I am writing this review to say the man at the front desk, Avril, is very professional. Me and my sister came to him about an charge on my sister's card and he handle it perfectly. He did go above and beyond with providing breakfast vouchers for the remainder of our stay. I plan on booking this hotel for my birthday because the rooms are spacious and comfy and if you book a premier view, the bay view on a sunny day is amazing!

Check in was fast. Shout out to Armando who gave me an upgrade to the best corner room with a view! The room was clean and spacious. The bed was super comfy! Major assistance with the jet lag. There was a coffee maker in the room with Coffee bean and tea leaf pods. The conditioner absolutely made my hair shiny. There was a ref and wine opener for my wine. The bar served great cokcktails and delicious buffalo wings. Robert was super helpful with the bags. I would come back with my family for the room good for 4 despite being a solo traveler this time. ❤️

Leaving another review because I had such a great experience at this hotel. Averell checked me in again and was able to upgrade me to a higher floor. I also had a chance try out the restaurant this time. Based on Averell's recommendation I tried the cheeseburger and it exceeded my expectations. Amy was my server and she was great. She was very attentive and friendly. Overall I had another great experience and will be back again soon!

Fantastic service, especially Tony on the bar. He gave great advice on San Francisco and was very friendly. We were there a few days and each time he asked us about our day. The food was excellent and the room was extremely well appointed and comfortable. We loved it so much we have changed our plans, so as to stay there on the last night of our current trip. Also in a great location to explore San Francisco

Expensive. No attendant at time of check in at oddly designed/laid out check in desk. No hot water during shower 2 hour delay for bellhop at check out No cover on duvet - sandwiched between 2 sheets - yuck. Asked for rollaway and crib at time of reservation as we were traveling with children and neither were in the room at time of check in - we made reservations with hotel directly - this should have been on our reservation. Rude young blond front desk attendant and the uniform is jeans - which seems like a strange choice aesthetically

Loved this hotel! Everyone from the valet, the front desk, and especially Tony at the bar was outstanding. All the windows in our room made the space bright and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Would definitely stay here again! Be sure to say hi to Tony at the bar — he is perhaps the best bartender we’ve ever had.

Immediately Averell, our lobby host, greeted us with all smiles for our 18th Anniversary. Once he caught wind we were upgraded. Thank you! The rooms were spacious, best views of the Bay and beds were COMFY! Go say hi to Tony at the bar! A+ for us When you step out you are literally at the Cable Car line downtown or the route to the wharf. Tons of stops on the way. So many walking points. China town, Tonga room, Nob Hill. We will be back!

I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel! Averell who works at the front desk was exceptionally inviting and informative. I explained to him that It's been a while since I’ve been to the city and he was so kind to prescribe a few eating spots and venues to visit. He even upgraded my room with a beautiful view! Wish I had stayed a bit longer, but I’m definitely coming back to this hotel that has a wonderful staff and great service!
