The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium (formerly the Exposition Auditorium),[5] the United Nations Charter was signed in the War Memorial Veterans Building's Herbst Theatre in 1945, leading to the creation of the United Nations.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,001 reviews)
It was just OK.
But it was balanced with what we payed.
Don’t understand the “resort fee” in this hotel, it is obvious in Resorts but not in this type of properties.
