We stayed here for 1 night during New Year’s Eve.
The location is prime, walkable to Fishermen’s Wharf.
We had booked a family room. The room was neat and tidy. However the bathrooms had barn doors with no locks and sides open. I found this ridiculous and made using the toilets uncomfortable.
They have valet service and charge 65$ + tax. The service was extremely slow that evening. They boast of pre requesting the car so it’s ready when we arrive at the lobby, however that service was not working during our stay.
The morning breakfast options were good and we enjoyed them.

Hotel bien situado y con los estándares de calidad y precio de esta cadena. El aparcamiento es solo valet y cobran 65 dolares al día. Desayuno incluido. Como punto negativo la deficiente higiene en el comedor, donde no limpian las mesas tras sentarse los nuevos comensales y se acumula la suciedad de una manera considerable.

Stayed here recently and loved it. Highly recommended, especially with how Oscar handled our departure during the valet service… he was terrific and excelled in all areas… although my hubby and I were in a clean room at the IHG floor level, I had one issue: nothing to see from the windows. I expressly asked for an upgrade to the highest floor because of the view, but it seemed the front desk did not hear my request. Anyway, loved the interior of the room, one of the best beds ever, just the noise, oh wow, but I am okay with that, had earbuds. The real five stars here are the location and breakfast; it's perfect… their 24-hour fresh-grind coffee was the best… the one thing disappointing was the lady at the desk who was managing tours near the fitness center. My hubby and I saw her pick up bagels with her bare hands and then put them back… that was really gross! The amenities are superb, and the appreciation for elite membership is excellent… Highly recommended.. The valet in and out $70 but it's all worth it because of all break-ins in SF, I will never take risk or just take public transportation...
