Rooms closer to street were noisy so I had to ask for a different room the second night I was there. The breakfast was good, it had cold and warm choices. But the warm breakfast was the same 5 days out of the 6 days I stayed there and no vegetarian choices at all. The hotel was clean and sort of updated. There was nothing interesting to walk around the hotel. However it is a good hotel if you want to stay there and visit San Francisco and surrounding. A little expensive considering there is no other amenities besides a small gym room.
