Overall a very good experience
Great location and friendly staff. Gave you the feeling of being in a city with "action" as the hotel lobby always was busy and created a buzz. This is on 4th street, so it is convenient to downtown and Union Square and right by the BART and MUNI transportation systems. could walk to downtown, Little Italy was a $10 cab ride away and could take cable car to Fisherman's Wharf and trolley to Ferry Building. Rooms were good....nice but not a "warm" or "cozy" feel that I'm sure some of the boutique hotels provide. Since I am a Marriott Gold member started day with free continental breakfast and snacks in the afternoon. (excellent fresh fruit)
