9.4/10 Exceptional! (2,492 reviews)
From the pictures, I expected a lot better. I understand this is a “historical” hotel but the decor, especially in the room, is so outdated it gives it a creepy vibe. Seriously, my room felt haunted. What is up with those red flower curtains? I had to sleep with a light on.
Other notes:
-The fitness room is very dissapointing. Only one treadmill out of several machines other worked.
-The staff was very pleasant to interact with. I did not try the onsite restauraunt/bar.
Probably wouldn’t stay here again though.

We went here instead of the Needle because of some reviews we had read. The Sky Observatory is much higher so the view was awesome! The Blue Angels were there while we were there so had great views of the bay area to watch them. Wasn't crowded so was perfect.
