    The toilet ran all night, the drain in the shower was clogged, the faucet in the shower was broken, the coffee pot did not work,the bathroom sink did not drain-in other words a plumbing nightmare. We were offered a free breakfast for our troubles. Front desk staff was very rude.

    My opinion of this hotel eroded at check-in. As I was filling out the sign in information the front desk person was talking to another employee which did not bother me at all. What bothered me was she continued her conversation long after I had finished filling out the form, so much so that I decided not to say anything just to see how long it would […] take for her to realize I was waiting for her, understand she was standing directly in front of me while she talked. Finally the person she was talking to started to nudge her with her elbow and nodded her head in my direction to get her to notice me. When I asked how late their car service ran at night she said she didn't know she thought around 10:00 p.m. as she said this another employee overheard her and told me the service runs all night. The room had a great view of the bay. I did not enjoy the view of hair mounded in the corner of the bathroom by the tub. I was not expecting Four Seasons but this felt more like a cut rate motel.

    I received a smoking room upon arrival but I'm not a smoker. When I called the front desk to complain, they said they would send up an ionizer instead of moving me. Definitely not a good night of sleeping.

    I've always wanted to stay at this hotel because of the location but never have because of the price. Last weekend we opted to splurge and I've got to say.... I won't stay there again. For the price, it's just not worth it. The bathroom floor was "sticky", the room itself was clean but not worth what we paid.

    I've booked with hotels.com a Non Smoking room and the only available room when I've checked in was a Smoking one. I think that room in the 3rd floor was the worst: unbearable cigarrete smell and no view. Fortunately I've managed to change to a much better room for the 2nd day. I would recommend this hotel if you book a high floor, non smoking & bay […] view room. Read more
