Great views, great location
We stayed in the Hilton in SF for a quick weekend trip. We were at an event to see Grace Lee Boggs at the Chinese Cultural Center, so we decided to stay the night there as well. The room was fantastic, very nice, very clean. Views of the Bay and Coit Tower from the 20th floor were fantastic and worth the extra money (since it's my first time staying in SF in 20 years, I figured it was worth the extra $30 or so bucks for a room with a view), which was offset by the AAA discount. The bed was pretty soft, softer than I'm used to, but for one night, I could live with it. My husband enjoyed the gym, empty at night. Noise was not a problem. My biggest complaint really was the cost of parking. I know it is near Chinatown and SF parking is premium, but $45 for one night is just ridiculous, even with in/out privileges. If we had found the City parking garage, I think it is supposed to be $27 per night, which in itself is pretty high. The other thing is that $9.95 for wi-fi connection in the room is a bit much. For the price of the room and the price of parking, that would have been nice to include. All in all, great review for the Chinatown Hilton.
