Question: How is the hotel?

the fairmont was the best hotel i have ever stayed at. that's not saying much since i usually stay at best western - lol! but seriously.....the bed was sooooooo comfortable. the most luscious, soft, fluffy bed ever! the sheets, pillows, blankets were so soft and heavenly. i don't know how i how the great deal of $102/nt because i checked the prices after i got back and it was $300 - $500 from various websites, including the one i booked from. i checked because i couldn't believe that i paid so little for such a luxury 5 star hotel. the bathroom was beautiful and the shower was the best shower i have ever taken. i don't usually stand in the shower to just enjoy it but i did at the fairmont. that showerhead was so full and comforting. there is a mini fridge in the room. we emptied it out and put our own food and drinks in there. what a wonderful place to come back to after a long day of sightseeing. we slept like a baby. the hotel is beautiful and easy to get to. it is quite a walk to fisherman's wharf but it is all downhill. it is impossible to catch the cable car from the hotel. it is always full and they never stop for you. we always took the cable car back from the wharf but i was always an hour wait - but at least we knew we would get on instead of getting dissed. after the 3rd day of walking to the wharf, we were thinking of staying at a hotel near there but i looked at the prices and the reviews and they didn't sound too hot around there. so i dunno. is it worth the convenience to stay at the wharf? or is it totally worth it to stay at the fairmont which is a small commute away? judging from our activites - wharf, alcatraz, golden gate bridge, they are all close to the wharf hotels. but i do think the fairmont is worth the commute. next time, i might try staying at the wharf because of convenience but i have a feeling i will be back at the fairmont again.

Question: Is the shower an good sized area on rooms of this hotel?

After a lovely stay in 2003 we said we'd love to come back and we did in April 2005 for 14 days.We had a two queen bedroom, corner suite on the 15th floor with stunning views which provided a great backdrop for breakfast. The rooms in the suite were spacious, clean and tidy. The suite was cleaned and had the beds made each day. The kitchenette was useful again for a morning tea or an evening coffee and to warm milk for our children (using the microwave oven). We had a problem with our fridge/freezer and the staff sorted this out quickly. The bathroom was small, but met every requirement one would have for such a room - washbasin, bath, shower, shaving point, seating area with flush facility. After all its not like your visiting San Francisco to spend all the time in your bathroom!The deskstaff were, as before, helpful and friendly always having time to talk to the kids or the grown-ups. Tips on where best to eat were as good as before, though some of the venues recommended had changed since our last visit. The staff were also very happy to guide the visitor around the city providing a take-away map for added assistance.Parking was $25 + tax per day, but this is not unreasonable for the city. The free internet access was a very useful.The complimentary breakfast was a bonus and, as it is free, can be passed over if one feels the need of a more substantial breakfast.Don and the team at the Grosvenor Suites have done it again for us. We would love to come back again, I just hope we can make it, at least, one more time.

Question: What is your favorite place in san francisco?

Had a wonderful 5 nights staying at the Tuscan Inn at Fisherman's Wharf. The front desk staff were very helpful. The hotel itself was one of the best we have stayed in. It had such a warm and friendly atmosphere. The wine tasting in the afternoon made available from the manager was a really nice touch as was the free tea and coffee in the lobby in the morning which got you off to a great start for the day. The hotel was very central to everything. We walked to Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, Starbuck's, laundromat (1/2mile from hotel). Italian restaurant next door to hotel had fantastic food. As for the room we could only find one complaint which was the shower head. Apart from this the room itself was perfect, very clean and fresh clean amenities every day. Attractions that we feel are a must are:- Segway tour, Cable car and Ghiradelli ice cream is a must!! These attractions are in very close proximity to each other. Jacob on the Segway tour was very patient and lots of fun. Also make sure you visit Alcatraz.

Question: How is the room service?

The Palace Hotel is a lovely building with beautiful public spaces. The rooms have high-celings and nice (if a bit worn) empire furniture, but they don't seem as grand as the rest of the building and they don't live up to the Luxury Collection expectations I had when I checked in. The service here is merely adequate, not bad, but not really good either. I was, frankly, surprised, as my experiences at other Luxury Collection properties have all been marked by very good to excellent service. My stay at the Palace (earlier this month) was fine, but I doubt I'd stay here again. I would suggest Starwood either rebrand this hotel as a Sheraton, or work with the hotel's owners to freshen the rooms and revitalize the service.

Question: What do you think about desk staff?

I stayed here between 11th and 15th June. The location is great just off Polk Street with all it's bars and restaurants. The room which myself and my wife stayed in, room 225 was tiny it only had a double bed and not much else. The room was clean and the fridge was handy. The reception staff where very polite and helpful. I think i would stay here again not for the hotel itself but for the location.

Question: How is the parking fee?

We stay at this hotel often when we visit friends and family in the area and it is still terrific. As other people have noted, the lower rooms don't have the great views the upper floors do, but the rooms are all still large (by Union Square standards) and clean. Everyone from the front desk, the concierge, the maid service and valet -- is always polite and prompt to take care of our many requests (we travel a lot and tend to be picky). The location is great. For shoppers, Union Square is paradise. The main entrance to Chinatown is a short 2 blocks walk away. North Beach is a 10 minute cab ride, F'sherman's Wharf and Pacific Heights are about 15 min by cab. The Ferry Bldg with its fabulous new weekend market is about 5 mins away. There are also a variety of public transportation options at Union Square. What's the only downside? You don't need a car if you're just touring San Francisco (the public transportation is fabulous), but if you have one (we visit outside the city) parking is OUTRAGEOUS all over San Francisco. Valet at the hotel was $42 a day (ouch!)

Question: What material is the floor?

Spent two nights here in a suite over the weekend. The location is great and the staff seemed very agreeable, but the accommodations were so-so. The place shows its age; floors creak, ceilings feature interesting stains, and the shower ran alternately hot and cold. A little harder to bear were the off-putting smells (there seemed to be a sewage problem somewhere in the vicinity) and high noise level from the street at night. Plan to bring earplugs if you go.

Question: How is the view?

We stayed at the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental in July, 2005. I was a little nervouse because some of the reviews had said the staff were rude. Nothing could be farther from the truth! We arrived on a Sunday morning. We were to get a lower view room, which we did and it was ready early. Our room was on the 5th floor and our view was of the beautiful Grace Cathedral. All of the staff were very pleasant to us, and we were dressed in jeans and flip flops! The room was a bit small, but since it is an older hotel, that is to be expected. The room was beautiful! Everything was very clean and comfortable. Our rate included breakfast for 2 each day we were there so we had the breakfast buffet at the Top of the Mark. Very good food and a beautiful view of the city. The cocktails there were very good too. Again, we were just in jeans but the doorman at the Top of the Mark said that is fine for a weekday. Several others there were dressed like us. We had a pleasant stay and can't wait to go back!

Question: How was the view of the place?

I stayed at Hotel Vitale for a bachelorette weekend and it was wonderful. The service, decor and beds were awesome. The staff was at our beckon call and we loved sleeping in the beds!! The hotel was kind enough to give us a bottle of champagne and a tray of gourmet cupcakes for the group which was super sweet. We loved the rooftop terrace (what a view!) and overall the hotel was great. Overnight parking was $$ at $40/night but that was my only complaint....we went to the bar in the hotel and had a lot of fun there as well. Next time I go to this hotel, I am going to do a more romantic trip as the hotel is good for both scenarios...great stay overall. Thanks Hotel Vitale! (more specifically Nicole Muller)

Question: How is the desk?

Stayed 11 nights at the Harbor Court beginning of November, 2007. I loved it. Yes, bedrooms are small but as a single traveller my room was plenty big for me. Bed was so comfortable. Stylish decor. LIked the extra touches like the wine reception and complimentary coffee in the mornings. I found the staff very efficient. I will stay here again on my next visit for sure. The area around the hotel is ecellent - full of upscale restaurants. Very close to Muni/Bart and the streecars which I loved.

Question: How is decor?

My husband & I and 2 friends were In town for a Giants game & stayed at Hotel Monaco just 1 night. Great central location, just 2 block from Union Square. Staff was very friendly & always helpful. Rooms are on the small side (typical for San Fran) but very clean with nice decor, and very quiet all night. The lobby & 2 lounge areas, both with fireplaces, were just beautiful. They include afternoon wine & cheese, which we missed due to the game. I got a special deal because I'm a Kimpton Club member, so we paid just $139 per night plus free overnight parking. Can't do much better than that in the City. This is a GREAT place to sray. I highly recommend it & will definitely stay here again.

Question: How is it the traffic?

The staff and rooms here are great. We spent Sunday, Monday nights and a Friday night. The rooms are not huge but definetly big enough for us. They are clean. Our only complaint was the noise level at night. The hotel is located right on the highway leading to and from the Golden Gate Bridge. The traffic noise in the front of the hotel was very loud on Sunday and Friday nights. Also if you call the hotel you can get a better rate (for us $25/night) then if you go through one of the web sites. Overall it was a nice experience and a very clean hotel with great staff.

The hotel is located right on the highway leading to and from the Golden Gate Bridge. <hl> The traffic noise in the front of the hotel <hl> was very loud on Sunday and Friday nights. Also if you call the hotel you can get a better rate (for us $25/night) then if you go through one of the web sites. Overall it was a nice experience and a very clean hotel with great staff.


Question: What about morning coffee in this hotel?

The offer of free coffee certainly does not balance out the horrid mattress, or the snotty front desk staff. We booked a room with a king-sized bed but discovered that we had been put in a room with a queen-sized bed. When we inquired, we were told that the hotel "considers" a "request" for bed size but that they can't guarantee such a request unless the hotel guarantees bed size at the time the reservation is made. In other words, you have to even know to ask for such a guarantee. Talk about double talk. There was no attempt at an apology from the counter person or the manager. It was like talking to a wall. Their attitude was bad enough -- but the bed was absolutely horrid. And I'm not talking size -- I'm talking the absence of even minimal comfort. My husband and I rolled toward a depression in the middle of the bed, and it felt as if the bed had no padding whatsoever. It was so hard that my hip bones ached the next morning. The only difference between the bed and the floor would have been that, if we had slept on the floor, we wouldn't have rolled together. We didn't ask for or expect much of a view, but the windows opened to a dark alley and a view of the moldy wall of the building across the alleyway. The towel heater would have been a nice touch -- if it worked. But the absence of a fan in the bathroom was not offset by the nonfunctional towel heater, or the tiny robes offered for guest's use. No, the room wasn't outrageously expensive (although parking was). The room and the bed were just not acceptable. I've had better rest at a Holiday Inn.

Question: How is the place?

I was looking for an inexpensive place to stay while visiting my son who lives in the Haight area. When I found the Carl Hotel, I was suspicious that it would be unsafe or dirty because the price seemed too cheap for San Francisco...I had my son check it out, and he gave it a thumbs up, so I took my chances, and was VERY pleased. Sure, the rooms are small, have old furniture, bland decor, and some of the carpeting looked worn, but everything was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower had good water pressure, and you can't beat the great location in Cole Valley, a quiet residential neighborhood near the light rail line...One block away is Cole Street, where you can grab coffee or breakfast, and only a few blocks to Haight St, where even more restaurants and stores are..Also very close to Golden Gate Park, which is a great way to spend the day...The two "negatives": the light rail line runs right in front of the hotel, so at night, you can periodically hear and feel it as it goes by (after the first night, it didn't bother me at all). The other slight negative is that there is no one on duty in the early AM or late at night, so if you need info. or want to check out, you may not find someone to help you. Because I was leaving at 6am, I checked out the night before, which was no problem.Other than those two small issues, the Carl was a great place to stay, and if you're just using your hotel as a place to sleep and take a shower, it's the perfect choice.

Question: How is bathrooms quality on rooms of this hotel?

spend 4 days there for business. try to get a room with a view over the bay: I was overlooking Alcatraz Prison! the hotel has a great history as it is probably one of the first luxurious hotel of SF. Many famous people, from US president to actors came there. You feel the history with the rococo design. a bit kitschy but perfect for a romantic stay and great if you like this kind one hotel which reminds you the French Riviera. The staff was very helpful. the rooms are big, bathrooms nice with bath and shower, 32 LCD TVs. the lobby is huge with lots of private space if you need to meet people. There is a bar where you can have a big breakfast in the morning or have a drink later in the day. there is also another bar in the former swimming pool with an Tahitian theme where you can have cocktails or diner. didn't try the food but the cocktail were good (and pricey as it is a first class hotel). the gym is ok but you have to pay, sthg like $10 or $15/day. the hotel in on top of a hill so if you are a lazy type person you will have to take a cab or the tramway to come back or find another hotel downtown! it s a 5 min cab ride to go downtown and there are always cabs waiting at the entrance. the concierge has great restaurant recommendations. indicated me an awesome tapas place in the Spanish area. I would definitely come back even if they lack a pool....(I was there in the winter so not so inconvenient).last thing: have a drink in the hotel next door, in the tower: great view over SF

Question: How is he behaviour of the staff in the hotel?

I stayed at the Rex in New Year's Eve . The room was nice, clean & confortable , facing Sutter Street on the 6th floor, with a fantastic bed (see picture). I had dinner at The Rex , the food was ok although it took a while to be served. Before dinner there was live music in the hall (jazz) which was rather cool. This hotel is all about location and it's staff. The staff was amazing, friendly and made one feel very welcome. Union Square is round the corner , as well as Cable cars ( corner of Powel & Sutter ). I had breakfast at Loris, it was great (check picture) . Good inexpensive food, free wireless ... can highly recommend it.I would have no problem at all to return to the Rex on my next trip to San Francisco .

Question: How is the coffee?

We stayed at the Tuscan for the last two nights of our holiday following our return from Las Vegas. Having spent the first week in a hotel closer to Union Square we had decided to be nearer to Fishermans Wharf. It was a good decision and we were not disappointed with the hotel. Very conveniently situated just a couple of blocks from Fisherman's Wharf. The hotel was very welcoming and efficient and the room comfortable and beautifully presented. Unfortunately the room looked out onto another building, but it was at least quiet and we didn't spend much time there. The bed was extremely comfortable. The wine tasting session in the early evening was a nice touch and extremely popular and the complementary tea and coffee in the morning was appreciated too. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Tuscan again!

Question: How was the service in the hotel?

We had 3 weeks in California planned for our honeymoon and chose San Francisco as our first stop. We absolutely loved the city and The Inn at Union Square was the perfect location. It is small but perfectly formed with fantastic but relaxed service. We arrived late on our first night and we were recommended a wonderful place for breakfast the morning after which was fantastic. The relaxed 'help-yourself' breakfast in the hotel was also great and really well done. The location was great; near to shops, all types of transport for exploring the city, car hire facilities around the corner, restaurant, cafes, bars etc. This place is exceptional value!

Question: How much does a hotel that offers food cost?

My boyfriend and I found the staff at the kubuki to be rude. From the moment we came in to each time we had to go in and out. We had called to make our reservation earlier to find out if it would be ok to bring our large very mellow dog. Of course the lady we spoke to said it would be no problem as long as our dog was behaved. We even called back just before heading to the city to confirm everything was fine. Of course, the person on the phone said no problem. When we arrived they acted as if we were trying to pull something over on them and made us feel completely unwelcome. After we finally got checked in with much grumbling and whispering behind the counter, we wanted to quickly unload the car before taking the car to the garage. Because we didn't want valet parking they wouldn't let us use the cart to move our luggage until we begged.The room was ok. Obviously covering up a crappier room that once existed. The advertised balcony only had enough room for one person to stand and no one to pass behind them.The best part and saving grace of the place for the bathroom. It rocked. Deep tub and shower room and nice vanity area.Bed was really comfortable and the room was large.We purchased a food package to eat at the restaurant with our room. Food was excellent, if a little over priced. They didn't credit our bill at first at check out and we had to go back and asked for it to be re-done. Same deal with the luggage cart, except this time my boyfriend let the guy know what he thought about that...

Question: How was the staff?

Great place to stay. Perfect location near Fisherman's Wharf. Easy walking to all of the popular spots and the trolley car. Kind and helpful staff. Very good restaurant. Nice complimentary happy hour at 5pm daily with snacks, beer, wine. Allowed us to meet some new people who were staying there as well. Would stay there again in a hearbeat!

Question: Do you have a good experience?

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Rex for her birthday and the enjoyable experience we had made the occasion even more special. My wife uses her wheelchair in our room, and though the room was a little small, she had no problem wheeling into the bathroom or using the shower. The king-sized bed was comfortable, and the room was clean and welcoming. best of all, for anyone who has been annoyed by traffic noise when staying in the Union Square area, our room was quiet and peaceful and we had two of the best nights' sleep in a hotel that we ever had (we did have a room toward the back of the hotel, the ones near the street might be noisier). The staff was helpful and friendly to a fault, and the breakfast at Cafe Andree located in the hotel itself was wonderful. Except fot the size of the room, i would have given Hotel Rex 5 stars. Located only one block from Union Square, the area has great restraunts and eclectic shopping opportunities. Don't use the valet parking($39 a day), instead park at the Sutter/Stockton garage (two blocks away $36 for two days). Good job Joie de Vivre group, this hotel is a winner. Jim Myers

Question: How can I fix my bed that is very uncomfortable?

I booked a room at the Opal Hotel through Hotwire. It was an excellent value at $69 per night, plus tax. Upon arrival, I was told that it was not possible to get a room with two beds. They only give small rooms with one queen bed to Hotwire customers. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Fine, my friend and I could share a bed for one night, no big deal. The hotel is old but has character. The location is good, right on Van Ness and Geary. The lobby is nice. The room was small but had everything one might need. The bed was not super comfortable and the pillows were not great. We could not figure out why, but there was a very strong and pervasive smell of cigarette smoke coming from the bathroom. The floor was non-smoking and when I inquired about the problem at the front desk, she said the hotel was non-smoking. It was a very bad smell and quite annoying for two non-smokers. We did not try the breakfast (woke up too late) but ate at Mel's Diner, which is connected to the hotel. Pretty convenient. Parking is $25 per night and the garage is connected to the hotel. Also convenient and relatively affordable, as many hotels in SF charge upward of $40 per night for parking. I would recommend this hotel for budget travelers who are looking for a place to sleep and shower and are not expecting or wanting luxurious accomodations.

We did not try the breakfast (woke up too late) but ate at Mel's Diner, which is connected to the hotel. Pretty convenient. Parking is $25 per night and the garage is connected to the hotel. Also convenient and relatively affordable, as many hotels in SF charge upward of $40 per night for parking. I would recommend this hotel for budget travelers who are looking for a place to sleep and shower and are not expecting or wanting luxurious accomodations.

I booked a room at the Opal Hotel through Hotwire. It was an excellent value at $69 per night, plus tax. Upon arrival, I was told that it was not possible to get a room with two beds. They only give small rooms with one queen bed to Hotwire customers. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Fine, my friend and I could share a bed for one night, no big deal. The hotel is old but has character. The location is good, right on Van Ness and Geary. The lobby is nice.

Question: Is the valet parking expensive at the hotel?

The location is good, close to pier 39 and to the cable cars stop. The room was ok with comfortable beds. The car parking is very expensive 49$ per night . We felt that it was a rip off and they should have reduced the rate for hotels guests. There is a public car park near by that charges 25$ per night. Not sure that we would stay there again.

Question: How is the view from this hotel?

Answer: the view was fabulous

<hl> Loved it, the staff was wonderful, the view was fabulous (except unfortunately I was given a supposed "upgrade", like the previous review, watch out for the rooms right next to the elevators, very loud and annoying) other than that, absolutely wonderful! <hl>

Question: What is the quality of staff?

Great hotel in a safe and convenient location in SF. The cable car lines are only a couple blocks' walk. The hotel itself is quite new and all the rooms are bright and airy.

Question: What has been the most terrible hotel in New York?

This hotel was absolutely horrible! I always read trip advisor before staying at a hotel. However, considering we were in San Francisco for a cheer competition, we thought it would be in our best interest to stay at the Whitcomb with the rest of our daughters team. I just could not take it! As we checked in , I thought to myself that the hotel did not seem too bad, the lobby was descent. But oh my goodness....when we went upstairs, it was terrible. I never stayed somewhere like this! The rooms and beds were so small, I wondered how my 6'2" husband would fit in these beds. The shower area was just disgusting! And the smell was just undescribable, it sort of smelled like mildew. I literally began to fell nauseated. This hotel needs to go under serious renovations. I do not recommend this place to anyone. We stayed in this room all of 2 hours and went to the Hilton approximately 5 minutes away. The rate was only $20 more a night. Well worth it! The Hotel Whitcomb has given me a new appreciation for nicer hotels. This website is an awesome source for information concerning any hotel.

Question: How is the staff?

We had a wonderful time at the J.W. Marriott. The staff was top rate, very attentive. For e.g., when we checked in, the computer showed our room was not ready but the staff went to the room personally to check on it and found that it was ready, saving us the wait. I asked for extra hangers for the closet and they were delivered in a matter of minutes. The hotel is in a nice location, and has great amenities inc. their concierge room. We stayed in a room not yet renovated, but still very clean and pleasant.

Question: Is this hotel have wine hour?

Galleria Park is a small boutique hotel in downtown San Francisco. The rooms are small but pleasant. The rooms have individual air conditioning units as well as windows that you can open. There is some street noise....to be expected in a big city. The sounds of trucks on the street in the morning did wake me up -- but I'm a very light sleeper. There is free wireless internet access in the hotel! Each afternoon at 5:30 pm there is a free wine reception in the lobby which was very nice. There is no coffee or tea in the rooms but at 5:00 am each morning there is very nice complementary coffee and tea service in the lobby. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a tiny room set aside with some exercise equipment that serves as a "fitness center". It wasn't that great but I used it anyway. They have an agreement with a nice fitness center in the area but I didn't take advantage of that. The hotel is close to restaurants and shopping. It was a $40 taxi ride from the airport (SFO) to the front door of the hotel. Given the location in downtown San Francisco I was surprised that I only paid $109 per night. They have parking if you need it but it was very expensive, something like $30 per night. I was there on business but I would definitely stay there again for either business or leisure. A previous poster mentioned panhandlers in the area. This is common all over San Francisco.

Question: Is it an excellent stay?

I stayed at the Hilton San Francisco as part of the Team in Training group in town for the 2009 Nike Women's Marathon. The hotel was centrally located to the start line and all the weekend's events. Hotel staff were helpful and friendly, the room was lovely, and they did a fantastic job of seamlessly accomodating thousands of TNT'ers all at once. Our victory party was also held on the premesis and they did a great job managing that as well. Great experience! Would definitely recommend for any large group or convention.

Question: Do you want coffee with sugar?

My husband and I stayed at the Tuscan in for three nights in November. It was our first trip to San Fransisco, and we couldn't have chosen a better spot for a getaway or for an introduction to the city. Right on the wharf and next to the trolley line, the hotel is quiet. The rooms are small but very clean, charmingly decorated with a view of the little flowered courtyard, comfy beds, plenty of pillows & towels and smiling service. Our favorite part of the stay were the fireside evenings with complementary wine & beer for hotel guests, where we met many friendly people from around the world. The whole atmosphere at the Tuscan is warm and comfortable. Morning coffee & biscotti was nice too. Unless you need to spend a lot of money or crave a swanky name, this is the best...an unpretentious little jewel!

Question: How is the view?

Our room was very clean! The beds were really comfy in my opinion with goose down pillows and the sheets were changed every day! Our room was on the 16th floor, which I really LOVED! The view was awesome at night and during the day. The flat screen TV was a nice bonus, too! The bathroom was very clean as well. The hotel was awesome in regards to keeping the noise level down. It felt like we were the only ones there. So quiet and peaceful; the Japanese style sliding doors that covered the glass doors that led to the balcony allowed for virtually no light to peak through so it was very dark at night and kept noise out of the room from outside. The neighborhood seemed very safe. Overall, we really liked this hotel. My two kids and husband enjoyed it just as much as me! I would definitely recommend this hotel again. Just don't pay their $35 a night parking for valet. There is a parking garage adjacent to the hotel for $16 a day, but you have to pay to go in and out. Just park along the street during the day and pay $16 overnight.

Question: How is the view?

We stayed in the Gran Hyatt for four nights last week. Upon arriving at the hotel, I was not pleased with the check-in service. We had to wait 15 minutes to be waited on, then we were told to hold on a minute while the clerk answered the phone. They need a few more clerks for the crowd. Although clean and simple the lobby is pretty boring. There isn't anything but the check-in desk and the elevators. One upstairs, we were very pleased with our room. the room and the bathroom were spacious, comfortable and clean. The best part was the view. We were on the 25th floor and had an amazing view of the bay, Coit tower and Alcatrez. Couldn't have asked for a better room. The bar and restaurant on the top floor offered an amazing view. We had a drink, but couldn't afford anything to eat ;-) There is not free internet in the rooms, or in the business center. It is $5 for 15 mins. The hotel was in an amazing location, right in the middle of Union Square, shopping mecca! Any name brand department store and designer you are looking for is right around the corner.

Question: What room has a lovely view?

Excellent location in downtown SF, overlooking Union Square. The lobby had a modern feel to it and the rooms was large and comfortable. The view from my room (on the 22nd floor) was stunning. The service (especially the concierge) was great. All of this was for a price of about $125 a night, which was very low given the location (at least one other hotel in the area was asking for twice that).
