Vanessa Mina provided us with a stellar service experience - which made our 12yr anniversary perfect!

Leo, United States of America

The staff was so hospitable and very accommodating. The room wasn’t available for an early check in but we had a doctors appointment to get to. They offered to watch our 12 poodle for us. When the room became available they brought her up to us with a dog bed, dog bowl and dog treats. They went above and beyond.

Jenavie, United States of America

Location was excellent. Close to everything we love. Staff was very friendly. Place was clean.

Kelly, Canada

Location is amazing so near to the convention centre

Nezar, Saudi Arabia

Great friendly staff. The environment was clean and comfortable, welcoming to anyone who would stay. That entrance way piece above the front door is stunning. Gym facilities where amazing for those who wish to continue working out even on vacation.

Tristan, United States of America

Slept like a baby, comfortable bed. Awesome bath products, Nespresso in our room. Loved everything!

Lori, United States of America

Gorgeous, upscale property with a hip, youthful sensibility. Mid-century, post-modern design vibe throughout the hotel. Comfortable beds. Very nice view from our 20th floor room.

Leigh, United States of America

Great place to stay, right next to the Museum of Modern Art and close to so many other great attractions. Complimentary water in room, great snack and drink bar in room too, and VERY friendly and helpful staff. I had stayed for 8 nights at a nearby Westin the week earlier. This was a far better experience!! W Hotels seem to pay attention to the details that others neglect for cost or profit's sake. I felt appreciated as a customer.

They put us in a room next to the elevator which was under repair and the insulation was taken out so you hear the elevator motor every few seconds when it’s going up and down - all day all night. They knew about this noise because the engineer said we were not the only ones to complain about it- but still put guests in the room, we were moved to a much lower floor and there was construction noises in the room at 7pm and 8am above us even though it was a weekend and we were promised there would be no work during our stay. Check in was also very awkward because they didn’t have booking.com confirmation number linked to their system and couldn’t find our reservation.

The space allocated to our business meeting was a little cramped. But that was due to the structural and space limitations of the building itself. Otherwise, excellent place to stay in San Francisco.

Wet ceiling so during showers our stuff got super-wet. TV turned on itself in the middle of the night with “No Signal” waking us up. Hair dryer blown with cold air, staff replaced it with 100% non-working one and only third attempt was successful. In general - overpriced place.
Location close to Moscone. Everything else was horrible.
