Excellent city view (worth the price). Great location on Nob Hill. Ideal for family stay. Extortion pricing in the lobby machines and mini-store (($8.00 for a 4 oz. bottle of Pepto-Bismal, $10.60 for one bottle of cold beer!!). Just do your shopping in the surrounding shops...

The room was comfortable. No noise, the room has shades that make it very dark, the sheets and pillows are nice (they provide two firmnesses of pillows). We ate at the ROH for dinner. They have some free options for kids and the service was great.
