Great location

Great location. Have stayed here several times over the years so have seen it in different designs. This time was the least desirable. Only one of three elevators worked and really awful carpet in the hallways should be replaced. The room and bed were comfortable enough. Would still return here for the location and good price but long for the days when it was a “grand” hotel.

The hotel staff could have done more during our stay. The receptionist was very polite, able to speak to us in a timely manner. House keeping staff was very friendly and understanding if we wanted to stay long in our room. Lovy hotel, shame about the lifts not working but the hotel allowed us to use the service lifts.

Most elevators were not working, and at times all of them were out of order. We had to use the service elevator or at times we’re told to use the Stairs!! You would think with this inconvenience they would wave the $75 a day valet parking for a hotel that doesn’t even offer self parking.

The rooms were nice and the location was great. The big issue is they had elevator problems. When we got there only one worked then it was being worked on and we had to use the service elevator. They did not have stairs that we could use.

No working elevators !!!

Hotel has 3 elevators only one of them worked on and off , the entire hotel was directed to one working service elevator the lines to use were long and it took 10-15 minutes to get an elevator everytime . The front desk lied to everyone saying it would be fixed but I was told that the elevators need to be replaced but money is tight since Covid so the project is being put off . The hotel states it’s luxury when in fact it’s not , don’t stay here unless you want to be waiting on elevators each time for 10-15 minutes . Also the parking is misleading and charges a valet fee even if you park your car and don’t use it , after stating it was a flat fee. Poor mgt , poor conditions to many nicer places to stay for the money . Avoid !!!!!!

The hotel rooms are spacious (we stayed twice during our trip - 4 nights in a bay view room which had stunning skyline and distant bay views and 2 nights in an atrium view room which was smaller but still spacious). The bay view rooms are on the outside of the hotel so we could hear the clanking of the cable cars but this didnt keep us awake. The atrium room was very quiet. We didnt hear any noise from within the hotel in either rooms. The beds were very comfortable. The layout of the check in/reception was a bit odd - it looked like temporary work stations but the staff were very friendly and helpful. Its a short walk downhill to Union Square and places to eat but a slower walk back up! We really enjoyed the stay here and would recommend it. Its very convenient for the cable cars and China Town.

Location is ok, the hotel itself needs a bit work. We booked 2 different rooms and none had water. Could be way cleaner, the shower and the bed felt really dirty. Also one of the bed was broken in our room so it wasnt comfortable. The food at the restaurant is not good as well.
