We had a corner view room 1801. Great views. Could see Alcatraz prison. Clean and comfortable room. Double glazed windows that don’t open so you rely on air conditioning. Buffet breakfast was top quality and included fresh fruit. We used the restaurant for dinner one night and prices were reasonable and serving sizes were large. Great location on Nob Hill with the cable car down to town right beside the hotel. We would stay again if in town.

Convenient but normal San Fran safety issue.

Safety was a bit of an issue. Parking structure didn’t feel safe. Even at $50/day. Satisfactory stay for our family. Convenient to areas.

Terrible

I booked a 3 night stay with my two kids. The first night was great. However the second night was horrible. There was a couple fighting and screaming all night in the room next to us. We called front desk to let them know. The security came up to tell them to quiet down. That angered them and they were banging on the wall that connected to our room. We had to check out 4am and didn’t stay for the 3rd night. I was very disappointed that they didn’t help with our refund for the second and third night.
