“The Jay's safe Embarcadero base”

The Jay, Autograph Collection is a clean San Francisco hotel in a safe area — spacious beautiful rooms with stunning views, a good gym, Waymo-friendly easy getting around, and incredibly helpful professional friendly staff; cleanliness and bed comfort exceeded a high-standards guest. The complaints: a remodel of an old hotel — poor soundproofing and really slow elevators (five-to-ten-minute waits at busy hours); valet-only parking at ninety-one a night; no buffet breakfast — the third-floor option is mediocre value; check-in was less accommodating to a guest's college kid; and a note that local security falls on hotel staff.

Service

Food
