Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spacious with two super comfortable queen size beds, providing a good night's sleep. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making our dining and service experiences enjoyable. The location was convenient, allowing easy travel to nearby attractions. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, and certain nights had increased prices.
My stay at this hotel was simply fantastic! The room was well appointed, comfortable, and a great value for a weekend in San Francisco. The view from the 25th floor was perfect, providing a quiet, clean, and cozy atmosphere with all the necessary amenities like a coffee machine. The huge windows in every room made it bright and inviting.
The hotel offers a fantastic view over the bay, with spacious rooms. However, the soundproofing could be better, as noise from the corridors occasionally disrupted the stay.
The hotel room was ready quite early for us to check in, somewhat clean but not up to the standard of a more affordable hotel. The prices seemed high for the quality provided, and the room stayed cold.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms felt really small, especially with the construction noise from above, but they did have a nice view. The service was top-notch overall, with a professional staff, although they didn't offer a late check-out. The location had its pros and cons, being perfect for exploring the city but also a bit sketchy at times. The dining experience was slightly underwhelming in terms of options, but the facilities met my expectations.
The hotel had clean and cozy rooms with a handy empty mini-fridge, but it appeared a bit dingy. The service was a mix of distant engagement during normal requests and very attentive behaviors. The location was convenient for traveling around the city, especially to Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers a real taste of San Francisco with its perfect local location and friendly service. The rooms provide a beautiful city view, though a bit tight on space. Dining, while good, could be more affordable. Overall, a convenient and pleasant stay.
The hotel offers a good value for a weekend in San Francisco, with well-appointed and comfortable rooms. However, the room size is limited, and some areas were dusty. The staff is a mix of unhelpful and incredibly amazing experiences. The location is superb for exploring various attractions on foot, surrounded by convenient shops and restaurants. The dining options are varied and excellent, with attentive service. The facilities are well-monitored and comfortable.
The hotel offered a very clean environment with a large workout facility compared to most hotels, beautiful, clean, well-maintained with very comfortable bedding. The first night was fantastic, but the service was unfriendly and quite abrupt at times.
The hotel offers a good view of the city from the rooms, which were fairly clean. However, the proximity to a noisy machine on the 7th floor facing the road was a downside, despite my efforts to switch to a quieter room. The staff acknowledged the issue but did not offer a room change easily.
The hotel offers spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms but lacks a microwave. The prices were on the higher side, making it not fully worth it. The service was a mix of extreme kindness and friendliness but had some shortcomings like lack of in-room amenities and unexpected cleaning timings. The location is excellent for exploring San Francisco, with easy access to public transport and great views from higher rooms. The dining experience was average, with affordable options but limited offerings. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel has a fantastic view over the bay with a grand view within the room. The check-in experience was a bit confusing as the staff seemed overwhelmed, but the location is absolutely fantastic with easy access to popular spots in the city and plenty of dining options nearby.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a lovely view of the city and pool but were not as clean as expected. The service was exceptional, especially in arranging tour tickets, yet there were some areas that left much to be desired. The location was convenient and ideal for exploring the city. The dining options were a bit pricey for what was offered.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were spacious, with lots of services in the lobby and a great view. The bedding was comfortable. However, my initial room was behind 2 very noisy elevators, but the staff quickly exchanged it for a quiet room with a great view of Van Ness.
The hotel has a great location near public transport, making it easy to get around the city to popular spots like Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, although the lack of exhaust made the room steam up after a shower. The service was generally helpful and accommodating, with standout assistance from Michael at the front desk. The dining options were basic but functional, and the atmosphere in the bar area added to the overall experience. While the price is reasonable, it's worth noting that not all amenities are included in the room rate.
