San Francisco Hotels

Hotel was very clean and tidy and the location was fantastic. Check-in and check-out was hassle free and extremely easy. Location to the BART was great, especially for those traveling to and from the airport.

Had a very small room with limited space to move around other than laying in the bed. However, for us this was not an entirely big deal. That being said, these "discounted" rooms would be horrible for a family stay. The doormen were often on their phones and paid little attention to what was going on around them. Certainly lacking in professionalism. The community shower could use better water pressure.

Not much of anything

The room was ridiculously small, there was no air conditioning in the room!!! Wtf?! we had share a bathroom down the hall and the construction around the hotel woke us up at 530 in the morning. There is no cheap parking and we had to pay 35 dollars for the one night we were there. The breakfast in the morning has very small muffins and coffee. By far the most ridiculous and worst hotel stay I have ever had. I won't bother to go to San Francisco again. Everything is overpriced and over crowded.

Loved the boutique vibe that the hotel has, it seems SF is lacking modern hotels that are similar to the Ace and plentiful of tacky hotels. The decor is very minimal, with concrete floors- it feels similar to a loft you would want to live in. The restaurant downstairs had a really great brunch and the staff were very friendly. The actual location is pretty central, so it's not that difficult to leave the touristy area of Union Square.

There wasn't a mention of the $45 (plus tax) for the valet. So that got a bit expensive. You also have to call 30 minutes ahead. The shower is also a lukewarm temperature. And a bit difficult to work with it being stuck.

The lobby and the ambiance, full of business people, free wifi, and starbucks, as well as the restaurant

the room smelled like those rooms where they used to smoke long time ago. Also, bathroom and room felt old.

The location is perfect, located right in Union Square and 3 blocks from the Powell BART station. It's a &10 cab fare to the fisherman a wharf and here's a nice 2 mile walk back through China Town and North Park. The concierge was extremely helpful as well.

There was no fridge in the room and parking was pretty outrageous, $47/day plus an $8 parking garage fee?!

The location is good.

The front desk person was a trainee left alone and unable to fulfill basic functions of their job. The room was loud and stuffy. Our original room had no functioning windows or air conditioning. Several dead birds outside locked window. After an hour at the front desk we finally got a better room. This motel is extremely noisy. Don't plan on sleeping past 7 am as all doors open into a courtyard and slam as guests leave.

I liked the location.

I didn't like that parking at the hotel was $35 a night. It would of been nice if it was in the description. Parking was a rip off.

Friendly staff, quick check-in and check-out Great location between Financial District and Chinatown and within walking distance to Union Square and Telegraph Hill

Very expensive parking ($45) Very simple, no frills hotel, not attractive as other Hilton venues

Great location.

I booked via kayak and which routed me via priceline. I paid extra for a queen bed with a bayview on a premium floor. However when I got to the hotel they said there is no such combination only the king beds have that combination. They either had a city view on a premium floor or a bay view on a low floor - where you could not see the bay. After some negotiating I settled on a double bed on the 18th floor with a bayview. Be careful when booking thru third party sites, it seems the descriptions are misleading.

This hotel was fantastic! The rooms had plenty of space, the staff was attentive, we will definitely return!

VERY friendly and attentive Bellmen. Delightful Staff

Like the room size, rooftop and location.

From the room you could hear the street noise. Definitely the hotel can do a better job isolating the noise!

Large room. Comfy bed tv built in bathroom mirror was cool. Only bad thing was the satellite tv had bad reception kept pixelating. It was quiet and comfortable. Loved how they had microwave and mini frig. As well as dishes and flatware.

Just the tv reception.

The fairmont has maintained the old style luxury without cutting corners. Fantastic staff, location and NO TOUR BUSSES!!

Wonderful facilities and staff

Room and bed were awesome. Check-in staff were very accommodating. Beautiful hotel.

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

Nothing

The service was awful at the front desk, the room was dirty, no air conditioning, noisy, terrible bed & small for a king sized room, there were no towels and the tv didn't work. I wouldn't rate this hotel with one star, nor would i recommend it to anyone. A hostel would have been better. Embassy hotels shouldn't be an option. It was over priced for a tiny king sized room with awful service and no towels or air conditioning. Don't stay there, you will be wasting your time & money.

Kayak rated this a 3 star hotel. Not even close! Will not book through kayak again as they do not have a consistent star rating.

Rooms were small but clean. Hotel was well kept for its age.

Location is in a difficult side of town. Hidden costs such as a $22.00 tax. We made them take it off. $59.00 for parking we were not told about the cost. Then our account was charged other amounts we had no idea what they were.

Location - excellent, v close to Union Sq/restaurants etc; staff - friendly/helpful

Room - small, low on facilities eg no kettle for tea making; noisy pipes; hotel 'resort charge' of 20+ per day for wifi and coffee station in lobby is bit cheeky for tech capital of the world with over 100+ starbucks in city

Great location. Easy to find.staff was friendly (except for initial access).

Pretty 'dark'. They allow folks to smoke, apparently, which seeps into room. Front door was stuck, owner (?) Didnt seem to want to own up to it. Took a ridiculously long time for him to let me in. Ill probably look at hostel next time. Bath along way down hall. Overall probably a real bargain considering the area.

My boyfriend and I wanted to stay at the budget inn for 3 nights as we were going to a few shows. We were forced to stay the first night cause all hotels were booked at the time of mine & my boyfriends arrival. We literally took shifts sleeping & neither of us showered or used the facilities as they were "shared" which meant Port a potty status. I read a review after we left that said "if I had to chose between sleeping on the free way or here. I'd choose the freeway." I agree 10000% never going back

All of it! Needles laying outside my window. It was a hostel for crack heads. When they were boasting about how they were a refined hotel with (seperate) bathrooms & internet with clean housing.. None of it was true.
