Stanyan Park Hotel
Great location near restaurants, very friendly staff, clean room, excellent bathroom with amenities. The only negative was that we could hear footsteps from room above and walking/talking in the hallway.

Enjoyed our stay, the room, and the holiday decorations. The welcome from the staff was what one would hope for, but seldom get. Truly nice and caring people from valet, luggage handlers, bartender, and waiter. These people made our stay wonderful and memorable.
