7.1 Good
Pros:Location was fine and room was clean.Liked the fact that you need your key to access the lobby (you feel safer). had a room in the back, so did not hear too much noise. Front desk staff was super nice, friendly and helpful. Very good Tapas restaurant a door down
Cons:Stairs and elevators were not that clean, so I got worried about the room. But the room was good, very very small but perfect for attending a conf in SF. wash clothes and more drinking water would have been nice
