Great news. As long as they continue that, I would not choose the MH over the IC SF. Without it I might be conflicted if MH had lower rates for a given period, but I still prefer the nice new rooms and amenities.

For those of you who wants to enjoy a good cup of coffee when you wake up at IC san fran, there is a very very very good LOCAL (not starbuck) coffee shop close by. (2 blocks down). A cup of latte and a thick toast (4.5$) is a good match.
here is the address:
Blue Bottle Cafe - more info »
66 Mint St, San Francisco, CA, United States - (415) 495-3394
good luck

Thanks.

Upgraded two levels from a jr. suite to a one bedroom bay view suite. One level upgrade would be to the one bedroom suite without the bay view.
Welcome gift of discounted I-SPA services, bottle of wine with cheese and crackers, fruit plate with a large bottle of Evian water. Complimentry first movie and 4 pm late check-out. ^

Excellent trip report Lucky, thanks for including so many pictures, they really help to give me a good feel for the place....
I think I might have to stretch my budget for this one early next year (along with buying Amb status beforehand).

Did anyone else recently get charged for food from the minibar (pretzels, nuts, chocolates, etc...)? My last experience at this hotel was that they didn't, I was surprised that they did this past weekend! Lame.

I just think that it is lame to empty the minibar from the food and not to expect getting charged.

Just got back from the IC SF and had an amazing stay. Ended up in the bay view suite, and for anyone interested I wrote a trip report with pics, which can be found here.

Anyway, this is my first experience at an IC that does this... especially that I had stayed previously at this property and they had automatically comped me, just like they have in the dozen other ICs I have stayed at.

Some hotels charge sometimes. You have absolutely no recourse if you consume any of the non beverage items and they want to charge for them. Whether you have or have not been charged for them in the past is irrelevant.
