Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was clean except for the lamp shades. It would be nice if the TV allowed you to stream your Netflix or Prime account through it. We stayed there before a procedure at Sutter San Carlos which was very convenient. However even though the front desk person was great and put us in a quiet room, with it being so close to the rail tracks I could hear the trains all night. Not a problem if you live in a city but noisier than where we came from.
