Impressive lobby interiors if you're into old world gilded architecture
The room we stayed in is average for the price. It is gilded with gold curtain rods, gold curtains, marble floors in the bathroom. But basically it smelled old, and just slightly creaky. The building outside is impressive but the interiors are a bit dated. If you like golden age design, then this place is for you. Otherwise, pass it up. We prefer modern interiors, so we were not impressed. The service however, is 5 star. So also expect to pay 5 star. Valet @ $60++, but worth considering the uphill walks to the hotel from every street that leads to it. It really is at the top of Nob Hill. Impressive views of the bay.
