One cannot deny how wonderfully located this hotel is. It's atop Nob Hill, and if you request a park view, you will get an amazing view of the bay and Grace Cathedral. When we first arrived, it was weird, there was no doorman there to receive us, as we wanted to use valet parking. Oh well, we just drove down a 100 ft and parked at the lot near the hotel, the Nob Hill Center Garage. *Note, when their sign says that the hotel validates parking, its not for overnight guests but only for spa guests who pay $15 for 3 hours. We stayed here for a celebration and because of a great deal from Bloomspot. We had a deluxe room on the ninth floor overlooking the park. The room could have benefited from an update, as the furniture looked a bit scratched. The bed was comfy, sheets were soft and clean and in the evening we received a nice turn down service. Again, the bathroom could be updated to the new millennium, though it was very clean. The walls were a bit thin, as we could hear folks talking normally in the hallway. We took advantage of the pool/spa amenities. We were given slippers and a robe and shown to our lockers. Although we didn't receive spa treatments we floated around the pool. The pool could have been about 5 degrees warmer, but if you just stayed below the surface of the water, it was bearable. We also decided to splurge on room service for the continental breakfast. My husband wanted the continental breakfast and all i wanted was fruit. It asked how many of each serving a guest would like to request and he put down two toasts and two croissants. because of this, we were charged two continental breakfasts because he just wanted an extra croissant and slice of bread! Not cool. We tried to explain this, but the hotel refused to take out this extra cost.
So this is why I'm giving this place three stars. From this particular experience, the hotel's only saving grace was the location and the fabulous view. But quite honestly, we could have had a nicer experience somewhere else. Sorry Huntington Hotel.
