Pros: First class hotel, great location, great service.
Cons: Too many guests that should be at a Motel 6.

Pros: Great location, historic, good for business travellers
Cons: Very crowded, noisy, sometimes overbooked

Cons: Avoid "Murphy Bed" suites, bar is home to $15 martinis & bad band

Pros: Location, Fantastic restaurants/shopping nearby, historic atmosphere, all amenities, beautiful stately architechture.
Cons: small rooms, but not for a city such as san francisco, new york, chicago, etc.
Summary: This is a fantastic hotel with a perfect location and a great and interesting history. It survived all the earthquakes (extremely well built) and even housed the notorious Fatty Arbuckle scandal of 1921. While there be sure to try Sears Steakhouse
