The hotel is situated right in the heart of the city, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms lack natural light and have a few maintenance issues, but the water pressure and temperature are excellent. The service is accommodating, with helpful staff offering assistance when needed. The location is central, close to the convention center, and within easy reach of Pier 33 for the Alcatraz tour. The authentic Indian dishes offered in the dining experience provide a taste of local flavors. Overall, a decent value for the money with some room for improvements.

I arrived at this hotel with excitement because of its perfect location in Union Square, but there were some letdowns during my stay. The rooms lacked sunlight and had a few broken lamps; however, the water pressure and temperature were great. The service was prompt but could be more attentive. The hotel's location was superb for exploring the vibrant shopping district, but it fell short on value for money. My dining experience left me craving more variety, but overall, the facilities were decent.
