Found our new "go to" lodging when visiting the city periodically for events, concerts, etc. Central, easy access parking on premise, clean, great city view and reasonably priced for SF! They also have a well run breakfast buffet, plentiful and with good variety. Parking was an additional charge, higher than we anticipated, and the outdoor pool, although open, was freezing in mid-May. It is SF after all. Regardless, we will go back in a heartbeat!
