Hilton San Francisco Financial District

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

8/10 Good
"We had a wonderful time and the facility was beautiful. This is a minor issue for most but for me it is Major. The fragrance used in the facility is way too strong, especially near the elevators. I know many people like heavy fragrance and sense but for some of us with allergies it can be torture on our sinuses. Hilton seems to use the fragrance at many of their locations. This weekend we stayed at the Hilton Woodland Hills and San Francisco Financial District."
