Hotel is in a very convenient location close to Fisherman's Wharf, just a 10 minute walk away. Staff helpful and courteous. Sadly the historic part of the hotel where my room was located is in need of renovation, the property looks quite tired.

Of all the hotels I’ve stayed in this one has some of the most competent, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable front desk. Having valet was also a plus. I stayed in the historic part of the hotel. Older room but very clean, super hot water and some really comfortable sheets and bed.

Unfortunately I did not get to stay there due to a flight mixup. However I have stayed there the last 2 times we've had our meetings there and loved it. It was in close proximity to the convention center, It was quiet, clean and now with the elevator it iseasier to get your luggage up to your room.

Staff was very nice. Carpet was filthy the room itself wasn’t necessarily clean, the bed absolutely sucked. They should really advertise the paper thin walls that you can hear every one of your neighbor’s conversations and the fact that the hot tub is actually in a small room in the basement, as is the only ice machine.
