    The location - just next to the union square. I was able to check-in early since the room was available. The room was small but fine for 1 person.

    The airconditioning in the room did not work and the window would not open properly as the mechanism was broken. This caused the room to be too hot

    Staff were efficient and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble.

    All was good

    A nice hotel in a central location. Clean, spacious rooms. No breakfast, but the hotel recommends one of the local diners and provides a discount card to use for every morning of the stay. We had received an outstanding service upon checkin. Dave (if i remember correctly) at the reception, while chatting to us about the trip and the plans, when found out it was our honeymoon trip, kindly upgraded our room and sent us a bottle of fizz. It was truly magical and made our stay special.

    Bed was very hard. Cleaner came before 8.30am. Our room overlooked an alleyway with leaking drainpipes and walls.

    Great location for everything. High end shops right on the doorstep. Trams just around the corner. Bars and restaurants a short walk away.

    The excessive noises from outside that can be heard from the room. Also unfortunately the surroundings don't look safe these days.

    The hotel is quite enchanting and it was nice to get an upgraded room for free for our honeymoon.

    OK hotel, great concierge

    My room was very small and dated and had a slight odour. I was exhausted from a 5hr drive so sprayed perfume rather than moving rooms. I needed sleep. It's an old style, rabbit warren of a hotel. I am not suggesting for a second that it's not safe but I was very relieved to have a room with a fire escape stairwell right next to it. I took wrong turns going to the lift every time, so knowing I only had to step left in an emergency was good. (I caveat this was probably not helped by being reminded on all the tours, that Towering Inferno was filmed nearby - and that film traumatised me as a child!!) I did feel the Westin was only marginally more expensive on the nights I booked and would actually have been better value in hindsight. So depends if you prioritise absolute prices or value per dollar spent. It's worth bearing in mind, it's in the part of the city where you see the homeless. I never felt unsafe - they are just people who life has let down after all. But you should be ready for it. Also the dept stores all closed on Easter Sunday which caught a lot of us visitors out. Absolutely not the hotel's fault and not a big problem but again something to consider when planning your stay.

    Location is good if you want to be in the shopping district. Some gorgeous buildings in the vicinity, if you like that kind of thing - I do. Danny the concierge is a hero and couldn't have been more helpful. It was about a 30 min walk to the Ferry Terminal for context. There is public transport but the weather was nice.

    It was a little more expensive than I would normally choose, and the room upgrade (perhaps due to construction work) was nice though meant I had a huge room as a solo traveler, spending most of my time exploring. Parking was expensive, so I returned our rental and used public transit to get around. No catering, but a discount for the local diner.

    The location was great, the room was clean, functional and comfortable. I didn't use the pool, but my friends (with kids) enjoyed it. Very convenient for using public transportation. Discount for local diner due to ongoing construction work.
