Great location, friendly staff, and very comfy beds. The California St trolley is right around the corner, and Fisherman's Wharf only a 10 minute drive away. Parking is expensive at $40 per night, and the $30 breakfast buffet is overpriced and really underwhelming. The pancakes were hard as a rock, and there are no soft drinks available. We felt ripped off after eating there. Go around the corner to Grubstake Diner for a real breakfast at a fraction of the cost. Other than the (very) overpriced restaurant, this is a great hotel. We would definitely stay again.

Liked: Staff & service
The good stuff: The pillows & bed were comfortable. Room was on the 8th floor, close to the end of the hall. Decent view. It was quiet. We didn’t have any issues with the heat or anything in the room. It was nice that shampoo/conditioner and body wash are provided. The front desk did allow a late check out which helped since our flight was early evening. A few times we ordered from Door Dash or Uber eats & plasticware was not included. The hotel staff was always helpful in providing those as well as change for the washer/dryer. The complaints: Hotel washers/dryers are expensive. It cost nearly $10 to wash/dry a load. The restaurant was pricey & had a very limited selection of food. **BREAKFAST IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE ROOM** Would have been great if the hotel had an indoor pool or hot tub. We came in March and it was chilly outside during the day and night. Overall, I would recommend the hotel as a good place to stay. It would be nice to have had breakfast included in the price of the room. The hotel is a little outdated & could use some updated furniture/decorations. The bed and pillows were very comfortable.
