The Restaurant at JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square

"But with unremarkable room decor, no destination restaurant or spa, and so-so service, the hotel is just a better-than-average chain hotel"

"The dazzling third-floor lobby, with its soaring 18-storey ceiling, is morphing in early 2008 into a 'great room' with coffee kiosk, bar and American restaurant"

"An on-site restaurant, Level Three, serves up contemporary California cuisine"

"The open-plan reception area, lounge, bar and restaurant evoke a loft-style apartment on a much larger scale, with cozy seats by the fireplace for leisure guests and tableside outlets that cater to business travelers"

"The aptly named Level III Restaurant (it's on the third floor) continues to serve all meals, with an emphasis on creative, fresh and vibrantly prepared California cooking"
