great location and friendly staff

great locationhelpful staffcoffee availabilityclean bedding
the location was very handy to restaurants. i also found the muni and bart nearby for transportation. the staff were helpful, kind and present.. i appreciated that. there was also coffee available in the morning downstairs. the room had crisp white cotton bedding and clean white towels.
i requested an early check-in and was given that, but i had to pay an additional cost. it would be nice if award members got that option for free.

The hotel welcomed our dog without charging extra. there are many pleasant lounges on the ground floor. parking was available at a discounted rate. I found that very convenient.
The bed was very uncomfortable. It was too soft. i could hear a scratching noise from my room on the 8th floor. the mattress seemed overused.
