We stayed here on the final stage of our honeymoon and having streched the budget for 5* up to now decided not to downgrade, we weren't disappionted. This feels like an historic hotel and is very grand inside. The staff were welcoming and upgraded us without our asking, a great start!
The hotel is quite expensie, including drinks and good, but you are paying for the grandeur, we thought it was worth it. The only downside is the location, Nobb Hill is a little out of the way on the holl overlooking the bay, great for views of the bridge and the rock, but it does mean you can't walk out of the hotel and straight into a bar or resturant. Having said that there is a street car stop right outside so getting around is easy enough. Union square is walkable from the hotel as it's downhill, but getting back from the there is strenous exercise if you aren't in a cab / street car.
We would definatley stay again were we ever lucky enough to return to this fantastic city!
