8. We took advantage of Le Meridien's many nice amenities, including: bathrobe and bathroom scale in the room; free Starbucks coffee in the lobby each morning, complete with your choice of sugar in packets or cubes; free copies of the San Francisco Chronicle on each floor and free copies of national papers in the lobby (but get there early if you want the New York Times, because they go quickly); a large fitness facility with a nice variety of equipment, all in good working order, and fresh apples for the taking; free laundering of gym clothes.
