Question: Where is the parking lot located?

This hotel is not for everyone, but I got the sense of that after reading about it on their website and on Trip Advisor. We needed a place to stay for one night before we flew back home, so I figured I'd give the Phoenix a try.We got in later in the evening. I was tired from being in the car all day. Parking was difficult - very small lot and not enough spaces, but we got the car squeezed in and checked in. The front desk clerk was pleasant, but definitely had his own "style," which I could see might put someone else off. I was too tired to spend much time chatting. We had a lot of stuff to take out of the car and repack for flying the next day, so the fact that there was parking right there, easily accessible, was a plus. Our hotel was on the first floor - opens right into the courtyard. It was Friday night and the Bambuddaha Lounge was rockin'!! It was such a vibrant scene of young people partying. We thought it was pretty funny and if we hadn't been so exhausted, would have gotten changed and checked out the scene. The heated pool was small, but very funky. It is open late, which is nice, and their were young kids playing in the pool, right near all these hip young party-goers, which was neat to see.The hotel is so funky - decorated with lots of interesting art. The rooms are standard '60s motel rooms repainted and furnished to make them seem hip and current. The room was big and comfortable. My only critique would be the bathroom needed a little updating - but even that was fun with a funky shower curtain and kitchy duck decales in the tub.The noise from the club was pretty loud. If you are looking for a quiet retreat, I wouldn't recommend staying here on a Friday night. I think they close down at 2 a.m., we had no trouble getting to sleep, but the big windows don't block out all the noise. We had fun listening to drunk people try to carry on conversations and pick up girls/boys. I woke up around 4 a.m. and could still hear people talking outside.We took advantage of the continental breakfast by the pool. A very nice spread for a continental breakfast and it was nice to have it right out the door by the pool. They have these cool "cabana" type things set up with curtains and people were having their breakfast there. We opted for poolside chairs. The best part was that they included Pop Tarts in the offerings - how cool is that?!Overall, it was a fun experience. The neighborhood was not a great one and it was bit off-putting to get a note about car vandalism and theft when you got your parking tag. I'm not sure I would rush back to stay here next time I'm in San Francisco, but I'm not disappointed I tried it. If you are young, like to party, and can appreciate the kitchy fun atmosphere, I say, go for it!!!

Question: Why you buy everything?

We stayed at the hilton for two nights as part of a Caravan tour. unlike other viewers who say the hotel was noisy, we stayed in a section which faced a courtyard, and the room was very quiet..others in our group did face the street and commented that it was a bit noisy there......the room was clean and relatively new, the staff was pleasant and helpful, and went out of the way to help us with a problem we had with a piece of luggage that was damaged at the airport...the location is fine if you want to be near fisherman's wharf, but if I had a choice, I would have stayed up near union square, I think that is a better location overall....but I have nothing bad to say about this two story hotel, everything was just fine, including the breakfast there which is quite good.

Question: Does the hotel offer good service?

On first sight the Castle hotel is not great, but the rooms are fine and the location is good once you get your bearings.Varsa, the hotel manageress was wonderful.She advised us to buy an 18 dollar , 3 day public transport pass which was well worth the money and enabled us to use the bus and trolley system all day long.If you are looking for luxury then the Castle is not for you, but for a clean, convenient place to stay its great.

Question: Can I find a cheap good hotel near sea side?

The Mosser Hotel in San Francisco, was recommended to us by friends. We were looking to stay at a great boutique hotel with some charm and history. The experience was great. It's beautifully renovated in keeping with the original details. The staff is very personable and accomodating. The hotel's consideration of the environment was another plus. Adjacent to the hotel is Anabelle's Bar & Grill, which has been there since 1913. Definitely recommend going there. We can't wait for our next visit to the hotel.

Question: How is the drink?

Stayed over President's Day weekend as a birthday surprise for my girlfriend. It was enjoyable and memorable.The hotel is in a wonderful location at the top of Nob Hill. We had upgraded to an upper floor room with city view, which cannot be beat. The valet service and the check-in were friendly and efficient, with our package details clearly spelled out. However, there was a snafu with the bags and I ended up having to go back downstairs to get them myself. The room was nicely appointed and clean. The room size was fairly small, not surprising for an older hotel but adequate for 2 people. Elevators were a bit slow, but acceptable considering the property is 80 years old.The Top of the Mark was great for late evening drinks (no kids allowed, drinks average $10 and proper dress is expected) with wonderful nighttime views of the city. Breakfast was outstanding, a high quality buffet with panaromic views stretching from downtown to Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. There is a cable car stop outside which can get you around, otherwise you are looking at a VERY steep walk to get down to Union Square and a real killer to walk back up Powell to California Street. Checkout was a bit slow, but all charges were clearly explained, unlike some earlier posters who seemed to have problems. Maybe it helps to be an InterContinental member. The car was waiting outside with no delay.Overall, if you like a place with history and class, this is a great place to stay. The package value I received was outstanding, for $219 a great room, parking ($50) and breakfast for two ($52 value) included. Classic architecture, romantic history and a fabulous view of a wonderful city make for a memorable stay.

Question: How is it tv?

As others have noted, Hotel Nikko is located in a great neighborhood. Steps from Union Square and the Powell Street Bart Station. Shopping is literally steps away. I followed the advice of other tripadvisor members (exiting right out of the hotel, rather than left) and was able to avoid the Tenderloin (which is apparently very close).The hotel itself is clean and has all of the normal amenities. The rooms are on the large size for San Francisco. Flat panel TV was nice. As others have noted, the mini bars are the kind where if you take something out, it ends up on your bill. Don't think about buying a soda and then replacing it later.The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was busy, but check in was quick and efficient, and staff were available when I needed help or information.The adjacent Starbucks is convenient and opens early (if you're an east coaster who is up and needs caffeine).The only trouble I had was with the hotel's wireless. I never was able to connect to the internet (never even could get to the place where you enter the credit card). I suspect that they must use javascript (or something else that my company deems a security risk).All in all, a please (albeit short) stay.

Question: How is the hotel?

After reading the reviews on this site, I was terrified of my choice, but had already paid in full through Expedia. The hotel turned out better than I expected and I completely relaxed. Room was charming, although it was the absolute smallest hotel room that I have ever stayed in, and the bathroom was really itty bitty!Didn't have much contact with the staff, but what contact I did have was pleaseant. I arrived at the hotel at 11 a.m. was allowed to check in, which helped me enjoy a full day in San Francisco without worrying about check in times, etc.I took Bart from the airport and highly recommend it over taking a $40 or more taxi ride.

Question: Is the parking fee expensive?

We stayed at the Grand Hyatt a few weeks ago, on the last leg of our 10 day vacation. I thought I had found a great bargain in an expensive city (I had a discount for $100 off a 2 night stay) and was prepared to give this hotel 4 stars. After reading other users' reviews, I've changed my opinion--I think I'm going to have to start using Priceline! Hearing that people stayed here for $75 a night makes me feel like I got ripped off since we paid just under $200 a night (without the discount). We figured for that price, the location, and the Hyatt name, it would be worth the price. Thinking back, the hotel was really nothing special. It was ok as far as decor, and the room wasn't THAT small. We were only on the 5th floor, so we had no view. Also, you could hear people talking in the hall and in adjacent rooms, which was annoying. I don't think the hotel has a pool (not that we found, anyway) which would be an amenity you would expect to find at most of the larger hotels. The parking fee was outrageous! The staff was friendly and helpful with directions and suggestions of where to eat. I really wish that we had stayed closer to Fisherman's Wharf, because that's where we ended up spending most of our time anyway. All in all, we had a pleasant stay, but now that I look back on it, I don't think we got our money's worth.

Question: How is the view?

The hotel was in a GREAT location, close to all the downtown shopping.but once we walked in the room was average. we stayed on the 32nd floor and had a great city view. but the tv was likely a 10 year old tv. The Bed was great.the bathroom was average, and had a small 5" tv. that was long and likely from 1990.there is NO pool.. I just assumed a 4 star hotel would have a pool.the view from the 36th floor restaurant was amazing, but you could stay at motel 6 and come eat up here as well.the lobby is just average.I travel a bunch, and this would easily be a 3 star hotel.

Question: How do you like the street noise?

The hotel is proximate to a lot of interesting things -- it's at the terminus of the cable car line to Chinatown, there's a BART stop right out the door, the Moscone and MoMA are three blocks away. The disadvantage of this location is the location: that part of the city is very noisy. The staff were top notch in helpfulness and enthusiasm. The room was small, but comfortable with a lot of pillows on the bed and a ceiling fan for cooling. For amenities, there was a flat screen TV (basic channels), free wireless, coffee maker, and hair dryer.As for minuses: the bathroom had mini-blinds whose louvers weren't adjustable, but pointed down. The problem was the hotel across the street would have a [bad] into the activities in the bathroom.

The hotel is proximate to a lot of interesting things -- it's at the terminus of the cable car line to Chinatown, there's a BART stop right out the door, the Moscone and MoMA are three blocks away. The disadvantage of this location is the location: that part of the city is very noisy. The staff were top notch in helpfulness and enthusiasm. The room was small, but comfortable with a lot of pillows on the bed and a ceiling fan for cooling.

Question: How is the hotel?

I had a great stay at this beautiful, historic hotel while in San Francisco for a meeting. My room which was reasonably priced had a lovely view and although near the elevator was very quiet. I enjoyed the Tonga room and am sorry to hear that it will be closing . The only reason I did not give the hotel 5 stars is that on more than one occasion personnel seemed to be steering me to specific restaurants and/or tour companies.

Question: How is service?

This is one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had - stunning views of the city, top notch service, and very nice rooms with all of the amenities you would expect from a Mandarin Oriental. The courtesy car was a pleasant surprise and helped us save on taxi fares when going out to dinner at night. Highly, highly recommended.

Question: Is staff helpful?

I had high hopes for our trip to San Francisco and staying at the Drisco ensured a wonderful trip. From my first contact with the staff to make our reservation, everything went incredibly smoothly. The staff is exceptional, always willing to go the extra step. They are professional yet friendly and if they can't answer a question immediately they will find the answer quickly. The actual number of staff is also impressive. The hotel is located in a magnificent area in SF and while it is not in the center of all the action, the view from the hills of Pacific Heights is far more exciting. The hills are rigorous but we also had a car and we had no trouble parking. You do have to move the car every three hours but the staff offered to do it for us if we weren't around! We had no trouble getting a cab as the hotel called them for us and they were there within 10 minutes. You are also near the Fillmore Street and Chestnut Street shopping areas which are a lot of fun. Our family stayed in a lovely two bedroom city view suite, which gave us ample room and stunning views. The bathrooms are large and well appointed. The continental breakfast and wine and cheese hour included for all guests makes the Drisco even more special and affordable. The dining room and sitting rooms are quite comfortable and inviting. We stayed a week and were extremely happy and would not even think of staying anyplace else when we return to SF.

Question: When is the wine tasting?

We just returned from our Easter trip. My family was pleasantly welcomed by the door man "Ken" He gave us tips on the area and chatted like he was a dear friend.Next we approached the front desk and again, greeted warmly ! Then our sweet "Benji" took us to our room (Our home- sweet- home for the next 4 days)We requested a gold fish for our 8 year old daughter. She was thrilled with "Spacehog" THANKS !!We were amazed at the warm greetings (by name) each time we passed by staff. Rooms are charming and have style. Great wine hour. Nice restaurants. A perfect hotel and I'm VERY picky. Tuscan Inn and MacArthur Place could learn from this place. Miss the Monaco already !

Question: How to be near a wharf with a car?

My family stayed for two nights in August at the Marriott Fisherman's Wharf at the start of our California trip. We arrived about noon and had easy check-in with the very courteous staff up front. Our room was small but clean and nice. The location is excellent, right near the Wharf and close to North Beach and Chinatown. Easy to walk everywhere if you enjoy exercise!The staff here was really great..friendly and professional. We were amazed at the international feel of the guests...it was fun to hear the different languages.The lounge area downstairs is nice...great bar with microbrews on tap and big screen TV.No pool or spa...only markdowns for that and rooms are a little small..otherwise a great place to stay!.

Question: How is the smell?

This is an boutique hotel with small rooms and an excellent location. But the hotel has a weird smell... Like being in a horse stable. I don't know what they use for cleaning, but it doesn't smell nice.When we arrived, we discovered that the top blanket on the bed was dirty with stains. We went to the front desk and asked for another, and he sent op a man to remove it.The bathroom was clean but needed a remodeling, it seemed pretty outdated. The complimentary breakfast was not even a breakfast, but only three kinds of pastry and coffee/tea. Thats too poor for a 3 star hotel. No free internet. But the location is very good and close to everything.

Question: How is the staff?

I really have no complaints about this hotel, the staff was courteous, the room was clean (although very small). The sheets on the bed were sub-par, which I wouldnt complain about except for the fact that we were paying $180 a night. Overall, my stay was plesant but I would only stay here again if I got a significantly discounted rate. My advice is to check out the Chancellor Hotel...its closer to union square, has the same size rooms and service, but is half the price. The only difference between the two is that the Chancellor's lobby isnt as nice, and the carpet is older at the Chancellor as well.

Question: What is the location of the hotel?

This hotel is really well located - it's next to a BART station so it's easy to get to and from the airport without having to get a cab; it's one or two blocks from all the great shopping at Union Sq; it's around the corner from the cable car; it's walking distance to some good bars/restaurants. Getting to Pier 39 was no problem as it's just a short cab ride away. China Town is also walking distance - about 10 minutes or so as long as you don't mind walking up steep roads! It is best to get a cab to go to Golden Gate Bridge - and get their number so you can call for a cab back as it can be difficult to flag down a cab here!The rooms are well equipped with the basics. We booked a standard room which was compact but prefectly fine. Rooms are clean. The bed is big and really comfortable. The bathroom could do with an update as they are really old. It's not a fancy hotel, so if that's what you're looking for don't stay here. However, the hotel does have lots of pluses, location being one of them and which is why we chose to stay here.

Question: What did you expect from the service?

My husband and I stayed for a long weekend in September with our 6yr old son. We got a good deal through Hotwire, $220/nt. The room was comfortable and well appointed, if a bit small. The service was great. The concierge was very helpful recommending terrific restaurants every night. We also used the nanny service they suggest and they are great! We have only 2 complaints: 1) the ice maker on our floor was broken. This was fantastic for our son who loved riding the elevator down a few floors to get ice! 2) Room service and restaurant hours are short. We would stay there again if we could get another good deal. .

Question: Is it a good place?

I can't believe I booked this room at a rate of $189.00 per night.. I must have had the same room as the reviewer from Germany. The staff was nice enough but this place smelled horrible, had ratty bedding, and no air conditioning. Noisy room with a view of a brick wall. Since there's no air conditioning all windows in hotel were open which allowed for cigarette smoke, sirens, and other guests noise to float right into my room. If you are a woman traveling alone I would avoid this place. The doors were not very secure and there was so little staff in the lobby there's no way they had any real security. This place was so bad I left after the first night and moved into the San Fransico Marriott a few blocks away.

Question: How is the treatment of the staff in that hotel?

Got a great deal: paid the state rate and then got upgraded to a jr suite in the best tower with the best view. The room was very large. It had a computer desk chair to die for. i loved to sit in it and just look out the huge picture window. Employees were friendly, my room steward was great. She took really good care of me the four nights I was there. The place is huge. I enjoyed it. Nice lobby and other features such as a Starbucks. Great conference hotel.

Question: How is the food?

My 81 year old Mom visted. We are seasoned travelers. We loved The Mark Hopkins. Sort of older style hotel... but very classy, comfortable, clean etc. Rooms are great, beds are great. Staff is short handed when check check out is crowded, but they are very attentive. The best prices believe it or not are on their own website. Same price we got on Priceline. The $169 rooms are almost the same as the $189 rooms. The $169 room have a lower floor view. Both are great.If you go to The Top of The Mark Rest.... do it for drinks and the view. The food is very expensive. Breakfast while ok was too much money. Take the cable car down to Union Square or walk and go to smeoplace like Sears or The Diner.dcr, Middletown, Ca

Question: What is your take on the service by the doctors in the city hospital?

There is not much to add to the previous glowing and detailed reviews. The service is friendly yet professional. Our room was immaculate and nicely decorated. The breakfasts and evening wine tastings (including cheeses, crackers, almonds, dried fruit and chocolate) as well as the hot cider and cookies were greatly appreciated. And the location was perfect. I have mixed emotions writing this review because I'd like to keep it my little secret but I think the word is out.

Question: What about the front desk?

My husband and I stayed here for a night in December when he had a business trip of SF. The front desk staff was very nice and upon hearing it was my birthday, they upgraded us to a corner room on one of the high floors, so we had a beautiful view and a larger room. The rooms are nice, clean and beds are comfortable. The bathroom was nice sized as well. The hotel itself is modern (kind of sterile feeling). It is close to Union Square and a couple blocks from Chinatown. If you are travelling with kids, I would recommend staying closer to Fishermans Wharf, but for adults visiting, this is a nice choice.

Question: What is the customer service?

I have been a regular visitor to the bar and restaurant at this hotel for many years, back when I used to live in the Bay Area. Recently I booked a 1 year anniversary trip with my wife and decided to stay here. We had some sort of large suite that was very spacious, but very sparse. The bed was not exceedingly comfortable, but wasn't bad either. The rooms are edgy but cold. The bathroom was huge but felt like a hospital and had a serious issue with the water from the shower ending up in the hallway.The lobby is fantastic and the Redwood Room Bar and Asia De Cuba restaurant are some of the cooler spots in the entire city. We returned nightly to long lines of people waiting to get past the ropes into the bar, but the staff remembered us by sight and let us through quickly with a pleasant hello. Most staff remembered our names even though we were only here for 4 days. The staff were as good as any Four Seasons or Peninsula. Surprisingly the incredibly loud bar scene of the lobby did not make it to our room on the 5th floor. Street noise, however, had no problem at all getting into our room at all times and woke us up every morning. The location is excellent.Ultimately the hotel will guarantee a pleasant and exciting stay- but not a quiet and luxurious one. Like most Ian Schrager properties (hotel owner) the aim is for a Cool, Hip, Edgy feeling, not pampering. The staff are great though- no edge at all just awesome service. We knew what we were getting into and liked it. Probably would have been more appropriate for another type of trip, rather than a 1 year anniversayr because "romantic" doesn't come to mind- but we had a great time anyway.No spa onsite. We went to the Ritz for that.

Answer: The staff were as good

I have been a regular visitor to the bar and restaurant at this hotel for many years, back when I used to live in the Bay Area. Recently I booked a 1 year anniversary trip with my wife and decided to stay here. We had some sort of large suite that was very spacious, but very sparse. The bed was not exceedingly comfortable, but wasn't bad either. The rooms are edgy but cold. The bathroom was huge but felt like a hospital and had a serious issue with the water from the shower ending up in the hallway. The lobby is fantastic and the Redwood Room Bar and Asia De Cuba restaurant are some of the cooler spots in the entire city. We returned nightly to long lines of people waiting to get past the ropes into the bar, but the staff remembered us by sight and let us through quickly with a pleasant hello.

Question: How was the attention of the staff?

Me and my friend checked in the hotel on August 15, 2007 and checked out on August 18, 2007. I was nicely surprised to find a spacious room with a nice size bathroom and a walk-in closet(something rare for SF). Everything was extremely clean!!! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The hotel has a cozy lobby with a fireplace and couches. In addition, the hotel is environment -friendly. The hotel is located in a very safe place, close to downtown and Union Square; however, it is a 30+ min walk to the bay. There is valet and self parking available in the hotel (something like $30/$20 per day). There is in/out up until midnight.Later on our trip, me and my friend stayed in a Ramada Limited hotel in Santa Cruz, CA ($150 per night) where the room was bigger but lacked the clean feel of the room in Carlton. Also, stayed in a Carmel hotel in Santa Monica, CA ($130 per night) where the room was tiny, very dated, and not as clean as the one in Carlton. Both of these hotels were same price or more expensive than the Carlton (paid on average $130 per night) and not worthed the money at all.I would definately recommend this hotel to everyone. You will enjoy your stay!!!

Question: How is bed?

My wife is picky about hotels and not easily impressed. The lobby was a good start-- easy on the eye, jazzy techno in the background. The staff was friendly and helpful with hints like "don't waste your time at Pier 39." But when the missus entered our room, she exclaimed: "Oh, hell yes." Cool furniture, nice bed and bathroom. Plenty of space. There was even a small couch and an i-pod adapter on the nightstand. I'd done well picking this place.

Question: How was your overall experience of this hotel?

We started staying at the Pan Pacific 15 years ago on our Honeymoon night. Every once in a while we try a different hotel in SF and are dissapointed and go back to Pan Pacific. The rooms are typical size for SF but the luxury is there in every room. It is not only clean and beautiful, but the service is perfect and we stay there probably 4 or 5 times a year and it is always consistent. I am a very picky traveler and this hotel fits the bill. If you stay here you won't be disspointed.

Question: What is room size?

We stayed at the Mark while attending a Holiday Party. My boyfriend won a free stay in his company raffle, and as we live 15 miles away, we went ahead and stayed the night.The hotel is pretty average for San Francisco standards. A small room, nicely decorated, with breathtaking views. The staff was a disappointment, when I called to confirm the reservation, I was transferred 4 times and then hung up on. They weren't much nicer in person.Parking runs something like $48.00 a day. That's (unfortunately) about normal for San Francisco. However, we shopped around online and saw that you can park at the Nob Hill Masonic Center, which is located at 1111 California Street (apprx. 1 1/2 blocks away) for $27 for a 24 hour period. And that's only if you need to drive. San Francisco has fantastic public transportation, so usually a car is not necessary.The rooms were okay, the room service prices were ridiculous, $18 for a cheeseburger!! (but that's par for the course, I guess). The only reason I would recommend this hotel would be for out of town visitors who want some views and don't know which parts of the City to avoid (we do have our problem areas). The hill leading up to the hotel is one of the steepest in the City, so I don't recommend this hotel for anyone who has trouble walking.Overall, we weren't really impressed with the hotel, but we didn't pay anything for it, so it was okay. I'd stay there again, but only if the room was free.

Question: What do you think about the receptionist?

We stayed at The Holiday Inn at Fishermans Wharf for 3 nights at the end of April 2006. This was our first stop on our tour of California. We had flown all the way over from the UK and was absolutely exhausted when we arrived. We were greated by a friendly Bell Boy once entering the main reception and were checked in by a helpful and friendly receptionist. We were told that we were in the Annex building on Beach Street which is just opposite. (It would appear that the Brits package holidaymakers are put in the annex building - we booked through Virgin). The building hads a 24 hr Dennys restaurant on the ground floor and it also has a reception area, however it wasn't always manned when we were there. The Denny's restaurant is really handy, and the staff very polite and courteous. It was a little more expensive than the other Denny's restaurants that we have used, but the food and service was excellent. Our hotel room was in very good/ clean order and it would appear that it was newly refurbished. The carpet was like new and the general decor in very good order. There is a in room safe, iron and Ironing board and tea making facilities provided in the room. In the main building, there is a little gift shop, coffee bar, restaurant and bar. It is also very well located to Pier 39, and the restaurants and shops etc locally. This is a all round excellent hotel, and would definately stay here again.

Question: What is the customer service?

I booked the Hotel Whitcomb for a one-night stay on Hotwire for $73 and then read the reviews on TripAdvisor and was a little skeptical. However, my stay at the Whitcomb was great. I guess I lucked out with a good room. The customer service was excellent. The staff at the check-in desk were very friendly and enthusiastic. The lobby is very impressive and beautiful. Sure, the hotel is not in a great neighborhood, but it's SF - neighborhoods change block by block. Plus, with the BART entrance literally steps outside the hotel entrance, it couldn't be more convenient. My room was on the 7th floor at the back of the hotel (not facing Market St). It was quiet and decently-sized. The bathroom was very small, but I was traveling alone, so it was fine. The bed was comfortable and the room had all the amenities I needed. It seemed to be very clean. The decor was nice, I felt like the hotel had a lot of character. I travel to SF on a regular basis for work and will plan to stay at the Whitcomb again.

Question: Why do I have a good bed?

My husband and I stayed at the Handlery in May this year for 3 nights. The location of this hotel is fantastic being right outside Union Square. We had a standard room which was nice, a king bed which was really comfy, and it also had a mini fridge. The concierge was extremely helpful and went out of his way to help. Their on site restaurant "The Daily Grill" is really good for breakfast or dinner. I highly recommend the Key Lime Pie!

Question: How is the treatment of staff?

We chose this hotel because of its location, the price and the good reviews on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed.We used the BART to and from the airport - a couple blocks walk from the Powell station to the hotel. Lots of great restaurants, theatre (live), and MUNI stations very close. The location is great.The price was very reasonable. We were given a room on the "historic" side of the hotel - the older side. Our room had one double bed and it almost filled the room - that was fine with us as we don't need a lot of space. We actually don't spend much time in the room anyway - other than sleeping. The room was very clean, the bathroom was very clean and it had a good shower, good lighting, hot water and lots of water pressure. The bed was comfortable. Our window looked out to an inner courtyard, but mostly we could just see hotel walls and windows around the courtyard - not a good view, but that is not what we were after. The staff were all very helpful and courteous. We used the adjacent Daily Grill for our breakfasts and it was very good - food and service. We would definitely book here again and would readily recommend the hotel to others.
