Pros:

Great location, especially if you want to be near the convention center or bay area. The neighborhood is nice. The room was good and well equipped, and the pool area and jacuzzi are great.

Cons:

I missed a more comfortable desk and outlets near the beds.

Great Location for our Vacation
Pros:

The location was great for the pool and green area.
If you wanted a drink it was available, but hey closed early if they weren't busy.
Room was easy to get to by the elevator and you couldn't hear much when you were in your own rooms.

Cons:

The first day there we went to the pool and their were cigarette buds left on the cushions by the pool.
That was it - everything else was great inside and out!

Pros:

Close access to gas lamp quarter

Cons:

Bathroom wasn't very noise insulated, if someone's going the whole room can hear it. No fans switch in the bathroom.
