Love the MEDIA ROOMS

I had a great weekend at this Hilton that has a little bit of everything... Most impressive are the new "Media Rooms" which include a HD TV, Surround Sound, connections to link your laptop to the widescreen TV, and FREE Internet.
This hotel is in a great location for theater and dining options. Beds are wonderful and the room was very clean. I found the Concierge very helpful.
Overall, this is a very nice business hotel, complete with mini-bars, restaurants, gift shop and a very social lobby.
Had a Great Time!!

The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly. We did not spend a lot of time in our room, but it was nice and comfortable. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

We have nothing but good comments about this hotel and would recommend it to others.
The hotel staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. And we got great advice from concierge desk on how to get places--a VERY helpful/friendly/knowledgeable service. Fitness Center is pricey but nice.
The lobby was often crowded, but who cares? The hotel's Starbuck's was nice for a quick break. The hotel restaurant looked expensive and there are so MANY great dining choices within a few blocks that we didn't eat there.
We were also fully satisfied with our room--extremely comfortable bed and bedding and decent view. We had been concerned that some previous reviews complained of noise, but our room was very quiet (except for occasional noise from neighbors' plumbing).
Mainly,we liked the location--even though we aren't big shoppers so that aspect of Union Square was wasted on us. OUR goal was to get all over the city by mass transit, and this was a great location within blocks of key transfer points (for cable cars, bus service, trolley and BART). We bought the multi-day MUNI pass (good for everything but BART), and it paid itself off many times over--with relatively easy public transport to Alcatraz landing, Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Bridge, Chinatown, Haight & Ashbury, Golden Gate Park and more. When we'd get confused, we got great help both from drivers and fellow passengers. Also, we learned the hard way that we COULD take the airport shuttle to/from the motel (for $17/person), but we returned by BART for only $5.35/person and it was just as fast/easy (as long as you don't have too much luggage to walk a few blocks to the station).
We were also interested in catching a show so appreciated the half-price ticket booth in nearby Union Square!

It is too much for $15/day just to use the fitness facility.
It needed to be declared on the internet.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel from 12/30-1/2/08. The hotel itself was nice and clean. The room was also clean and quite spacious. The king sized bed was very comfortable. My only gripe about our stay is that it is set in a rather loud area. We were on the 16th floor and I could hear outside traffic clearly; especially at nighttime. Also, our neighbors were easily heard ~ the walls are thin! I think this hotel is def. geared towards business folks who are staying for a night or two and who are up early enough to hear the morning traffic, etc... It is in a good location ~ close to many attractions.
