Great getaway

A lot of walking in San Fran. Don't even bother driving cause you'll just park your car and it's very expensive. Very interesting places to go and places to eat everywhere.

that will be extra

Hotel was expensive and didn't include anything beyond a room; spa, shuttle, internet -- everything was extra. There was always a bellman to keep the homeless folks out of the entry area. Next time I would stay at an express where I could at least catch a continental breakfast before heading to the conference without dropping another $20 at Sarbucks. If you aren't on a budget it's a nice place to stay, but if you are you should look at some other places.

Great price for the location

We stayed for just one night to go out to the local clubs. The hotel was very acommodating and helped us find food that delivered and even came up to the room and opened our wine for us. The only complaint that I have is that self parking is $45 a day for hotel guests. There was a parking garage across the street for $30 a day but you have to carry your bags.

The club Infusion is just around the corner and resembles a smaller version of a Vegas club.

Great Service, great room!

Great location in Union square. Easy access to muni, shopping and all tourist attractions. Awesome Irish House pub and restaurant less than one block away. Dueling Piano on Wednesday and Thursdays. Staff very professional. Allowed us early check-in with no hassel. Great luggage service. Our flight was much later than our check out. Hilton held our luggage while we took one last stroll through the city.
