The front desk and valet were constantly helpful: just extraordinary people. The pool is perfect and uncrowded: super kid-friendly (we have two rambunctious and adept swimmers ages 6 & 8, and a newbie who at age 3 loved it too). The location couldn’t be better: Jack London Square with great places to eat and explore, including inches from the ferry to SF. Will return at a regular clip in the future!

The staff was amazing! So kind and friendly. Our housekeeping staff were so great. The neighborhood was dog and children friendly. The ferry was right there with easy access to San Francisco. The best way to travel in the city. I highly reccomend this hotel to anyone safe and family friendly.

I called ahead to get a room on the same floor as a family member but because she booked thru the hotel directly and I booked thru hotels.com my room was given to someone who booked thru the hotel directly and I was given a lower floor rm the heater didn't work then they moved me to another room with no waterfront view that I paid for a waterfront view the staff apologized and were nice but I was disappointed i got no waterfront view after paying for one I will never use a third party site to book a hotel again i will always book directly at the hotel they treat you better.

The staff was amazing, they went above and beyond. We were not happy with the AC unit in the room, it didn’t really work, never went below 74 and the room felt humid. The bright side is that windows open, but the trains are running every 15-30 minutes and the horn sounds like it’s in your room. We have an infant and that wasn’t an option.
