The exemplary service of the friendly staff earns high marks for this cozy hotel overlooking the Embarcadero and within shouting distance of the Bay Bridge. Guest rooms are smallish but have double sets of soundproof windows and include nice touches such as wall-mounted 27-inch flat-screen TVs, brightly colored throw pillows on beds with 320-thread-count sheets, and tub-showers with curved shower-curtain rods for more elbow room. Some rooms have views of the Bay Bridge and the Ferry Building. Complimentary evening wine and late-night cookies and milk are served in the lounge, where coffee and tea are available mornings. The hotel provides free use of the adjacent YMCA and free weekday limo service within the Financial District.
