back on topic, is the vacancy rate for hotels in the city still insanely low? The intercontinental should bring some rooms online soon, but is there still demand for this kind of space?

Re your mom's bust: My best friend is a desk clerk at a hotel that shall go nameless (but is an upscale corporate sibling of the "juke box"). Said hotel also has pretentions to being above all that. But he tells me hair-raising stories of all sorts of unlikely behavior.
Anyway, my understanding (and I'll look into it further if you wish) is that SF hotel occupancy has improved considerably since 2001-2003, but it shouldn't matter because I believe the Palace Tower is to be partly or entirely condos with hotel services like the upper floors of the 4 Seasons and St. Regis, and the Ritz Carlton Residences.
