Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The photos are NOT accurate. The carpets were filthy. The room was much smaller than what appears in the photos. The room was sprayed with a potent spray to cover the dirty conditions. I did not feel safe. DO NOT STAY HERE!! I also purchased the travel insurance through hotels.com which was a joke. I paid $50 and was only refunded $100 from my cancelation. There are a million better places to stay. I was forced to book this hotel due to DreamForce and paid almost $1000 for two nights and did not stay. I travel to SF 2x a month for work and have stayed in very nice hotels and humble hotels. My top priority is safety and cleanliness, of which this hotel has neither. Please please please do not stay here.
