visited San Francisco
question: Where is that elegant lobby?, context: A friend and myself visited San Francisco for 4 days. We booked rooms at the Whitcomb through Orbitz and had a very reasonable rate for staying in the City. The hotel is classic and the rooms were quite nice with high ceilings and fully furnished. The bathrooms are huge. It is an historic hotel and with that you would expect high ceilings and larger rooms and that is what you get. At check in, I requested rooms at the front of the hotel overlooking Market St. I am so glad I did that. We both had rooms with a view of City Hall and at night it was wonderful to have this view. As is typical of older city hotels, this hotel does have rooms that overlook nothing or a wall. Always ask for rooms at the front of the building. The Starbucks in the lobby is quite nice and the service is totally fast Starbucks. Other people here have reviewed this hotel and complained about the homeless population around the hotel. Well, guess what? There are homeless everywhere in San Francisco, this is NOT a reflection of this hotel. The neighborhood is safe and equal to any in the City. The transportation outside the front door is wonderful, you can go ANYWHERE in the City from this hotel front door. My encounters with the concierge desk were wonderful. They were friendly and quite helpful, AND they knew what they were talking about. There was no &quot;Hmm, I don't know&quot;. It was like staying in a hotel in Europe for me, the hallways were huge, so old style. And the elevators were there in seconds. They all worked and did the job well. The staff was friendly and helpful. Thank you for a nice stay. Only problem I could come up with is that the internet service seem to be overwhelmed, so slow to download, but that is the fault of the service that they contract with, they could try another service. And I was on the 6th floor and the ice machine was missing, so I had to hoof it to the 5th or 7th floor for ice. But maintenance is maintenance.
