I enjoyed the hotel for its beauty, comfort, and art! The Maxfield Parrish painting in the restaurant is museum quality. The breakfast is amazing and the pool and saura were a blessing. I would recommend it for the overall experience.
Great place to stay in SF

Grand old property with modernized facilities and friendly service, the Palace competes even with hotels in a much higher price range. Basic King-bed guest rooms are smallish, but well furnished and sufficient. Room amenities include refrigerator, hair dryer, ironing board/iron, terry robes, safe, cable TV, internet capability. Pool and fitness center are clean and well-maintained, open 5:00am to 10:00pm (6:00am weekends).
Front desk and Concierge were helpful, but can get busy at times. One night, the concierge mistakenly told me I didn't have to worry about advance tickets to a show I'd wanted to see, only to find it sold out later. However, the next day, the concierge recommended a delightful show I never would have known about otherwise. Location is central and right near all public transit.
They were very accommodating with late check-out and baggage check. Doorman was always ready to offer a kind greeting, open the door, or flag a cab.
