Don't stay at the Sheraton at Fisherman's Wharf, it's completely overrun by tourists. If you're trying not to spend as many points, your best bet is converting to Marriott points

also OP I highly highly recommend the SF Marriott marquis. It looks like it's about the same rate on points as the Sheraton Fishermans Wharf, but it's really great - better location, rooftop bar with very nice views, massive gym, and M Club Lounge

Depends on what's going on in the city they week

Also check Marriotts.

Unless I'm traveling to a small city, I'm usually prepared to use ~15-20K SPG points/night for a nice hotel

Got it. Thanks guys :)

Is the Sheraton at fisherman’s wharf terrible or something? Only 12K points

@D2 why’s that?

Good Morning. Here's my dilemma. I have an approved H1B application which got picked up in 2019-20 lot and approved in Jan 2020, before the world went into lockdown. The stamping process was initiated but it couldn't complete as the USCIS offices were shutdown die to the pandemic. I have watched patiently about all the regulations Trump Administration brought in to deny any entry to H1B applicants who weren't already working in the states or who were waiting to return.
