One of the reasons I come to HI properties is for the Wifi, which is given as part of the product that is offered, yet when it is not, there seems to be no one particularly bothered by it at all... The manager is quite useless and has done nothing to suggest any form of recompense etc...

On the good side, Platinum recognition was good. Upgraded to an Executive Room and voucher for a drink offered.

Unfortunately, when I arrived, the San Francisco Giants had just won some big game and the place was absolutely crazy. The noise outside went on till the early hours and all I wanted to do was sleep, but that was not going to happen. That would be all over San Francisco though.

Good to know you made it back to SF after your journey to Latin America. Sad news about the internet at this place...maybe you should ask to have a word with the General Manager, as opposed to the Manager on Duty? Having kids on computers intended for business and serious matters is awful. No hotel or lounge should allow unlimited and unrestricted access; it sends the wrong message. Maybe if they have wired access in your room, you should ask if they will reimburse your expense due to everything you've mentioned.

The SF Giants won the World Series, which is some sort of really big game
Expect all kinds of parades and craziness over the next few days.
