Not overly impressed. Grand entrance and lobby.
It is located right on the top of Nob Hill so be aware if you choose to walk a lot there are some very steep hills!
Had a standard double bed room with a window view out to the interior of the hotel - only saw hotel utilities out of the window.
Wi-Fi is NOT free. Be aware of this beforehand. We thought it might just come standard, but it is US$13.95 for 24 hours use. We had to use this for one day but disappointed it did not come free like most hotels. Wish we had researched this first. Did not use room service, menu seemed quite expensive. Also there was a fee associated with using the hotel gym - another disappointment - not sure how much, so did not use.
Room was spacious enough for a couple. Good bathroom and shower. Bed was a little small.
If you stay here you HAVE to go to the Tonga room which is part of the hotel. It's Tongan cuisine as the name suggests with great cocktails, live band that sit on a boat in a pool in the middle of the restaurant! Also every half hour or so there are 'thunderstorms' where water pours from the ceiling into the pool. Pretty cool. You can charge it to your room, and when my wife and I turned up we didn't have a booking and they said we could have cocktails at the bar and wait. But then they asked if we were staying at the hotel, which we were, and they led us straight to a table! So good service and worth using it if you're staying at the hotel.
