St Regis it is - thank you very much for all your recommendations, thoughts and input!

I’m not from SFO so others might have better insight. But when I’ve stayed there on my own points I found Le Meridien to be more than sufficient. Just make sure you have Lyft/Uber downloaded to take you around town.

Welcome to SF. My recommendation: St Regis, Palace Hotel, Westin St. Francis

St Regis is by far the best. But where are you staying on Monday? I would probably just stay is the same hotel so as to not have to move.

+1 on Westin St Francis... while not the best SPG property, it puts you right in the middle of everything

I think you can't go wrong with Palace or St. Regis

The Park Central is a good third choice

Westin is in a crappy area. st Regis is a great hotel. And great service. Palace second choice

St Regis or W

W rooms are tiny and it's not at all as luxurious as st Regis or palace. Hope you get the upgrade!

Points don’t matter - I have more than enough.
Great advice on the Uber!

Why use points if traveling for client work?

Client work will start Monday, but will use the opportunity to spend already the weekend there. There is no business need for me to be in the US Saturday/Sunday. Would be sufficient to arrive on Monday...

Will travel to Dublin on Monday, so def don’t want to stay there over the weekend 🙈

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
