This place is friendly, has more amenities than a typical courtyard and is walkable to a lot of downtown, moscone center, chinatown and union square attractions. Very nice fitness center for a courtyard. Contemporary urban vibe and happy staff. Great value. More

This hotel was close to the convention center. Clean rooms, comfortable bed and free wifi - all the basics that are needed for a comfortable business trip. The rooms are spacious, taxis are frequently available and its less than a half a mile to union square. I would pass on the buffet breakfast and go somewhere else but its was... More

Nice hotel; nice lobby with bar and restaurant. Rooms were comfortable and had a love seat for TV watching. Beds are comfortable but would have preferred better pillows (flat foam pillows seem to be the standard). TV signal would cut in and out (must have been a satellite dish issue). Starbucks in the lobby is a plus; so is the... More

Location: 3 blocks from Moscone Convention Center, few blocks from museums, Embarcadero, Union Square, major shopping and restaurants. Lobby: nice and efficient, concierge is very helpful and mostly knowledgeable about the city, front desk is friendly and accommodating. Cons - no help at curbside with luggage. Restaurant: breakfast is buffet style only - quite inconvenient, Starbucks in the lobby has... More

This hotel is a few blocks west of the Moscone Convention Center. I stayed there for a conference. It was clean & comfortable. The only criticism is the paper thin walls. This seems to be the standard in all hotels these days. The wifi worked ok most of the time, sometimes it was basically unusable. That would be one area... More

I’ve been there in September 2011 with a friend. The hotel is in a good location, 10 min walk from Union Square and Market Street and not very far from the Embarcadero. The hotel is clean and comfortable, rooms are large, beds are comfortable and there is free wi-fi in each room. The staff was great and helpful. There is... More

The hotel, by and large, was good. Good location, glad to have the free wi-fi, but the room had a very awkward setup (TV faced away from the bed, and not at the couch, bathroom had a lot of underutilized space). Service was fine, though they told us to call for the valet and when we called no one answered,... More

This hotel is comfortable, well appointed, rooms are large, beds comfortable. The towels are reminiscent of a travelodge....not what you expect for $279.00 a night. Front desk and valet service superb. The food is good, the drinks average, and service in the lounge and restaurant is terrible. The business services are totally lacking, use of a computer, that doesn't access... More

Even if you... More
