Fantastic, historic hotel
Fabulous place to stay. Extremely luxurious, staff terrifically attentive. We really enjoyed the exhibits on the history of the hotel-learning about the tribe that owns the property now and their relationship to US Grant was fascinating. 
Our room was amazing and renovated beautifully. We had breakfast at the Grant Grill and that was delicious. Everyone we spoke to was eager to help us enjoy our stay and answered tons of questions about the history of the property and places to go in the city. 
It's easy walking distance to all the Gaslamp restaurants so that is very convenient. When we checked in they had a delicious drink in a dispenser set up in the lobby for free and told us it was a virgin version of a cocktail they serve in the Grill. It was so good we went for drinks at the Grill later to taste that version! 
We stayed in lots of hotels on this trip and almost everything was a letdown after the Grant. They make you feel like royalty!
