Avoid this property - here’s our experience

I had a business party with 7 rooms. On check-in, 3 of the party were told their rooms had been downgraded by Hotels.com, but the room charges would remain the same as the more expensive room. Additionally they were told that to get to rooms that were reserved, there would have to pay an additional $10 per night. The members of my party had to push hard to get the hotel staff to do the right thing, but let's call this what it was, an illegal bait and switch! Upon my check-in after 20:00 on a Friday, I was forced to wait for housekeeping to perform a quality check before I was issued a room key, begging the question why a QA check is being performed after 20:00 in the evening! All the rooms had winter bedding, leading my entire team to wake up nightly in a pool of sweat. One of my team had a nonfunctional safe in the room, reported it, and 3 days later nobody had been sent to fix it. The cafe downstairs was perpetually closed, so you could never get a decent coffee (the coffee in the rooms is unacceptable unless you are used to drinking nearly flavour less brown water. Directly next door is a restaurant bar that plays music so loud that the walls and windows of the hotel vibrate, making it impossible for some team members with jet lag to rest prior to the RSAC at Moscone Center. My advice is to look elsewhere. This was the 2nd year I booked rooms at this hotel for my group business travel and I cannot in good conscience subject my team to this property again.

overall a very good stay

Overall nice hotel, great location, would likely stay there again. Minor negative, no on site restaurant or bar, they did offer a complimentary glass of wine to be fair, but no where to hang out after dinner for a night cap. again, not a big deal, plenty of spots near by, more of an FYI rooms were typically small but clean and comfy staff was friendly

Super service. Comfortable bed!

Front desk staff was very helpful. Very helpful. Nice lobby area where people sat to drink the complimentary drinks. Room was excellent. I’m researching where they source their bedclothes. Loved ‘em. Only down side was loud music next door but that quieted down after 9pm. Definitely recommend.

Great hotel fir any occasion

We stayed for our anniversary and to go to the Cherry Blossom Festival. I must say that Yesha & Angel at the front desk were very nice! Once we got to our room, Yesha brought up a bottle of champagne & champagne glasses with a Happy Anniversary card signed by her. That was so very nice of her. The hotel was beautiful with all the yellow and gold colors. The theme of the hotel is pineapples. They even had bathrobes in the room. The bed was comfortable. The room & bathroom were a little small but it was still very nice. They don’t have their own parking lot so we parked elsewhere & took an uber to the hotel. The neighborhood it’s in isn’t the greatest but it’s not the worse either.
