Disliked: Staff & service
The lady at the reception didn't give us the complimentary water bottles that she was giving to everyone else. When we went back to collect the same later, she said she was running out of the stock for water. We asked one of the staff members to know nearest store where we could go and buy water, that kind soul asked me to wait and brought us two water bottles from the stack right behind the reception lady. To our horror, that reception lady got upset and angry with that nice junior staff over this. At that point I told her that she is being rude and also that she lied that she is running out of stock when there clearly was stack of water right behind her desk. She simply said "okay" and went normally about her work. No apologies, no remorse whatsoever.
We also realized next day that the same lady at reception didn't give us the 'breakfast coupons' while checking in. I was sent back from the restaurant to collect them at the reception and come back again. The normal practice of telling your room number and having your breakfast didn't apply to this place.
When one ends up paying almost 300 usd per night (yes, I totally understand that taxes and real estate costs in SFO are high) the least one expects is a courteous staff which doesn't differentiate between customers looking at "brown" skin color, simply because the color of the dollar bill that we pay is still same "green".
