Hilton San Francisco Financial District
The room and staff were both better than anticipated. Loved the view and they got my room to me early upon request. Parking is a little expensive per night but one can expect that in a nicer, centrally located hotel. Would stay again.

Nice welcome at check in. Clean and tasteful room furnishings. Hot tub was out of commission but sauna was hot and the pool warm. The walk along the shoreline with views of the City was a highlight.
