Was very easy to get to. The parking garage was easy to access. The stalls weren't too small. I have an SUV that fit in the stall fine. The clearance is low, so watch out when you open your trunk. The staff were nice. The room was very clean, did not find anything dirty about it. It's on a the main street so there is a lot of sounds.

I didn’t like the fact that the desk would not give me a bottle of water when requested. I spend alot of money to stay here and. Piked get a free bottle of water when the vending machine was not working. Just one bottle of water for a thirsty customer.

Amazing city and bay views
Amazing views of the city and the bay from 23rd floor. Friendly and helpful reception counter staff. Helped us get a 7-day visitor MUNi pass for the cable car system. Location at California and van Ness was perfect for cable car access to all venues and tourist sights. Only downside was no recycling bins in the room.

Room was good, some noise (doors slamming as a family had two rooms and visited each other frequently). Dining options very limited, at breakfast you had limited choices other than expensive buffet, almost like they were forcing you to do buffet. We were on 20th floor so street noise was minimal but can see how it would be issue at lower levels. Area was okay, some harmless homeless and some trash on sidewalks but lots of dining options as well.

Good initially
Impressive on arrival and check in. Room interior good though slightly small with a fantastic view (25th floor). Buffet breakfast well presented but $30 per person?? Dining menu for the rest of the day was limited and repetitive as other than the "daily special" nothing else changed during our stay. On two evenings the dining area was cordoned off for Air China staff use only leaving a smaller area for other guests - we only actually saw one person use the area. When arriving to eat, we were asked to prepay for our meals and drinks so the gratuity was paid before experiencing the quality of service, not the dining practice we are used to.
