Under-wowed by this Hilton
Hotel is located across the street from China Town...financial district a few blocks up. Older hotel that has been redecorated...room is decent. Location was great for getting a daily dose of exercise...able to walk to China Town, North Beach, Fisherman's Wharf, & Union Square area in under 30 minutes. Stayed on the 23rd Floor (Executive Floor) with a good view. While there over the 4th of July, carpet in the hall was replaced & the next day the windows were cleaned from the inside-out...so access to the room was necessary. Not told this would be the case upon making reservations. A letter was slipped under the door during the night the day before. Even on the 23rd floor the room can be noisy but the hotel provides earplugs on the nightstand...how nice of them (sarcasm). The pillows were horrible...immediately went flat & 4 pillows to prop up against still did not provide enough support. The bath cloths were thin & the towels were just ok, not soft or thick. Internet access, wired or wireless is $10 a day. After arriving from the airport after 8 pm, decided to eat @ 750 Restaurant & Bar inside the hotel...food was ok...it was nourishment, overpriced. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR BILL PRIOR TO CHECKOUT...we were charged a night of valet parking at $55...only thing is we took Super Shuttle from & to the airport, walked, biked, rode cable car, & took a taxi while in San Francisco...the only vehicle we drove was the GoCar (gocartours.com) which we had for a few hours to do a GPS talking/guided tour around the city...never parked a vehicle @ the hotel. I was under-wowed by this Hilton but would stay again because we travel to see the sights & experience the activities the city has to offer...the room is to refresh & sleep.
