“Not value for money.”

눉The standard of the room, particularly the bathroom did not reflect the cost of staying in the hotel. The room was very cold, and the heating/cooling system would not adjust. The WiFi was unreliable. The location is good in terms of closeness to key areas of interest (a short walk), but it is not the nicest of areas to walk through.
눇Hotel staff were professional and friendly. Very smart foyer.

눉We called this property to tell them we were bringing two 16yr olds and asked if this was a great location in relation to Fisherman's Wharf..it is not close to the Wharf..the people "outside" the hotel are questionable it is a very dirty area lots of trash..uber doesn't feel comfortable picking up there. Management resolved our issue and did their job. I just would say don't bring "kids " here. Also if your goal is Fisherman's Wharf you should pick closer than the arts district.

눉The location is horrible. It is in a scary part of San Francisco, surrounded by homeless. We saw multiple people shooting up heroin right outside the hotel.
눇The staff was very kind and friendly. It had a "Tower of Terror" vibe--which we thought was cool.

“Take video tour of room before booking.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room with Two Double Beds
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉1) The rooms were too small compared to the history of the hotel, which they claim to be one of the oldest hotels. That time the room size and bathroom sizes were large and big enough for 6 persons. For two beds, the room size was awfully small. 2) The bathroom took the cake. One had to be careful in turning in the shower, and in the bathrooms. There was no water spout apart from the shower, not that we needed it. We were not that heavy bodied, so could manage, but any big bodied person will find difficulty in using the shower and bathroom. The bathroom was the smallest in all our stays across USA, and room rent highest from all our hotels across USA in this trip. 3) Their parking bill system is a mess. Wrong billing, and long wait to settle the issue. One has to be careful in checking the bill. Even after correcting it, at check out again made an error and billed us for 1 additional day, which took a long time to sort out. They do not believe our word. 4) They take deposit for 1 night without informing at check in. So if one is using a travel card, then the amount is blocked until it is released by the card system. So one may be short of money due to this. Especially if one is leaving the country.
눇The location and feel of the hotel was good. That's it.

눉Check in was at 3 pm. The room wasn't ready and the front desk said to give them 15 mins. We ended up waiting an hour in the lobby and it still wasn't ready. We left to eat and to explore the city. Who knows how long the room actually took. No apologies for the wait at all. That was really the only negative thing about our experience.

“Classic period hotel in a good location, let down by expensive parking and very slow valet return.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Double Room with Two Double Beds
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Expensive parking ($38 per day), and ludicrous 30+ minute wait for valet to return car. Lift issues.
눇Nice room, tiny (but ample) shower room. Good location. On site parking.
