This Hotel is situated at the perfect location right in the heart of downtown San Francisco. You are 2 blocks to Union Square, 1/2 a block to BART, 6 blocks to China Town, 2 blocks to the famous Cable Cars.

The hotel is decorated nicely, very clean and the service is quick and efficient. Our check in took about 2 minutes and we were upgraded to a huge room overlooking market street. We were concerned about the street noise, but it was very quiet and a great place to people watch out the windows.

The room had a large, King bed with bench in front, a seating area with table to the side and another seating area by the bedside. It had a huge flatscreen tv on the wall with DVD player and pay movies. It also had HBO.

The bathroom was very spacious with lots of granite counter space and was very clean. There was a large closet in the room with ironing board and plenty of storage.

We used the fitness room in the hotel, which was very small and a bit crowded when 2 other people came into it. It was convenient though, because most hotels in the area make you go to outside locations to excercise, which is really a hassle.

My only small complaint was the lack of comfort from the pillows. They were very soft and mushy and made sleeping a bit difficult. After mentioning this in an online survey from Kimpton Hotels, the manager replied right away and apologized for the pillows and said to contact him next time I was coming to town and he'd upgrade my room. I thought that was excellent service.
