Great hotel. Most of the staff was great, helpful and knowledgeable. We did have one issue with the restaurant and our bill. One manager on duty was very helpful while the other one did not seem willing to help at all. The desk staff at check in was amazing. The staff the next morning was not quite as good. This is a great place to stay in San Francisco and I would pay the higher prices to stay here again over other hotels in the area. Easy walk to Pier 39, shops, Alcatraz tours, Ghirardelli square, etc. and not a far drive from almost everything else we wanted to do.
