Literally every public transportation option is at it's front door. At the back door you find the Ferry Building and it's excellent weekly farmers market. The Embarcadero mall and movie theater is right next door. It's really quite convenient and without the crowds of say a Union Square area hotel.
The hotel itself is sort of interesting as all the rooms open unto a 17 story atrium which was decorated quite nicely for Christmas. They also have glass elevator "modules" that offer a nice view. My early check in was granted politely and efficiently. The room was "standard business attire" with big comfy bed and flat screen TV. Internet is 10 $ a day. Nice minibar albeit very expensive and they warned that even trying to store your own cold beverages, candy etc would incur a charge as the sensors would know. Kind of ridiculous.
The rug was very dirty if you looked close enough and the windows were not even close to being sealed or soundproof which made the room a bit noisy as it faced Market st. There was also one morning where the water was brown which I don't ever recall seeing in what is supposed to be a 4 star hotel.
I would probably stay again but would not pay over 100$ per night.
