San Francisco, always the City!
A great hotel and people with a seriously questionable policy of security (or lack thereof) in their guest garage. Overall, staff is very good and so is the hotel. The stay was colored by our car being vandalized in their garage, as was another car about 6 spaces away from ours.

Half satisfied
My stay could have been excellent if a couple of front desk clerks were more customer friendly. When we brought up a problem with our room, a female receptionist had an attitude and she needs to be retrained to be in that position. And another male receptionist also was not friendly either. We felt as if we were taking to a robot.

The stay was nice and the room was nice with the view. The sheets never got changed, none of the trash was taking out. The pool should of has more warm water so people could use it.

They helped me out with my car. I got in late after 2:00 a.m.. all the parking lots were closed and I had a roof rack carrier. They were very helpful.
