I spent four days at the Westin. Hotel is about 33 stories and is located just off Market street in the center of downtown San Francisco. The city is small and can be walked easily but being in the center is that much more convenient.
The entry is ordinary. Check in was under staffed so took a little longer than it should. Bell station was also under staffed. Staff were polite.
Room was nice. Bed was very comfortable. Beautiful view of the city through a floor to ceiling window. Desk area was well set up for serious computing. However, be aware, that like other expensive hotels there is a substantial fee to use wired or wireless internet (best going down the street to Starbucks and getting the service for free). Internet is free for platinum members but not Gold members (I have been an SPG Gold member for years but cannot recall any special perks that come with it). There is even a charge to print out an airline ticket in the business area (I logged on via my Blackberry and printed the ticket at the airport rather than paying such unreasonable fees). LCD TV with HBO and many channels. Had Starbucks coffee in the room. Bathroom was spacious enough.
I had room service and ate in the restaurant. The service was very good, the food was also very good but the assortment was limited.
I paid $234/nt internet rate. Overall, nothing particularly special or annoying about this hotel.
