Stayed here recently for a couple nights in mid-July 08 based upon the highly positive TripAdvisor feedback.
OVERALL
The Parc 55 is ok. It's not terrible and it does the basics fine. However, if you're expecting a "nice" hotel I recommend you look elsewhere. In particular, checkout the Intercontinental San Francisco which is only a couple blocks away offering similar pricing but a much nicer and new building, decor and rooms.
THE GOOD
Very central location. Express checkout.
THE BAD
The broadband in this hotel was shockingly slow. Remember 128k ISDN speeds? That's what I was getting in this hotel. Totally unacceptable for a business traveler.
The hotel is just plain dumpy. Decor in the lobby, halls and rooms is ok but not nice.
Overall, it's an ok value but I do believe better options are nearby for similar pricing. I'm unlikely to return.
