Hotel Whitcomb

I have stayed at the Hotel Whitcomb several times. It is very centrally located and is an excellent value for the money. It is an older hotel, but the owners have upgraded those parts of the rooms and hotel with which the guest regularly interacts. The rooms are clean and spacious. The beds are comfortable. The staff is courteous and attentive. The BART station is very close and the cable car terminus is about six blocks down Market Street. Again, it is a good value for the dollar.

-Had to flush toilet over and over -Windows would not fully close -The heat did not work and was missing a nob... -Comforter was thin as a sheet and looked like one...I was so cold both nights -Bathtub was not as clean...I went to cvs and got products to fully clean it

I loved the heritage features of this hotel. Beautiful wood mouldings, marble and crystal light fixtures make you feel like you've stepped back in time. The hotel rooms are simple, but nicely appointed. This hotel was good value for money. It is a 3 star hotel and I think it was very nice for a 3 star hotel, better than most, but if you are looking for 4 or 5 star hotel features and amenities then this probably isn't the hotel for you.

Amenities are a bit limited, no room service, no mini fridge or coffee maker, no pool. Pay per view movies weren't working during our stay, but we weren't there to watch movies so it wasn't a big issue. The hotel is in a bit of a rough area, but I still felt safe on the streets. No one bothered me. A short walk or tram ride takes you to Union Square and beyond to the Piers and Fisherman's Wharf, so you are close to better areas and it's very central.
