Great location for a San Fran weekend getaway!

Staff service was great - tried to check in early (room not ready - so west shopping on Market St - only a few short blocks away) and staff called me as promised when room was ready. Very clean and well planned out room. Late check out was a breeze (negotiated a small fee for 6pm checkout - to grab a shower after Folsom St Fair before an 8:30pm flight). Nice sized gym - although couple of the machines need maintenance (hence the lower score for Amenities). Great bar and restaurant service - terriffic fish meal for dinner and breakfast buffet was exceptional.

VERY comfortable accomodations!

I found these rooms to be among the most comfortable of any I have stayed in. Lots of room to store, hang and PUT THINGS ON TOP OF. Clean, good light, good staff. One big error in design: bathrooms have smoked glass in their big sliding door...and one can not use the bathroom without illuminating the rest of the dark bedroom. Makes it impossible to leave one person asleep while the other uses the bathroom. Closet lights up, too, when door is opened, and it also disturbs sleeping partner. Otherwise, fine room.

Great Hotel

I loved this place!! I was given and corner room on the 16th floor. Had a great view of San Fran. Room was spacious. Great towels, nice flat screen tv. Ice bucket was filled up every night when I got back to my room. Hotel Staff is the best!! They gave great walking directions to ATT Park, (about 1 mile away). Also very close to a BART Station. (2 1/2 blocks). Pool and hot tub were great. Only bad part of hotel is parking is $52 a night. I would stay here again!
