"Excelente hotel a tan solo 20 min del centro de San Francisco. Ubicación tranquila y bonitas vistas al lago. Habitación muy cómoda. Solamente destacar un aspecto negativo: el parking. No hay aparcamiento público cerca y te ves obligado a dejarlo en el parking privado del hotel en el que te cobran $50 al día."
