The Best thing about the property is the location. I can overlook its noisy rooms and out dated decor, because you can't ask for better location.

Good location for tourists. Rooms nice and comfortable. Hoped to get a room with Bay view like in the marketing photos, but faced interior instead. Restaurant was really limited and mediocre given how great Bay Area food can be.
