The service we received was great and the lobby was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The room was clean and spacious, although the interior decor was slightly outdated (especially the TV). My biggest complaint is with the bathroom. The water pressure was terribly weak and would feel simultaneously too cool and hot due to the difference in pressure from the shower head. There was also a large hole in the glass wall. At first I thought it was cool because you were able to hang towels from there, but it was unpleasant to shower next to the hole because cold air would blow in. Hairdryer had good power and there was a plug-in vanity mirror with different light settings to check your makeup. Free instant coffee provided in the room, but no free water. No slippers or robes provided. The bed had a comfortable mattress pad but the sheets were not as soft as I would've liked, although still serviceable. There is no free parking on-site, only valet ($25) so I opted to park in a nearby public lot ($7 all day). The hotel is decent location-wise; you can take a trolley to Cannery Row or walk along the water past Fisherman's Wharf to get there.
