All of the staff were very friendly. Jacks restaurant downstairs was excellent, especially the breakfast. 👏 We ate there once for dinner (Kobe beef sliders and Calzone) and three times for breakfast (omelet and Eggs Benedict and French Toast). There was a mixup in the beginning with the rooms (wrong room type and were not available till 5pm). But overall a great experience.

When I made the reservation they told me my room had a balcony, when I get there I get a room 381 next to the loudest sliding guest door in the building and no balcony couldn’t sleep because of it thanks for ruining my stay. Constant opening and closing a nightmare location.

Or opinion it was not worth the $400 per night average day and up. It’s a nice facility but older you can hear people walking by and opening and closing their room doors. The rooms were clean the linens were clean. You are really just paying for location the rooms are just average, considering what you have to pay. I would stay here again only if I really had to and there was no other lodging available.

Front desk staff was very welcoming, pleasant, and helpful. Beautiful and comfortable lobby area with plenty of seating, a reading room with a selection of art and design books, and a computer and printing room my kids loved. The property is so welcoming for dogs and I was happy to see so many well-behaved guest dogs with their owners throughout the hotel. The property is SO much closer to Fisherman’s Wharf than I had realized and surrounded by a wide variety of dining snd shopping options. The beds and pillows are SO comfortable and the room was unexpectedly quiet. It’s one of the quitest nights I’ve had in a hotel room ever. Spacious bathroom, nice lighting options in the room. We did not use the pool but it looked great and we’ll try it out next time we visit.

Our room was next to the maids closet, it was noisy and the hotel was so large you had to hike down multiple hallways. I asked for a ground floor room and got a 4th floor room. The pics of this hotel look way nicer than the reality.
