Varför människor älskar det
- Unbeatable location steps from Chinatown and cable cars
- Corner rooms offer significantly more space and city views
- Reliable Marriott bedding and soundproofing on high floors
Snabb Överblick: A standard-issue corporate hotel that charges a steep destination fee you have to hustle to make worth it.
Recenserat av @cvvergara1: I spent the weekend here and the location is just unbeatable. Waking up to that skyline view gave me so much energy, and hopping on the cable car right outside was a bucket list moment. The gym is solid too, which is rare for city hotels!

Reality check
Lower floor rooms get significant street noise from Sutter Street and cable cars; you need to be on floor 20+ for peace.
- You have Marriott Bonvoy status (lounge access is a key perk)
- You plan to ride the cable cars (tickets often included in the fee)
- You prioritize a central jumping-off point over hotel character
Renlighet & Underhåll
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable, though some guests report missed days or having to request service.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but dated. Grout is usually scrubbed, but bathrooms are small and can feel cramped.
- Maintenance: Good condition overall. Occasional reports of slow drains or worn carpets in hallways.
- Linens & towels: Standard Marriott quality—crisp, white, and generally fresh.
- Odors & scents: Neutral. No heavy perfumes, but older rooms can have a faint 'old building' scent.

Insider-tips
- ✨
The 'Cable Car View' rooms are cool for photos but are the loudest rooms in the hotel—trade the view for sleep if you're sensitive.
- ✨
Don't pay hotel prices for breakfast; 'Sutter Street Cafe' is practically next door and excellent.
- ✨
The destination fee food credit expires daily—you can't stack it up for one big meal at the end.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'Junior Suites' are often just slightly larger corner rooms, not true suites with separate living rooms.
💡The elevators can be slow during morning rush hour due to the building's height.
💡You can sometimes hear the cable car bells even on the 15th floor.
💡The gym is functional but windowless and can feel a bit dungeon-like.
💡Housekeeping is sometimes 'on request' depending on current staffing—confirm at check-in if you want daily service.
