This review was posted today. I am very excited for this trip, but I may have made a mistake when booking the Hotel. lol

I wasn't expecting much after reading all the reviews....but we spent $80 for a room here which was just ridiculous.
1. Room was clean, but the bathroom didn't work...and I mean, NOTHING worked. Toilet wouldn't flush. The trickle of water called a shower went from burning hot to freezing cold...nothing in between. Why did we pay an extra $30 for a bathroom?!
2. Breakfast is a bunch of crappy donuts...oh well, guess that's why it was free.
3. Internet only works downstairs. And I don't want to hang out in the lobby, some really weird people around.
4. Location...smack dab in the middle of the ghetto.
When we checked in at around 4 pm, there were 2 homeless men having a full out fight in the front. When we arrived back to our hotel at night (after some dinner), our taxi didn't even want to stop because he said it was unsafe. Told us to run to our hotel from across the street and not to stop. At least it was close to the tram to Fisherman's Warf...but really, that was the only redeeming quality about this place. We stayed 1 night and then switched hotels.

sounds wonderful

at least it's incentive to spend more time at GDC/bars and less time in the hotel

I want to go to GDC
