Pros (+) The bed was comfortable, and the rooms were clean. It is also located next to Whole Foods, and local transit to get around town.
Cons (-) The rooms were slightly outdated, but still not too bad. They could use renovation. Also, the breakfast was expensive for what was offered (no omelet option).

Pros (+) simple place for business. very clean, beautiful view of the city and part of the bay. staff was helpful. good for late checkins, as checkin is 3pm, so make sure to call or check in prior to arrival.
Cons (-) pool was closed for renovations, but that really isn't a complaint since they will be upgrading it which is great. maybe breakfast was kind of expensive, i payed $19 for the buffet when it was just me...
