Great location with views

This was a good location to stay in, very central to a lot of the things we wanted to do and right on the cable car line. The rooms had a nice view and we're comfortable. I liked that there was a restaurant and café area inside the hotel.

Excellent location and views of SF

I love staying in this hotel when I come to San Francisco. Great location, amazing views (worth paying extra for a high up floor facing the sea side) and the heated pool. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Hope to be back soon!

The perfect stay for your SFO getaway.

One of my favorite places to stay in San Francisco close to Japan town, China town & even union Square, it might have been a lil cold and muggy but me and the kiddo loved the heated pool, the chocolate croissants are sooo dreamy! 15% off if your an IHG member will definitely be coming back nxt time we’re in town.
