Great location. A few minute walk to public transportation. There’s a cable car stop on the north corner. Dozens of restaurants within a five minute walk. Our room was on the 9th floor with a great view to the east. The room was a standard king. A little smaller that you might expect but it’s San Francisco and space is limited. In room fridge, coffee maker, and safe. Nice room and common areas.
