I thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and customer service of the staff and hospitality crews. However, it was very warm in my room. It was as if the window unit A/C could not keep up with the temperature outside of the building.

Cons (-) They have a bar and they serve dinner in the bar that has like two tables of 2 and the rest of the seating is at the bar.

Pros (+) Location
Pros (+) The location was great. Close to Powell station which made it easy to get to the hotel using BART. Union square was a block away and the turnaround for the cable car was a couple blocks away too.

Cons (-) HIDDEN FEES! Parking is $75/day ($36/day just down the street), they tried to charge me all kinds of "convience fees" at check out with out telling me. If you pay on here, make sure to check your credit card. Our room was on the Powell Street and the windows did not block out any sounds. Car horns, yelling, music, etc. all night. The "curtains" did not close, and the wooden blinds let in plenty of...
