Absolutely a wonderful stay
I went with some family members to celebrate my moms 60th birthday and we had such a great time! The cable car is just down the street so we were able to explore key san francisco spots with ease. The hotel manager and staff were extremely helpful. The hotel manager even assisted us in finding and booking us reservations at a beautiful italian restaurant for my moms birthday dinner. The upstairs and lobby bar were wonderful with live entertainment in the lobby and the most beautiful skyline view from the upstairs bar. Highly recommend and will stay again.

A good stay, more effort needed to correct issue.
There was a noise issue during my stay, which was only partially resolved, is the main reason for my lower rating. Great service from the front of house and restaurant team! Food was very good.

Family SFO trip
Great hotel really classic. Awesome location right in the city. Great help from staff re local eateries and travel and attractions.
Older hotel but clean and well looked after, rooms a bit smaller if you are used to more modern hotels but no issue for our family of 3.

Paid for high floor with city view. Was on 5th floor with a very limited view. When booking it said that was the total cost everything including but ended up having to pay an additional $40 resort fee at check out.
Hotel and staff were great, not sure if the issue is with it hotel or a misprint on hotels.com

I have stayed at the property over four decades on and off. The rooms have been remodeled and now are quite charming. The remodel brings the property to modern standards while retaining a quaintness that was comfortable.

Beautiful building
Beautiful building! Polite staff. Awesome location. Cute room and decor, although very small. Heater worked and kept us warm. Comfy bed. Cool bar/lounge. Hotel Valet was awful. We rounded the city for 30 minutes trying to get into valet with no luck. Room did not have black out blinds so we were woken up as soon as the sun hit the window. Not to mention the drums that went off at 7am from protesters (not the hotels fault). Also our room was near the elevator and we could hear it all night and morning long. Sounded like a large cart going up and down the hall. Even with the cons I would return.

NEVER AGAIN
Good, the manager tried to rectify the situation by offering the two free drinks, however there was so much negative aspects about my stay. Both check in and check out girls were rude and cold. The check in girl was so cold and her hatred and racial prejudice was palpatable. While napping,a staff member opened my door and walked in. This was not house keeping. I felt very violated and unsafe. The next issues were out of their control. Fire alarm went off for twenty minutes the second night and there were protestors picketing for 1hour each night starting at 6am!!! As a solo black female traveler, I felt unwelcomed and ignored.

Downtown central location & lovely rooms
Loved the room, which wasn’t as spacious as it looked/described on their website. Water pressure was slow. Staff/service was great.

The checkin experience was very bed - they gave room which is very bed and insisted they I should upgrade by paying additional $50 - even that was not having a proper view - hot water at shower was malfunctioning . For any matter I was asked to call Hotel.com - which also did not helped
