The Olympic Club in San Francisco
 

I'm going to be in San Francisco for a vacation next month for 5 days and was wondering if any of you have been to the Olympic Club. A good friend of mine here is a life long member and said they have a hotel with about 15 rooms for friends of members, and he suggested we stay there on the premises. I could not really find any information or reviews about it (or pictures of the rooms). I figure I would have good luck finding somewhere here who is either a member or have experience with it. :D

I'm not going to be golfing on this trip, but I think the facilities look great for some swimming and tennis. I am just trying to decide if I should look somewhere else where I am more confident on the product I'll get since there are some great hotels in the area. Any comments/suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

swimming??? no.. it's freaking cold by Lake Merced and there is nothing going on there. Stay somewhere else.

You're going to the Olympic Club for swimming or tennis? That's like going to a strip club for music appreciation.
