We recently stayed at the Pier 5 for a business convention. My company had arranged a special rate of $209. I understand regular rates can be much higher than this. Generally when I travel I try not to pay more than $150 for a room unless it's a special occasion like my honeymoon where I paid $300 for a room at a Hyatt. This was not even close to Hyatt quality. The room was ok, but showing some wear and no different than a $100 a night Hampton Inn. In addition the staff was not near as helpful as most high end hotels, and my room key had to be re-keyed twice. You are paying for location at the Pier 5, and definitely paying too much.
