vanity area was very small
question: What is the cost of the trip?, context: Our recent weekend stay at The Palace was a mixed bag overall. Here's my take on the pros and cons of this hotel:Pros: Central location is fairly handy, lobby area was quite classy and beautiful, room nicely appointed/furnished, great view of Market street from our large window that opened, nice linens, superb showerhead, valet parking was VERY quick and the housekeeping staff was exceptionally friendly. Pool/spa area on 4th floor looked nice though we only walked through to take a peek. Cons: Standard room was quite small -(common in S.F, I know) a nice chair with ottoman was so close to bathroom door you usually bumped right into it on the way out, vanity area was very small - just a very small amount of room around sink in bathroom, awful hallway noise after midnight - could clearly hear people talking in the halls and a couple of slamming doors jolted me awake more than once during the night, price was a bit steep at $199 per night and the buffet breakfast in hotel was outrageous at $21.99.Overall, a classy yet overpriced hotel for what is delivered. I have definitely stayed in less expensive hotels in S.F. and was much more satisfied with my overall experience so I will not be returning to The Palace unless someone else is footing the bill.
