Wonderful service, lovely top floor spa/lounge area. Great convenient location, the only thing I would rate as average is the rooms- they were fine, but felt they needed some updating in terms of decor. Otherwise everything was great.

Comfortable place to stay for a couple of days, and good location to explore the city. Very clean and convenient. Nice staff. You can hear some noise from outside, but nothing that kept us up at night. We would happily stay there again next time we are in San Francisco.
