Hotel Amari

I love older hotels, they have history and arn't just plastic hype. My room was clean and smelled clean. The hallway was from another age and so were the staircases so very pleasing. They have an elevator and a dumb waiter. I used the elevator (no worries). Yes, vintage hotels have differences because they are old and that appeals to me. I don't think this hotel had amenities like a weight room or swimming pool. I didn't care because that isn't important to me so didn't notice or ask. I use a hot spot (for privacy and better upload speeds) and a lap top so no idea about their wifi. I wanted a hotel that was central to the area I needed for a meeting. There were several options for public transportation (I used Bart from SFO and then the bus system). There were many local places to eat (I loved the Diner on Geary and Mason. And I did see some interesting music venues all within walking areas. The folks at check in were knowledgeable about local sites and buses. Ticked all the boxes for me. But I am not a "bright young thing" who wants social media hits. Not against that but want comfort and convenience.

Excellent value and great location; would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Love the location

Worked well, close to my gym and conference.
