Recap of the reviews here

My hat is of to all of you for not asking for your money back. :-: ^
What a forgiving ,loyal and kind group you are to Hilton
This hotel has the gall to ask for these rates without even a mini bar in the room?
I would rather be at a Hilton Garden Inn.
Solid 3 star with 5 star dreams and prices IMO
And then the problems and defects you all experienced? /yikes
I will not be staying there at present based on the reports here.
Thank you all for saving me the aggravation and expense.
My gratitude to all the posters here.I was close to booking a week there in the coming days

I am going to save a lot of many and head back to the Park Hyatt or the Grand where they do virtually everything well and for less then the average daily rate posted on the H website
The W would also be an excellent choice in comparison
Here's to hope the hotel will get the house in order along with priorities that make for satisfied customers.I am a huger supporter of HH to I might add

Once again your recent comments
*Room very modern style - no plasma tv as yet
*Room keys don't work
*Bathroom is small - still with old light switch -
*Marks on new 'velvet' wallpaper and marks on furniture by TV
notice expensive rates for this part of town
*Ordered ice - doesn't arrive.
*Room service arrives in 20 mins -non menu times but luke warm
*Parking (mandatory valet) was $42 PLUS another $5.88 parking tax!
*No in-room coffee -- a BIG minus for this caffeine addict who doesn't want to travel 22 floors down to get some in the AM!
*No in-room mini-bar or fridge
*Quite a bit of street noise facing the main drag in North Beach on a Saturday night (Harleys roaring up and down, etc.
*Funky elevators -- I and at least 4-5 other parties I encountered going up/down the elevators had trouble getting the elevators to stop on their chosen floor
*Slow phone responses:
*No bathrobes

Added amenity: construction noise too at these costs ?
A category 6 ? And potential point increases perhaps coming this June?



Quotes
I'd suggest that we not make any judgments for about 60 days, because there's still a lot of workers coming and going, and that means it's not really "ready for prime time" yet.

For 99 dollars perhaps agreed


Quotes
I'm going to give them another shot at the end of March for another leisure weekend stay
WHY ? Maybe you will get lucky for three hundred or four hundred dollars a night ?
