Booked this hotel through Hotwire and would have been sorely disappointed if we had paid full price for this location. The hotel itself has been updated and the rooms are very nicely decorated and clean...but my goodness are they ever small!!! The first room we were given upon check in was literally locker sized with a twin bed and only a stand up shower that I would have had to crouch to use. We asked if we could move to a room with a larger bed and the desk staff were very accommodating and friendly. We were upgraded to a King bed overlooking Geary Street. The room was again small enough that we had to take turns to move from one side of the room to another, but at least there was a tub to stand in for the shower. The problem came when we tried to settle down for the night. The sounds from the street were so loud that we could have sworn the traffic was right in the room with us. From the homeless person drumming until 10:30 on the corner to the non stop parade of garbage trucks and delivery vehicles throughout the ENTIRE night, we barely got any sleep.
The advantage this hotel provides is easy access to the shopping district which is literally right outside your door. If you want to be in the heart of downtown while still having easy access to the rest of the city then this is not a bad option...just be prepared to use your room as a stopping place only....and ask for a room away from the street.
