mart! What other places do you miss when you moved into the city? I personally miss Wendy's, although it saves me a lot of money not eating there.

When walking on the sidewalk I’ll randomly be hit with a very distinct noxious odor. There’s nothing and no one around. I know what poop smells like and it’s not that unless shit just smells different after sitting out for a while.
