Very good stay
Pros:

Great stay, spacious room, comfortable bed and amazing location. Staff was kind and they allowed me to check-in earlier because the room was ready, which I really appreciated. Having the restaurant at the hotel is also a plus, though it closes really early in the evening (8:30pm)

Cons:

The little breakfast corner instead of a proper breakfast is fine, but food is really limited and there are no healthy options at all. Price is also pretty high compared to other solid options. Not saying it's not worth it, but it is a bit higher than I would actually find appropriate.

Pros:

Great value boutique hotel right on the Embarcadero. Just a short walk to the Ferry Building, Oracle Park, the Exploratorium, the California Street cable car, and BART/MUNI Metro trains. Perrys restaurant and bar onsite. Nice, modern rooms with comfy beds, and remarkably quiet considering the location in the middle of everything!

The stay was fine.
Pros:

The location is great near the bridge and embarcadero.

Cons:

I stayed there before and booked the suite with a view. However this was the other suite with a view, and was not as cozy as the other suite with a view. It did not have carpet, the decorations were different. It felt very bare and not cozy.
