review: This is a beautiful hotel, befitting its name. We parked at the Walnut Creek Bart station on a Friday ($1 for the weekend, and $8.50 round trip) and took Bart into SF; the Palace was less than a block from the Montgomery station. The history of the Palace is explained in little exhibits throughout the lobby. We found the room where President Warren G. Harding died when we went to get ice. We didn't eat at the Garden Court, but it was very lovely to see so many people enjoying brunch there Saturday, such a light and airy place. We had a great crab cake at the Pied Piper Bar with our wine Friday evening before setting out for our evening's entertainment. Although we were staying for a $139 rate, offered by the hotel on the Internet, the check-in and service were superb, as was our room - very quiet and comfortable. We have used promotional rates at other supposedly fine hotels in SF and have been stuck by the elevators or ice machines, but not here.
question: How would you rate this hotel in the rank of decency?
This is a beautiful hotel
