From the moment I arrived to the moment I departed, I felt incredibly well cared for. The room service, housekeeping, front desk staff, valet team, and the friendly greeters on the ground floor all went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. When I needed to extend my stay by two nights due to issues at London Heathrow, the process was seamless, and the kind gentleman at the front desk alleviated all my worries. The room was fantastic, and the hotel's cleanliness was impeccable. The gym facilities were also among the best I’ve ever used. I’ll definitely be returning — thank you once again!

I highly recommend this hotel. In some weird way, I love it so much I don't want to recommend it as I'm afraid it will be overbooked if too many people know how amazing it is. I booked a room and received a free upgrade. After my stay at the hotel, I realized I will probably want to pay for an upgrade even higher than the free one I got to get access to all services. I love the pet terrasse, I didn't bring my pets with me, but knowing it is there, I would 100% come with my pets next time. Things to avoid - The pizza if you are from EU (This mozzarella is ...) - The Caesar wrap

"Awful hotel, not as described"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed March 18, 2025 NEW
The room, even though sold as a King Deluxe is small, pokey & claustrophobic! It feels as though you’re high up on a very small shelf. Don’t believe the receptionist lies about the rooms ending in ‘05 have the best views. They don’t, unless you like looking onto a grotty roof of the buildings below. Not 5* luxury at all. How can they justify US$400 p/night for this. They also wanted to charge US$83 to get an early check in (before 2pm) then offered early check in for US$50….absolute rip off! In addition there’s no restaurant/bar to sit, relax and wait as everything is closed between 10.30am - 5pm. It does not have a comfortable hotel vibe at all. You have to get a security swipe card from reception every time you want to use the restrooms which incidentally look like toilets in a cheap shopping mall! Spartan utilitarian, no carpet or nice soaps etc…..plain horrible! Really unhappy with this hotel so far. Worse that I’m stuck here now as they have my money! Hugely disappointed. I urge everyone not to book here! Please believe me I would leave if I could find an alternative and get a refund. It’s thoroughly horrible depressing place😡

Great location in San Francisco. Friendly staff was very helpful and the lobby and room were both very nice and clean. The gym and pool area are quite nice. We picked this place because of the great location and close to rental car drop off at the Hilton next door.

"So so."

Reviewed March 13, 2025 NEW
Location of the hotel is excellent for both sightseeing and business. Nontheless, the building is a bit too old. If it gives some historical values, that's OK. In fact, it's just insufficiency. Should you expect any traditional Japanese taste, you won't be satisfied. As a whole impression, the interiors of the hotel room do not give the customers any luxurious feelings.
