Stayed here for two nights with my wife and granddaughter. We were given a room with a view of the bay and a peak of Alcatraz. We arrived and were greeted politely by the doorman. The lobby was large, clean and the front desk staff was excellent.
We were assigned a room with a king and used a rollaway for the GD. They offered us two full's but I said I would kill my wife if we had to sleep on such a small bed.
Three elevators and they all worked. Clean halls, newer hallway carpets and well lit.
Our room was clean overlooked California Street with its cable car line. Yes it is a little noisy but you are in the city. If you want a quieter room get one of the interior rooms they will be very quite but you will not have a view unless the guest across the way is cute.
Rooms in SF are small. We were OK with the rollaway but it was a little snug. The tub and toilet are in a separate area off the main bathroom but I didn't like the louvered door separating the sink and closet area with the main room. It should be a solid door.
The shower had great pressure but if you are any taller than 5-8 (me) it is very low. It looked like they ran out of pipe or made a big mistake on measuring. But it worked well and I got along.
The rooms were clean, well lit, updated and quite expect for the exterior noise.
We used the club lounge several times. They served breakfast with eggs, oatmeal, various fruits and pastries. Good coffee and OJ. They have yogurt and milk, sodas, water available all day. At night they had a cold plate, desserts etc. We get free access so this feature saved us a few $ at breakfast.
PARKING IS OUTRAGOUSE IN SF. 52.00 per night 6 of that is taxes. It is expensive all over town and you will be very lucky to find a street park. I saw parking rates from 6.00 to 9.00 per hour. So be prepared. There were cheaper places to park about two blocks away but that lacks convenience and on rainy days not very fun.
This was a good hotel overall. At the top of Nob Hill so you are not in the hustle of Union Square where some of the other Marriott's are.
