Others have pointed out the many nice things about this hotel, the primary thing being the location and the generally helpful staff. The floor to ceiling view was wonderful although the windows could use cleaning. Conveniently, there was an armchair set right by the window, so I could have sat there when I was not out and about and looked out at the view right down third street to the Bay. In fact, I really would have liked to do this, especially in the early evening as the city lights came on. Too bad that armchair looked worse than furniture I have seen in frat houses or sitting out by the curb on trash day. Honestly. It was off white and the fabric was perforated. It boasted two big obvious stains on the seat and one on the arm, and the arms on the top and sides were dark gray with dirt. Truly--it was so revolting I couldn't sit on it. I mentioned it twice but nothing happened. Wish I had a picture--it had to be seen to be believed. Generally, I found the housekeeping to be hit or miss. On my second day there was a bottle of complimentary water. None on the first day or the third day, but on the fourth day there were two. Hmmm. . . Also, my dirty wine glass sat on the top of the dresser for three days before it disappeared. One of my (dirty) water glasses was taken away after the first night but never replaced. I am sure they were full, but this was very uneven service for a quality hotel.
