san fran feb 12
Considering this is supposed to be one of the world's finer hotels, it just about makes it, in my opinion. It's a great location, high up overlooking San Fran, the rooms are very nice and the hotel has that authentic look unlike some of the modern chains I stay in these days (loved the mail chute), but what lets it down is the lack of amenities - just one restaurant and nothing else. Great views, naturally, but with the whole hotel wanting to eat breakfast at much the same time, we queued inevitably in the morning for what can only be described as an average and expensive breakfast :( 
The next day we ate down the street at Lori's Diner (?) and had a great meal in a great atmosphere for roughly half the price. Room service was great - a couple of pizza's and Bud's - but very expensive. There is simply so little choice when it come to eating in this hotel. 
This is really a businessman's hotel and should be flagged as such.
