Christopher Westcott: Definitely checkout the rooftop bar. It's amazing. The windows are out of this world, offering a spectacular view of the city. Don't miss it.

Luis Javier Robles: The bar at the upper level is amazing, the view is great and wines are excellent. Very cool hotel with luxury and non luxury options.

Rodrigo Salatine: Beautiful scenery and a great place to relax and read a good book!

Crystal Yamasaki: Had the most amazing view from my room & lots of great shops & eateries within close walking distance!
Abi Azren: Nice room and and the view was great. Too bad everything here is quite expensive
Rafi Syed: Ask for a Bay Bridge view room, so you can look at the Bridge and spy into the Blue Bottle coffee shop at the MoMa, which is a great place to go for an afternoon meeting on a sunny day.

Keith Smith: Nice view of the park but seats in theater aren't very comfortable. The whole concessions area is spread out too much a bit overwhelming.
Ellen McGrody: The Metreon is actually really nice! $14.00 IMAX shows at 9 AM, lots of great arcade games, and beautiful views of the city!

Yosun Chang: Beautiful view from skylights on conference floor 2
Justin Scott: What you get in a beautiful interior, you lose as far as rooms with a view. :-/
Kursad Albayraktaroglu: In my view, still the nicest hotel near the financial district if you absolutely have to stay downtown. Awesome restaurant.

Luís: Great park, lots of green and some shade, plus a great Starbucks and some other food options! Also, good views.
Marissa C: Lovely park to take a stroll during your 1:1’s ... check out the plant selection which is grouped by country, and don’t miss the games area!
Dan Sohayda: Super cool space for a nice quiet walk in the middle of the city. That is if a live band isn’t playing. Then it’s loud.
