Service from front desk before check in the evening of was not good. After check in, it was much better. You will first need your hotel check in parking ticket thing to access the parking lot or else the lot will VERY rudely turn you away! The offsite valet parking is a very fair price for the city/area however. Convenient location for shopping and cable cars, which go right by the front of the hotel. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee and cookies at the lobby. Lots of hotels in the area, but it didn’t feel safe walking around the area in the evening looking for a restaurant for a late dinner. I am from a much bigger city and didn’t expect to feel so unnerved walking there at night. I would not want to do so alone, especially as a woman.
