As someone else recently said, the rooms have great views, but the hotel is a bit tired. We snagged a Bloomspot deal for $169 a night, and for that I think it was great. I'm not sure I would pay the regular rate though.
We were lucky to be able to check in early and had a top floor room with fantastic views of Huntington Park and the Bay. Since it's situated on top of Nob Hill I'd imagine most of the views are good, and it's an easy walk downhill to the waterfront (but I'd suggest a cab back up!).
The room was rather large, but the bathroom was a bit small and the showerhead was very low (and I'm only 5'5"). The bed was comfortable, but everything looked a little old. We also had a hard time regulating the temperature and had to open to window most of the time we were there to keep the room cool enough (even though the temperature outside never got above 65).
Bottom line is that with a deal, it's worth it, but at full price, I think I'd pass.
