Traveling in business?? Its not about the views
Its amazing how traveling on business, my requirements change completely. Luxury to me is about practicality, simple, easy check ins and out and getting a good night sleep. 
Great deal offered to me by Travesse.com got me the higher rooms, so I did not feel the noise of all the conventions, free wifi and breakfast at a better rate than you can get elsewhere.
Location, perfect - for business
Rates - great for business
Breakfast - fantastic, but VERY expensive (or is that just San Fran?)
Bed - super comfy
Overall, I cannot fault this hotel on anything and would recommend to any business traveler coming to San Fran.
