Convenient location, but at a cost
My partner and I spent one night at the Parc 55 Wyndham at the tail end of our San Francisco vacation. The location is extremely convenient for travelers looking to spend time in Union Square or catch a cable car on Market Street, but its placement in these high-traffic areas means that street noise can be heard even on the higher floors of the hotel. The room itself was in good shape, though certainly some updates could be made (the lobby, on the other hand, was very chic and stylish--so maybe my expectations for the room were raised a bit too high). The only real concern that I had during the brief time I spent here was that both my partner and I felt rather itchy laying in the bed. I don't know if this hotel was one of the many in San Francisco that had concerns about bedbugs, but I have to admit that this came into my mind as a possible cause for us both feeling this way (neither one of us has sensitive skin, and we stay in hotels pretty frequently without this complaint). This issue aside, the hotel was one that I could see appealing to first-time travelers to the city and because of its size, location, and amenities, likely a better choice than some similarly-priced hotels in the area.
