This is such an excellent and clean property. Everything from the lobby, to the rooms, to the hallways, just extremely clean. Location is great depending on what you’re in town for. Walking distance to the malls and Union Square.

This is such a lovely hotel -- it absolutely exceeded my expectations. Things I loved: -- The hotel is new (I heard it opened 6 months ago?) and it shows in how nice and clean the facilities are. I got a beautifully designed, modern room. I originally received a room facing construction and they were happy to switch it to a room with a beautiful view of the city. -- All of the staff was so kind, friendly, and helpful. -- They have an ADORABLE robot butler named Henry! The staff sent him up with a complimentary cookie shaped like the robot itself. He makes cute, R2D2-like noises when he drops off your stuff and asks you how your stay went. This was definitely a highlight of my stay. -- They give you a voucher for a free wine or beer to redeem at the rooftop bar. -- They have a nice cafe next to the lobby where they serve Craftsman & Wolves pastries. The design is so airy and open, and the cafe is very quiet and serene. -- Great location, right next to Oracle Park, only 15 min drive to SFO. The surrounding area is super safe and within walkable distance of lots of nice restaurants and cafes.

The location was great, 10 min walk to the Ferry Building and 5 min to Chinatown. The room was gorgeous with a cool classic look. The beds were super comfortable. The staff was outstanding, they were on top of our needs and offered great recommendations and insights about any question we had.

    Unless your children are very young (under 8 or 10) expect to be there most of the day. Not of interest for little ones. There are lockers at the entrance for 2quarters each time you open the locker. There is a change machine that provides quarters only. Bring lunch, snacks and water! And kids should dress in layers. There are some areas where they'll work up a sweat.
