Excellent Japanese hotel experience, very suite place!!
Pros:

It is very clean and beautiful. The service is friendly. There is free coffee. The location is about perfect.

Cons:

It was a little expensive to have to pay every time I took my car out of the parking garage. Plus the total bill for staying there was a lot.

Pleasant but not a standout. Would stay again for location and price.
Pros:

Staff at check in was very friendly. Appreciated design of public spaces. Restaurant was excellent. Bed very comfortable.

Cons:

Bathroom felt quite dated and water pressure was poor. Sound easily passed through front door and adjoining door. Television was positioned at a very awkward angle relative to the bed — tv mount very dusty.

Great stay in a great location.
Pros:

Amazing location for accessing Japantown. Easy to get downtown, Marina, Golden Gate Park by bus or car. Nice interior design touches. Outdoor seating, small fitness area. Adding breakfast to stay was a good way to get up and going. Staff were so helpful and attentive.

Cons:

The area is busy so look elsewhere is you want solace. Breakfast alone is $32 so would only do as part of booking. Otherwise find a great bkfast spot. It's a bit pricey but location and extras make it worth it.
