The room was nice, yet I did detect at times a weird smell. My only complaint is that the bathroom wasn't as nice as I had hoped. Drain was a bit slow, faucet was leaky, and in general the bathroom was the least renovated part of the hotel.
Otherwise, the wine reception is very nice. Although they do serve the same wine every day, so it's more of a "wine drinking" than a "wine tasting".
The location is perfect. Very easy to walk anywhere; close to public transportation, easy to get to/from the airport, and also we took a cab twice which wasn't too bad (no more than $10).
The front desk service was OK. Some of the clerks are super nice and helpful (Vincent) while others were less.
I asked for a quiet room and that's what we got, so I didn't hear any of the garbage trucks or traffic that other reviewers had mentioned.
For $80/night I can't complain about anything. It's very good value for your money.
A word of advise, though, they put a $100 charge on your credit card that will be credited up to 7 days after you check out.
Oh, I was curious to check out their fitness room which they don't really advertise. It's a tiny room with 3 exercise machines. It's pretty ridiculous. So hopefully, walking up and down the hills of San Francisco is enough exercise for you...
