Inside the Hotel Frank in San Francisco

Where: 386 Geary Street [map], San Francisco, CA, United States, 94102

This past weekend we hit up San Francisco for the 98th Annual Bay to Breakers Race, probably one of the craziest, coolest races we've ever "run." Actually, we just tagged along with a couple thousand unregistered partyers who followed the race route in costumes and dragging beer in kegs and cases behind them. Needless to say, after all this madness we needed a hotel room for the night.

We can't quite remember how we found the Hotel Frank but we think it was probably spotted first on Expedia. The hotel room pictures made the rooms look all shiny and new, leading us to think a new hotel opened in SF's Union Square 'hood. Then we remembered: the old Hotel Maxwell on Geary was acquired by Personality Hotels a while back and the Thomas Schoos-designed renovations were finally completed last Fall.

We ended up springing for a junior suite room on the 10th floor (via Quikbook.com) for about $190 a night and we have to say this might be one of our favorite hotel rooms that we've stayed in all year. Here's a quick video tour and tomorrow we'll hit you with the full review.
