Wonderful relaxing and spotless hotel. The staff was extremely competent and also were ready to help. Bright room with climate control, flat screen TV with cable channels and a safe box. The jazz bar was fantastic.

Complimentary breakfast, spotless place, splendid views. Welcoming staff, provided personalised service and were happy to help. Stylish furniture, I greatly enjoyed the comfortable bed. Extraordinary hotel in San Francisco, very convienient location within short walking distance to nob hill. And only 20 minutes walking to downtown.

Facilities were convenient, but Wi-Fi was bad.

Astonishing breakfasts, very very helpful staff.

Reasonably priced, room was welcoming and airy.
