(1,660 reviews) The staff at breakfast and happy hour were great. This hotel seems a bit older, for some reason they only had accessible rooms when I checked in when I did not request this style room. With the accessible room water gets everywhere in the shower, house keeping didn’t come by when I didn’t have my privacy sign up. Overall a great location to walk to seaport, gaslamp, convention center and other wonderful places. Also, not far from airport.
