Excellent location and views of SF

I love staying in this hotel when I come to San Francisco. Great location, amazing views (worth paying extra for a high up floor facing the sea side) and the heated pool. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Hope to be back soon!

Nice stay. Great city view. Elevator was confusing. They didn’t say you needed to scan your room card in the elevator then press the floor number. Took a few random floors for someone to show us. Also have not received my deposit back. It’s been a week. Usually receive it back a lot faster than this.
