My husband and I enjoyed staying here for 3 nights over Memorial weekend.
The location couldn't have been better. Easy walking distance to North Beach, China Town, across the street from the Ferry Building (love the Sat. farmers market) but away from the hustle and bustle of Union square (though still walkable). We booked our room through priceline for $91 per night and when we checked in they offered an upgrade to
the Regency rooms for $70. We declined but requested a room on a high floor and facing Market Street. We were then told that the highest floor available was the 2nd floor. I went to check out the room, it was room 218 and was dark and small. I went back down to the front desk and talked to another staff member about changing our room. She found a room on the 9th floor-room 921 and then proceeded to tell me that they usually don't allow people to change rooms! Unbelievable. We always use Priceline to book a hotel in San Francisco and have stayed in this hotel at least 6 times and have never encountered any type of attitude from the staff. Well, room 921 turned out to be a great room. It was large and had a fantastic view of the bay and Ferry building. I do think the rooms are a bit dated and the carpets definitely need to be replaced but its one thing to pay $91 per night and another to pay $300 per night .The bed was super comfortable and we slept very soundly (hardly any street noise!) If you are staying here, either park in the Embarcadero parking lot on Drumm/Clay street or the Golden Gate garage on Clay and Davis st. (I think Sat parking is $7 per day but check their website, there is also some information for this garage on yelp.com, both will be cheaper than the Hyatt.
Since we arrived late we wanted to eat somewhere closeby so we walked down to the Embarcadero,took a right and walked about 2 blocks to Chaya Brassiere. They have happy hour all night and serve great food and drinks. The next day we went to the mission district for Carnaval and it was so convenient to walk the short distance to Bart and cost $1.75 one way. All in all we enjoy staying at this hotel because of the location , it can't be beat!
