"This was a great location right across from the Embarcadero. I stayed in a king bed room with Ferry bldg view which had a beautiful view of the Bay Bridge. The room was comfortable yet small with a descent size bathroom. The hotel was very nice and front desk was pleasant. I would stay here again."
