I appreciated being within walking distance of the embarcadero. Front desk was very accommodating. Would have liked some add'l amenities like hand cream and herbal tea bags in the room. Also I had to plug the coffee pot in the bathroom to heat up water. Balcony could have been cleaner. Can't leave anything on it or seagulls arrive and get curious!

Place is clean and spacious in a good location. They discontinued breakfast which was a bit if an inconvenience because I didn’t have the time to get breakfast elsewhere. I booked through expedia and it currently says breakfast is included. Not sure if expedia is to blame or the hotel. Had I known breakfast was not an option, I would have planned accordingly.

Will not stay again. Tried calling hotel 3x to confirm a late check in, no answer. Left a message and hours later, I finally got a call. I was literally 20 minutes away, I had better hopes for check in only to be told their elevator was broken and she had to manually close the door. She could barely walk and was clearly annoyed she had to address this issue. Unless this was a ‘bad day’ there needs to be some retraining . Side note: There was no other ADA option for the 3 story building.
