“$30 Breakfast Buffet” advertised but once you sit down they charge you alla carré and the menue prices are so high that for your $30 you get a tiny sized platter with eggs and one cup of coffee. When I asked for I refill on my coffee I was informed that the waiter doesn’t have the authority to give me a refill on my coffee. Smelly expensive rooms too plus $30/day parking

For the area, the location was nice along the waterfront. Beautiful view and walking area. Staff was wonderful. For a pricey hotel many things didn't add up. broken shower curtain, wrapped up Scott toilet paper, Dirty pillowcase and bedding cover and broken refrigerator that had a giant frozen chunk inside.

Average hotel, better values in the area. It's a business hotel. We stayed one night to be near SFO for an international flight in the AM. It was a lot better back in the days it was owned by Sofitel. It is no longer upscale. The grounds are very nice, especially along the man-made lake. Half of the rooms face the lake. Ask for lake view. What I really disliked was that they put us in me an accessible room, I did not book nor did they inform me at check in? The restaurant is hit or miss, it was busy when we were there. I ordered a burger and fries, which was the worst I've ever had with cold dried out fries, I should have known better. There is a Shake Shack down the road for 1/3 the price. My SO ordered chicken Picatta which was very good. The restaurant service is good. The bar looked really poppin'. If you like bar scenes, this is definitely a good one. The restaurant water tastes terrible, showers are weak. Overall the Room was clean, plenty of power for devices, no bed bugs, but behind the headboard it was absolutely filthy. The bed at least for me was not comfortable and the pillows were sky high and too firm for me. I rolled up a towel and used it as pillow.The comforter did not breath. It traps all your heat and you end up sweating even if you turn the A/C way down. In summary, I would not stay here again for the price, its not a value. There are likely better values in the surrounding area if you are staying like we did to go to SFO the next day.

Property was well maintained and looked very elegant inside. However, when trying to speak to the front desk, I experienced getting hung up TWICE on my call with them. All I had asked was to confirm my reservation and a question, and immediately got hung up. I hope no one else will experience this as well and the staff learns to do better
