We went to the new years event and bought a table with bottle service. At one point, a very intoxicated woman that cut off from the bar sat at our table and was demanding a drink. She then called my partner a "Stupid bleeping man" when another person appeased her with a drink to get her to leave. I returned and gently asked her to leave. She stood up, physically attacked me, scratched my neck and bruised my foot while I was just trying to subdue her. I calmly kept telling her to stop while defending myself against the attacks. Security took a solid 3-5 minutes to intervene, which at that point she was just holding my hair and I was waiting for someone to stop the madness. Security sweeped her away finally, never followed up with me, or called the police. We asked for an investigation and they never returned our emails with pictures and a full explaination. Honestly, expected more than a bottle of champagne & no follow up when they failed to have security for the event and call the police after an assault.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property - the room was surprisingly large for SF, clean, modern and well appointed. There is a cafe downstairs with fresh juice and breakfast hot. The neighborhood is close to the tenderloin, so expect lots of homeless people, but I used to live in SF so I know that. It's a convenient location however, and I loved the hotel! Note there is no valet parking, but there is a parking garage around the corner that you can negotiate unlimited in and out privileges for about 40-50/day.

Nothing against the homeless, but the area was overrun. I had to intentionally watch where I walked to avoid stepping in human feces on my way back from the conference hotel....
