Stayed there for four nights in early November during the Hotel workers strike. Was woken up at 6 AM every day (even though we were on the 15th floor!) by striking (or locked out) workers with drums and airhorns. Luckily I am from the East Coast so was used to getting up early. Even with the strike and reduced workforce the service at the hotel was very good and did not notice a drop off which is a credit to those that were working the double shifts. THe hotel itself is a very nice hotel with a beautiful and very, very large atrium with numerous places to sit and relax, have a drink or do some work. The location is right along the Embarcadero waterfront by the Farmer's Market/Ferry Building with views of the Bay Bridge. Pier 39 and Fisherman's wharf are a nice walk/street car ride to the north while the Union Square shopping district is just a mile or less up market street (again can be walked in 20 minutes or you can take the subway, bus or trolley car). China Town is close too. We did not have a car (parking is $45 per day) and never needed one with plentiful modes of transportation. The rooms are very nice and large for hotel rooms with a unique angle to them. Food choices are plentiful for all meals and there is a Walgreens right across the street for those items you might have left at home.

The big drawbacks are noise from the city is heard throughout the night even with ear plugs and the fan on. The walls are pretty thin as we could always hear the neighbors TV until late at night. Finally, be careful with the wet bars. Everytime you open it even to look in it you get charged. I kept my own water and milk in there and had $80 worth of refreshment charges on my bill that I had to fight to get taken off.

If all you want is a bed for the night, and you get a good deal from Priceline, and you don't mind staying in a cavernous, characterless place that specializes in mega-conventions, and for some reason you're wowed by a pointlessly large atrium -- then by all means, go for it!

I think with a bit of effort, there are probably better, more memorable places to stay in SF.

We stayed there from sept 27 to oct 3. The hotel staff started striking about middle of our stay which we understand not much can be done by the hotel staff. However, the 2nd day after strike began, we found our room door opened/unlocked when we got back in the evening, after being gone from 8 am!! We called front desk right away and the guy did not even apologize!! Just said "room service had a rough day, as you know, because of the strike"!! They did call security and they apologized but they said there's nothing they can do?! Luckily my luggages were still in the room. You would think that security is basic at all hotels and we are talking about Hyatt....will NOT recommend at all!

Nothing special. We stayed at the Orchard, then switched to the Hyatt. The Orchard Hotel blew the Hyatt out of the water. The Hyatt, I thought, was nothing special. The room was small, and the bedspread was gross and 'old' looking.

Wouldn't stay here on my own dime. The atrium/lobby is a remrkable feature but nothing else worth the price, unless you get a good view. My eighth floor view to the south wasn't much. Some wrote $42/day to park. I paid $28 in June.

Couldn't get the local sports station in my room to watch an A's game so I went to the bar and they didn't get it there either. The bartender could hardly understand what I wanted and had to surf the channels to see if he got it. Pretty lame for a high priced joint.
