I loved how there were options to dine or hang out in the hotel but there were also so many options around the hotel. It was a really great spot to be in in the city.
Very modernized style indoors. Overall very clean as well and in a convenient area. About 30 min walking distance from fisherman’s wharf or less than 10 min Uber. Beautiful view from Bar at the upper level and delicious drinks. Customer service over all was amazing.
This is a very nice historic hotel. The rooms are a little cozy, but that is typical of an older hotel. Everything is in great shape and the staff is very welcoming. Recommend!
