Expensive ripoff
This place is well overpriced. Top dollar for basic accommodation with cheap Ikea design motive throughout.
On arrival we were hit with the news that parking was $45 per night. Rip off or what? I heard a staff member refer another customer to a public parking structure over the way for a quarter of the price.
Shown to our assigned room, down an extensive corridor system, even though I had asked for a room near to an elevator as my wife is disabled and unable to walk very far without suffering great discomfort. On entering our "non smoking" room the smell of cigarette smoke nearly knocked us over. As the room had been prepared by someone why was this not reported and why were we assigned the smelly place? I must say the bell-hop was very appologetic and immediatly rang for room re-assignment. Then it was back along the corridor system to our new room. The view of San Franciso turned out to be of a roof with air-con units and other rooms not 15ft away across the roof.
The room was very basic (with no fridge) and cheaply furnished. The bathroom was barely adequate.
The only good comment is that it was not far to an excellent resturant. This hotel has no eating facilities, no breakfast. The bar is a joke. We waited for table service, and waited, and waited until I called the bar man over. Ordered cocktails. "No cocktails. Beer or liquor only" was the curt response. Surroundings were cold and unwelcoming with the atmosphere of a Bus Station waiting room. We did not order a second round.
I have been in better hotels in industrial and mining towns at a cost of $25.
I will not return and this has made me very cautious of the Sheraton brand. If this is one of their flagship properties, god help the fleet.
