This hotel was nice. The rooms were standard nothing special. The main problem we had was the mini fridge did not work. They replaced it and it still did not work. It is located in a closed cabinet that has no air flow. On a side note the roof top pool is nice in the morning

Very nice city view from the window, I could not stop looking out of the window. It would be better if the parking space for each car could be larger.

I paid for parking, but there was no mention of a height limitation for the Hotel Parking of 5'10" so even though I paid for parking I was not able to park at the Hotel and had to pay for parking at a nearby parking facility for an additional $70.00

Homeless around the area and lots of dog waste on the streets. Hotel isn’t responsible and it’s a SF problem. Overall good hotel and service, minus one for no air flow to reduce steam inside the bathroom when showering. Also, hotel clerk forgot to return my DL when checking in.

Probably would have gotten higher marks but they stuck us next to the elevator and it was noisy constantly. They need to add some soundproofing to the rooms next to the elevators.

Super fast check in. Super clean room. Comfortable bed and Dove branded products in the bathroom. Quiet rooms and lovely view from level 9. The bar was closed when we returned but the kind gentlemen opened it up and served us drinks which was very thoughtful of him. All the staff were helpful and courteous. Highly recommended
