Not trying to put the cart in front of the horse, but I am looking for any possible hotel recommendations for the Natty, and recommendations on things to do. Definitely doing San Fran for atleast a day.
Any idea where the team hotel would be? San Jose?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Go Tigers

I don't want to rain on your parade, but in my opinion, San Fran is a dump. Pan-handlers and homeless everywhere. It's been a few years since I was there and I've heard it's even worse, poop in the street, needles, etc. If you just want to be able to say "been there, done that" then, do the cable cars and the Golden Gate bridge and get the heck out. Pass on Fisherman's Wharf. While you are at the Golden Gate, continue North into the wine country (Napa and Sonoma valleys). There are hot springs and a couple small geysers (don't expect Old Faithful like). From the Sonoma area, head West toward Bodega Bay. If you are old enough to remember the Hitchcock movie, The Birds, it was filmed in Bodega Bay. You will also pass through the Russian River area with some redwoods to see. You can take Highway 1 back to the San Fran area for some nice scenery.
San Fran does have one redeeming quality...good food. Most every place has sourdough bread. If you like beer, try Anchor Steam beer. It's one of my favorites from the area. I have seen it back East but never on draft.
If you decide not to go to SF, I think you will enjoy the Monterrey area. They have a Fisherman's Wharf and it's a lot more family friendly. Depending on how far you want to drive, you can also pick up the Pacific Coast highway and head South for an hour or two. Beautiful view of the Pacific.
Good luck and Go Tigers!

We got a 3 bedroom Airbnb just outside of San Jose for $210 a night.
