"The views. The in room Keurig wouldn’t work unfortunately. It would be really nice to have hot coffee and hot water machines as a complimentary amenity in the lobby. Certainly wouldn’t be much of an expense for IHG."

"Parc55 is in the most central location in Union Square; central to public transportation, the trolley, and the heart of the city. The hotel itself is very well kept, great staff, fitness center and great views of the bay from upper floors. Don’t sleep on the cafe right across the street; superb."
