Nice Hotel

Very posh. The hotel was clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was nice, large and well appointed. The bed was not very comfortable. Great location.
Good location but needs refurbishing to stay 4 stars

Great location right on Union Square but the room was showing its old age - air conditioning didn't work well and the temperature never got below 75 degrees despite being set to the lowest temperature (60) and the fan on high and the drain didn't work well and must have been clogged bc you'd get 4 inches of water during a shower. Front desk didn't seem too concerned when I told them. Everything else was fine but its not like I spent much time there. They also charge for every single extra that other hotels might provide free (eg. internet/business center). Bed was just ok. Not a bad price. Overall, I wouldn't say the hotel is doing a great job of keeping up with its 4 star rating. Check out the other 4 star hotels ... maybe Intercontinental.
Good Times for a Good Price.

After reading all the reviews of this hotel before I made my decision to book it, I found my experience to be better then expected. We had a few minor snags with our room, but the staff was definately helpful and helped make our vacation amazing. We got upgraded to the larger tower and we had a beautiful view of San Francisco. Don't be afraid to speak up if you're not happy, this staff will definately make sure you're happy. Some other awesome things about this hotel is the location, their are so many things to see, such as Chinatown, SFMOMA, Coit Tower, and other things. The cable cars run outside of the hotel, and are fun way to get to different destination and a lot of cool places are walking distance from this hotel. Chinatown is about 10 to 15 minute walking distances, the SFMOMA is almost the same amount of walking, and their are tons of places to eat. I totally fell in love with Lori's Diner. Oh and before I forget to mention the interior of the hotel and the lobbies are beautiful, I couldn't believe I was staying at such a nice hotel.
Loved it!

This hotel was more than I expected. From the service to the room, everything was wonderful! A really good price for the hotel and room. The room was very clean and everything about the hotel said elegance and class. The area it is in doesn't look convincing but once inside it was beautiful. Don't be afraid to call the operator for questions with everything from how much a taxi would cost to Fisherman's Wharf to questions about booking a tour. Even though it is an old hotel everything was very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and they had good water pressure in the shower. If you are flying there, the double decker bus tour was a very useful way of transportation, you can get on and off for 2 days for one price. Make sure to take citysightseeing bus. Sears fine food is just a couple stores up and really good! Overall a really nice hotel and worth the price I paid.
Top of the line

Excellent hotel . We were very comfortable in our room on the 28th floor. The glass elevator on the outside of the building is better than a Disneyland ride. Location is everything! I will stay there again.
