8.8/10 Excellent! (3,591 reviews)
"This is a historic hotel so you can expect some differences from a modern box. We asked for a quiet room which we certainly got. It was reached down a maze of corridors and the view was a wall. However it was beautifully quiet compared to the place we had at Fisherman's Wharf the night before."
