We had a corner view room 1801. Great views. Could see Alcatraz prison. Clean and comfortable room. Double glazed windows that don’t open so you rely on air conditioning. Buffet breakfast was top quality and included fresh fruit. We used the restaurant for dinner one night and prices were reasonable and serving sizes were large. Great location on Nob Hill with the cable car down to town right beside the hotel. We would stay again if in town.
