    stunning views
    modern amenities
    loud air conditioning
    elevator delays
    wi-fi issues

    The hotel offers a great location. just steps from the cable car line, making it super easy to explore the city. The views from my King Room with Grand View were truly stunning. The room itself was spacious and clean, with modern amenities like a fridge and coffee maker. I loved being able to relax in comfort after a long day of sightseeing. Housekeeping services kept everything tidy and fresh. However, the air conditioning unit was quite loud and disrupted my sleep at times. Elevators sometimes took longer to arrive, which was annoying during busy hours. I also faced some Wi-Fi connection issues that made it tricky to plan my day. Despite these hiccups, the friendly staff added a nice touch to the experience. They helped me with my luggage and provided useful tips for nearby restaurants.

    delayed check-in
    rude staff

    The location was convenient for touring. The rooms had good views. The staff at breakfast provided friendly service, which stood out amidst the less pleasant experiences with others.

    Check-in was delayed, and the front desk staff displayed a lack of courtesy. The check-out process was also dismissive and unhelpful.

    Great location for family trips, close to public transport and restaurants. The hotel features fast elevators and clean, comfortable rooms. The children enjoyed the spacious room and the views from the 21st floor were fabulous.

    Air conditioning was a bit loud.

    great location
    spectacular view
    convenient cable car
    missing water bottles
    limited dining options

    The location was fantastic, more convenient than a remote control for the TV—just steps away from the cable car that can whisk you to Fisherman's Wharf. Plus, the view from my room was like a postcard come to life, showcasing the beautiful San Francisco skyline.

    No complimentary water bottles

    The hotel has a great location and comfortable rooms, but the overpriced parking and inconsistent service were frustrating. The restaurant staff could be more polite, and the check-in process was a hassle. Overall, it has potential, but customer service needs improvement.

    The view from the 20th floor was absolutely breathtaking! 🌅 The room was spacious and clean, perfect for my family of four. The only downside was the pricey breakfast options nearby.
