Overpriced, aged and noisy
The review for this hotel should be read in the context of its price. It is not a bad hotel overall, but when you drop almost $700 for a 2 day stay and then tack on to that a completely absurd $57 per night parking fees (!!!), you get to be demanding.
My main problem with this hotel is the sleep quality. I could hear EVERYTHING that happened in any room around me. I heard people talking, luggage being moved, TVs, etc.... I am not a light sleeper at all and consider this beyond absurd. A hotel's main goal should be to provide a good night sleep. Fail here, and you've failed everywhere.
Room sizes are small, but not out of the ordinary for SF. Rooms are well decorated, Internet is $10 per night or free if you join the Kimpton rewards program, so all in all very reasonable... but I just can't get over the price for parking. And by the way, if you leave something in your car (I did), be prepared to wait over 20 minutes to get it back. They may charge $57 for parking, but they must park the car somewhere in Oakland judging by the time it takes them to grab it. Lame.
This hotel gets 2* when I judge it based on the value I have received for the roughly $800 I ended up dropping here on a 2 night stay.
