"Wonderful hotel. Right outside of an entrance to Chinatown. Easy walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf. There is filtered water in the 6th floor. No ice but that is OK. The wine available in the evening was a nice welcome "home" after a long day of sightseeing. The free continental breakfast was very light but we were warned ahead of time. You do get 10% off your breakfast if you eat next door and show your room key. Bottom line, wondeful hotel, nice employees, great location and a fabulous room rate. We would stay there again."
