The bed was comfortable with a nice weight comforter. We enjoyed being up on the 12th floor away from the street noise.
The lobby is elegant and cheery, and its very conveniently located in Union Square, close to lots of activity, cable car line and more. The bathroom was elegant as well. Nice size refrigerator and adequate space in the room.
