wonderful STAY!
inviting room big tub bath bombs
i found the room inviting AND spacious. the tub was big, accommodating two people, and the hotel provided bath bombs FOR the spa jets. i saw seagulls perching on buildings near Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge from the window. it was minutes away from both the pier and the chocolate factory.
the staff was not particularly friendly or engaging. they did their duties, but it WAS basic. improvements in staff friendliness and cleaning standards would enhance the guest experience.

my king room featured comfortable king bed, a spacious seating area, and nice decor. the bathroom included a rainfall shower and complimentary toiletries. blackout curtains ensured a restful night.
