Question: What do you think about breakfast?

I almost would be writing a negative review of this hotel if not for some fast turn-around on the behalf of the staff of this hotel. I had a nine hour flight from NYC and was tired as I walked in. Lovely lobby, charming without being overly done, very warm and inviting. I was met with by a man at the front desk (Hamid) who immediately put me on the defensive by telling me he had no reservation under my name! I immediately brought out my written confirmation and then he told me it had been cancelled! I had just reconfirmed with the front desk the week before, so I had no idea how this had happened. He did walk me in, not honoring the rate I had confirmed and gave me my key. I again questioned this to which I was told,"You will have to fight it out with management tomorrow." As livid as I was I was in no mood to "turn New York" on him and went to my room. Room was nicely put together, king bed, desk, nice closet and on the inside right around the corner from the lobby so no traffic noise. Van Ness is terribly noisy so get one of these rooms if you stay here. Only drawback was a bigger dresser would have been nice as I stayed six nights. Bathroom was a nice size with good counter space, tub and shower were in a nice alcove. I was pleased with the room scheme and overall look. About a 1/2 hour later I received a call from the front desk from the overnight manager. She thought I was another guest who had extended and had no record of me being in the room! I immediately went to the front desk with my paperwork and couldn't have found a more accomodating and apologetic person to work this out. She was wonderful, honored my rate and also reprogrammed the key for six nights instead of only one as the guy before did. I then felt confident the rest of my stay would go smoothly, as it did. This is a wonderful hotel with nice rooms, wonderful breakfast each morning (the waffles are awesome) and close to everything. The rooms are kept clean and I would liken it to a "no-frills" Inn with a boutique feel. I would stay here again on my next trip to San Francisco.

Question: How is the location?

This is a really beautiful hotel. The rooms were small and I was not able to be upgraded (SPG GOLD PREFERRED) because the desk clerk said that they were sold out. My husband did not like the room. He felt that it was small and the bathroom was really small. We might have stayed in the older [part of the ghotel..I amnot sure. The lobby was beautiful and the location can not be beeat. I would stay there again but my husband did not think it would be worth a return trip to this hotel. The bed was really heavenly and the sheets were so soft. I slept just great. BTW, my husband also liked the bed and the sheets.

Question: How is it room?

I recently spent one night at this hotel. I travel a lot and usually get what I expect from a hotel due to my extensive research. I was very disappointed with my stay here. A previous poster stated the slow inattentive staff. I had the same experience. I showed up at 3:30. Check in is at 3:00. There were 3 staff members at the desk attending to things on the desk, not attending to guests. I stood there for minutes with a line forming behind me. No one at the desk looked up and even acknowledged us. I finally said "hello?" and the man in front of me looked up then and asked if I needed something. Unbelievable. It took more time to find out if my room was ready...it was after their posted check in time. I booked a club level room with the expectation of receiving a nicer than standard room accommodation. The room was horrible. The carpeting was covered with dirty stains throughout, windows were dirty, filthy marks on the leather covered chest of drawers. A floor lamp tilting like it was about to fall over at any moment, glaring bare bulbs over the bed with little shades above them that did nothing to cover the bulb. I had to laugh at the makeup lighted mirror on the vanity. They must have found it at some flea market 30 years prior. The room was so noisy from the bar across the street that we couldn't get to sleep until 2:30 am...after the bar closed! The windows on this side of the hotel should definately be double paned. I rarely write uncomplimentary comments on hotel comment cards but this time I let them know about all of this rooms problems. I am pretty tolerant of wear and tear etc. but this was a club level room and I expected it to at least be clean. There are many many hotels in this location so even though this hotel is in a great spot there are too many other nice hotels to choose from to ever make me book here again. I give this hotel 1-2 stars.

Question: How is the time?

First time booking with Expedia on a recent trip to San Francisco and was not really sure what to expect but our expectations were surely exceeded! Our flight plans remained exactlly as requested and our stay at The Hotel Adagio was wonderful. The hotel was a very quaint boutique style building, clean, great location, along with a very accommodating and friendly staff. Great places to eat and shop nearby and Adagio staff will gladly make any reservations for you from dining to day trips as well as offer helpful recommendations for getting to know the city if you are first timers to San Fran as we were. First Crush and Calibri's were two great restaurants Adgio staff suggested and we were very impressed as well as a day trip to Sasalito/ Muir Woods which they booked for us. I would highly recommend this hotel to couples or adults. As far as Expedia, we were also satisfied; I would just take time to confirm your travel plans with your hotel or airline and there should be no problems.

Question: How is the breakfast?

My husband and I were just going to be in SF for 1 night on our way to a wedding so we just wanted something inexpensive. What a bargain! I got a room at one of the funkiest hotels I have ever seen. The color scheme is great, room was cozy. It was a little noisy since we were next to the stairs and on the street but who cares! The pool/courtyard was great. The free breakfast was decent. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. He pointed us to a great restaurant only a couple of blocks away. And have I mentioned that they have free parking. My Silverado wouldn't fit in the on site parking but they have a free lot across the street. We are definitely staying here on our next trip to SF.

Question: Where is the location of the hotel?

I stayed at the Powell Hotel at the end of October for 2 nights and was surprised that for more than $240 per night, which is what my office paid for the room, that it was old, tiny and had two small twin beds as a standard. The room was also not very well cleaned with dust on the furniture and hair in the sink and the bathtub. Also, the thing that I found most irritating was the valet parking that cost $30/night (which is pretty standard for that area) but took more than 30 minutes each time I needed to retrieve the rental car. There's no restaurant or bar in the hotel but since it's in Union Square there are plenty of other options. Since the hotel is right at the end of the Powell trolley line, I was unhappy to realize that my room was filled with the clang-clang late into the evening and early in the morning -- something of a wake up call, I guess. I'd recommend trying to get a room on a higher floor as I was on the 2nd only and the trolley and street noise was quite loud. I did like the line of freebie shampoo/conditioner/soap that they use in their bathrooms. Overall, the hotel was disappointing but in large part in relation to the high cost per night. If I'd paid $100 a night, I would've thought it was fine for a lower-end room in a high-priced town.

Question: How is the breakfast?

We stayed at HDS for 5 days from August 15. We have 3 children (5,8,10) and had a great set up. We had room 326 which had a room for the kids, and our room with small kitchen area and bathroom. Really clean and comfortable, very bright and cheery. The breakfast was basic but did the job. Missed a normal cup of tea though. Pool was good for the kids after a day sightseeing. Hotel was in a great area and we walked to Fisherman's Wharf one day. Only negative was hearing noise during the night from both the street and other rooms but I believe they are trying to recify that. Would definately stay there again.

Question: What a rate the hotel for all facilities?

We got a really good rate of $109/night on hotwire. We weren't expecting much, but we really enjoyed our room. We had a huge, comfortable "heavenly bed", large flat screen television, huge desk and nice bathroom. We didn't eat in the restaurant or go to the bar. The location was convenient. Lots of shops and places to eat within walking distance. The only complaint was that parking was expensive, but that is typical to San Francisco. I would recommend this hotel, especially if you get a good rate.

Question: How would you describe the manager?

I'm surprised that this hotel has received such positive reviews; whilst it's not a disaster, there's certainly better options in the city. The location was my main complaint: it wasn't close to any of the tourist attractions, and thus required public transport on each occasion. Additionally, Market Street is very rough, and littered with undesirables - it didn't feel particularly safe.I also had to switch rooms after the first night due to excessive noise levels eminating from the main road (caused by vehicles and tramps wheeling shopping carts up and down the sidewalks). To their credit, the reception staff were very friendly and understanding, and fulfilled my request straight away (rooms at the rear of the building, whilst smaller, are far quieter).The rooms themselves were clean and comfortable, but a single room isn't overly spacious. You just about get what you pay for here, but if I were to return to San Francisco, I probably wouldn't stay here again unless I really had to.

Question: Is this location near to russian hill area?

The hotel is at a fairly good location with easy access to the shopping district and a Walgreens a block away. The front desk was very efficient, and the concierge was helpful. However, the room had old and discolored carpet, the thermostat had a mind of its own, and the bathroom isn't clean. The shower stall was especially grime ridden. During my seven nights of stay, the cleaning staff always forgot something, be it forgetting to add soap, tea and coffee bags, or tissue paper. Though there is a big screen HDTV in the room, the few available channels were all NTSC quality and the TV doesn't do a good job of up-conversion. Aside from the room itself, everything else costs extra, the gym, the pool and internet connection are all additional daily-rate charges. You could do a lot worse for the money, but it's not a four star like advertised either.

During my seven nights of stay, the cleaning staff always forgot something, be it forgetting to add soap, tea and coffee bags, or tissue paper. Though there is a big screen HDTV in the room, the few available channels were all NTSC quality and the TV doesn't do a good job of up-conversion. Aside from the room itself, everything else costs extra, the gym, the pool and internet connection are all additional daily-rate charges. You could do a lot worse for the money, but it's not a four star like advertised either.


Question: Where is the exact locations of the store?

The Castle Inn is our favorite small hotel in San Francisco! We have stayed there on 2 occasions & the wonderful staff, convenient location, & clean, quiet rooms keep us coming back! Located at Broadway & Van Ness, Castle Inn is in a nice neighborhood with drug store, grocery, cafes & cute shops within close walking distance. It's also right on the bus line & is a straight shot down to Fisherman's Wharf. My dad & I stayed for 4 quiet & comfortable nights. We rented a car on our previous trip, but found that with a little planning, getting around on the bus was an easier & less costly option. The Castle Inn does offer free parking though, which is a real bonus in SF! Parking throughout SF is difficult, pricey & hard to find. For this trip, we purchased 3-day Muni Passes at the airport when we arrived, & used those to travel the city on busses & cable cars - a good value if you don't mind the challenges of riding city busses! Make sure you get a bus route map when you purchase your Muni Passes!Rooms at the Castle are clean & comfortable - not fancy or large, but decent & reasonably priced compared to many SF hotels. Our 2-bed room had a hairdryer, small fridge, coffee maker, free cable tv & table with 2 large chairs. Our 3rd floor room overlooked a lovely yard of trees next door & we could just see a bit of the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance. There is a nice little continental breakfast (coffee, cocoa, yogurt, fruit, pastries, granola bars) in the lobby. The best feature of the Castle Inn is our favorite hostess, Versa! She is always so pleasant, accomodating & knowledgeable with good advice about the city. They also gave us a chart showing busses/stop locations to go to various tourist locations throughout the city. Castle Inn also has a nice website worth checking out.If you want a clean, decent room to sleep in at night & a hot shower in the morning without a lot of pricey luxury, the Castle Inn is a little gem of a motel in a convenient location to get to the tourist attractions easily. I have & will continue to recommend San Francisco's Castle Inn to anyone considering a trip to the City by the Bay!

Question: How far is the hotel from the restaurants?

My husband and I stayed at the Nob Hill Motel for 4 nights and found it to be clean, spacious, and comfortable. The couple at the desk were friendly and helpful (even allowed our son who lives in the city to park his car in their lot for a couple of hours).We had requested a room on the top floor and that's what we got. We slept very well at night; heard no noise from the street or other rooms. Didn't really take advantage of the free breakfast as it was just instant coffee and some donuts. There were two things about the room that I didn't like but would not keep me from returning. The cleaning solution or air freshener used by the cleaning staff had a sickening sweet smell . . . had to open the window upon entering each time. The bathroom fan operated with the light switch so the fan was on even while I was applying makeup . . . and it was very noisy. A separate switch for the fan would be nice.The area around the motel seemed very safe . . . even tho we did some some homeless people sleeping in doorways less than a block away. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance. We ate at The Bell Tower twice; very good food and very friendly waitstaff.

Question: How was the room?

I booked 4 nights here for our HM, one of which I used my Starpoints for. Upon check in the lady said she would upgrade us since we were staying 4 nights. She offered us a bottle wine since it was our HM, but we declined as we are not drinkers. She was going to give us a corner room on the 8th floor, but decided to give us a room on the 27th floor with a view of the Moscone Center. That room was nice. Bathroom was small. As soon as we got to the room, we called and requested a refrigerator which was delivered promptly; no extra charge. After coming back to our room later in the evening, a maid was cleaning a corner room and told us it was available. After a call to the front desk, we packed our stuff and moved over to the corner room with more views of the city. This bathroom was slightly more spacious; although neither had towel racks. We used the workout room. Headphones were provided and the treadmills had built-in TV's. Staff was very friendly. At checkout, my bill was for 4 nights, when it should have been for 3 since I used my points for one night. A call to the front desk fixed that and she gave me 1000 points for the inconvenience. We asked about late checkout and were offered 1pm as opposed to the normal 12pm checkout. Overall a good experience. It is more of a business hotel, not your traditional HM place, but it worked for us.

Question: What is the quality of breakfast?

Visited the Holiday Inn Express 4/24 - 4/28. Overall, we were happy with the hotel. The location was perfect for us - close to the wharf and local transit. The hotel itself is very nice looking with a modern decor. Our room, single king bed, was more than adequate. Maid service was good. The breakfast was decent for a hotel complimentery breakfast. There was a good selection to get your day started - juice, coffee, tea, milk, cereals, toast, bagels, yogurt, bananas, eggs (either scrambled or omlette which seemed to be prepacked and microwaved), bacon and/or sausage. The hotel was full on the weekend and the breakfast bar was quite busy at times. I felt the hotel did a great job of refilling things and we never had to wait long for anything. We always also managed to find a table for our group of 4.There were a couple of minor things we noted. While the hotel looked great, it is very basic and didn't have any nice little "extras". I thought it would have been nice to have coffee/tea service in the lobby area throughout the day, not just until 9:30 am - we've had this at other Holiday Inn Express hotels and basic type hotels such as Quality Inns, etc. Some aspects of service could have been a little better as well. I wanted to have a tea in my room early one evening. I had forgot to take a milk back up to the room in the morning - tea with powdered whitener just isn't that great. I had hoped that the front desk could get me a milk - the breakfast room was just a few steps away - but they were unable to help as their "house man" was not on duty. While I was waiting at the front desk an older man approached and indicated that they had just returned from their day out and their room hadn't been cleaned. The gentleman at the front desk indicated that he "couldn't understand how that could happen, it had never happened before". He asked the guest if he was sure he didn't leave his Do Not Disturb sign on the door. The guest replied he was sure he hadn't. The front desk clerk then proceeded to tell the gentlemant there was nothing he could for him as the cleaning staff were gone for the day and again, the house man was not in. The front desk clerk didn't offer anything to the guest for the inconvenience - he just restated he couldn't understand how that could happen. To me, surely someone could have gone up and emptied the garbages and at least gave them clean towels? Also, don't forget that parking is very expensive, as is pretty standard with wharf area hotels. We didn't have a vechicle but noticed that the valet parking was over $40 per night. If we returned to SF, we wouldn't have any hesitation staying at this hotel again as any issues we had were really quite minor.

Question: Do you like the rooms with a great size?

Our stay at the Donatello exceeded our expectations. The location was right in the center of art galleries, fine restaurants, major theaters, and close to transportation that took us to all parts of the city. The room was quiet and spacious as well as clean. The beds were comfortable. Advice from the front desk was extremely helpful in getting directions and obtaining theater tickets. The breakfast in the restaurant bar was certainly adequate and effcient. We enjoyed being at the center of the city.

Question: How would you describe the manager?

This is the perfect little motel for people who are more interested in seeing the city than the inside of their hotel room. The parking is free. The rooms are clean. I slept great -- no excess noise from the street. There's a microwave and refrigerator in the room so you can store your snacks and have a few meals in if you want. The desk staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The location is actually Russian Hill between Polk and Van Ness on Pacific Ave. Walking distance up to Ghirardelli Square and the cable cars. We loved it.

Question: How's the room?

We booked and arrived within 24 hours as our holiday to Miami was cancelled due to hurricane Frances. A superb hotel in a great location. The staff are friendly, the rooms are a good size and everything is clean and modern. We have looked at some of the more expensive hotels around and would not wish to be anywhere else. The free internet access is great as you can checkout places that you want to visit and keep in touch with home. Haven't made the gym yet, but have been in the pool at the Holiday Inn next door. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Question: What is breakfast?

5 nights in San Francisco April 23-27 2004. Stayed at the Grosvenor Suites. Room on the 4th floor northside facing Pine. That was fortunate because the city was having a record hit wave and our room stayed nice and cool. There is little street noise on that side, it is a residential area surrounded by 2 major hotels. Area is close to public transportation, BART (goes to the airport), cable cars and buses. In a great neighborhood. There is a full size grocery store a short cable car ride away on Cailifornia Street. We had 2 beds in the room a couch, a dining area with table and chairs. The small kitchen was spotless with all dishes and appliances needed. There was a light breakfast offered, the bagels were very good. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. I reserved a room at this hotel specfically due to this website and I am truly grateful to those that submitted their comments. Very enthused about the hotel and will return.

Question: How is the room?

I booked the flight and hotel through Orbitz before I checked Tripadvisor about the hotel. Then I worried if I made a mistake when I read some of the reviews about the thin walls and noise. That was wasted concern because the hotel was fantastic. The hotel was built in 1906 after the earthquake so the rooms are not huge but the are beautiful and clean. We didn't hear a peep from the rooms on either side, it was very quite. If you opened the window facing Market Street, yes there was traffic sounds. Close the window and all was fine. Maxfields Restaurant in the hotel was a total surprise.. the food and service were excellent as was the decor. Breakfast in the Garden Court was a little average,but the room is stunning!!! You should try it once. When I return to S.F., I will certainly stay at the Palace.

Question: How is it the room?

This hotel has great amenities...great location... and generally excellent service. We used points to offset a few nights cost...and the hotel treated us like royalty. It was an amazing experience...with a high floor corner room with a great view of the city and the bay in the distance. The hotel staff were friendly and very accomodating, and seemed genuinely pleased we had selected thier hotel to celebrate out 30th anniversary. The room (small suite) was large for a city hotel and very clean...smelled great. The bar (Level III) had a great open space with computers and a large fire place....needed after a cool windy day. In the morning the bar turns into a Star Bucks...also needed to start a busy day. The outside staff are always ready to help...getting a cab to/from the airport is not a problem...cost about $45 (same as car parkinging). Speaking of cars, there are several rental agencies within 2 short blocks....and within that same distance is a broad spectrum of shops (high end), Union Square, cable cars, Market Street and a huge mall (the San Francisco shopping center). If you have a shopper in the family, this is Nervana. The location of the hotel is great, because you are out of the rush but just steps away from clubs and shopping and public transit....including the Powel/Market cable car ($5 each way). We did not dine at the hotel, other than order the wine and cheese sampler "Best of San Francisco". We would not hesitate to return and highly recommend this hotel.

Question: What do you think about room?

I thought this hotel was wonderful! It was super clean, rooms were clean and nice and a good size. The bathroom was probably the cleanest one I have ever seen in a hotel. It was also very quiet. Alot of the reviews discuss the area - it was not a problem at all and I am easily intimidated but day or night - I was never concerned. The staff was always friendly and helpful. I woudl absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone.

Question: Do you like the breakfast served and the overall experience?

The Inn is definitely one of the smallest hotels I have stayed in within the US within recent memory. You know, that can be good or bad. If you want to be anonymous it might be bad. I was in San Francisco on business, attending a conference at the Marriott but chose to stay here based on the reviews. The Marriott was a half mile walk, by the way. And the Marriott is a Marriott is a Marriott. Switching it up can be good.Check in went fine. They did not have my hotel website reservation in their system. After asking me if I had I confirmation, I showed them the reservation I had printed out and brought along from home. Not sure where the disconnect was, but this was a Monday and there were probably less than 10 rooms occupied. I don't know what they would have done if it was the weekend (they said they were going to be completely booked).The hotel is small. The lobby is small. The hallways are small. The room is small. The bathroom is small. The elevator is small and slow. But, the room is nicely appointed, clean and had a very large and really comfortable bed. When I first saw the shower I said "what?!?, you're kidding" as it is tiny by most standards. But, it got the job done and the water pressure could clean an elephant. The TV, a Dell flat-screen was nice and it didn't have that whole hotel interface crap on it, it was just a TV with channels like you have at home. Turn down service with water and chocolates was great!The touches that I really appreciated and don't find often if ever at a hotel:You see the same people working there all the time. They all ask how you are, if you need anything at all, and are super polite (from the front desk to the maids). Did I mention super polite? The wonderful and bountiful breakfast spread in the morning on each floor. I could smell the coffee wafting into my room from down the hall in the mornings. The fact they give you a real newspaper in the morning and not USA Today. The wine and hors d'oeuvres in the evening. The call you get from the front desk the night before checkout asking if you need a wake-up call or taxi. The cute little fireplace in the sitting room on each floor.I would definitely stay here again.

Question: How large is the room?

I was traveling to San Francisco for business and I needed to stay in the financial district as the company I was consulting for was at 100 Pine. Walking into the hotel I was instantly transformed to another era. The lobby, bar, and restaurant have old and heavy wood pillars and paneling with dentals around the ceiling. Deep black and red tones accent the rooms. You feel the warmth of the place as a shelter to hustle and bustle of downtown. The rooms are comfy and include all the amenities you expect from a major hotel. The hotel includes a free ride to the office in the AM. Hotel Rex offers all this in a price that you would expect to be higher. Stay at the Rex, you won't be disappointed.

Question: How far are restaurants from the hotel?

This hotel was clean, quiet, modern and conveniently located. The staff was always helpful and the free continental breakfasts were quite adequate. The decor was something between art deco and modern/contemporary. Many restaurants were within walking distance and the view to the water from some of the rooms was fabulous. Internet access was easy and the excercise room was a pleasant bonus. We askedfor a handicapped accessible, no smoking room with a king size bed and that is exactly what we got. There were no strange odors or otherundesirable surprises. The only drawback was the $35 per day parking fee. But the parking valet service was swift and polite. I'd stay there again.

Question: What size do the rooms come in?

This is the 4th year we have stayed at this hotel. The hotel is excellent and good value for money with good sized rooms and breakfast included, only a short walk to Fisherman`s Wharf and Pier 39, Regular bus services running past the hotel, and close to the Street and Cable cars. We would like to pass on our thanks to Joseph and all the Staff who do a great job in making you feel welcome.

Question: How do you remember the location?

True it's not the best neighborhood, so I wouldn't recommend for a stay with young kids, honeymoon or other really special occasion, or someone with super-high standards wanting a high-class hotel. Be advised that there is a strip club across the street. It could probably get loud from traffice/street noise though we were on the top floor (7th) which cut down on the noise. But if you want a place centrally located in SF that's cheap (at least the rate I got on Priceline was), it is fine. The lobby is very nice and the staff are above average, very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfy enough although one side of the bed sagged. It's a no-frills, older style room. Just be on guard if you are walking around at night in this neighborhood but I don't think it's particularly dangerous really, since it is very close to a main street with lots of police and lights.I would not recommend it for the rates published on its website, but I got it for $40 plus tax online so look around first.

Question: How is the room?

Hotel Drisco, in the community of Pacific Heights, was outstanding in everyway. The neighbor setting, the houses, the quietness, everything was perfect. The room was outstanding - we were upgraded to a front room suite which looked towards the S.F. bay. The hotel staff were all courteous, helpful, unpretentious, and friendly. The continental breakfast, in a wonderful little room, was vast and plentiful. The front desk staff was able to make excellent suggestions for dinner, looked at the menus to ensure they could accommodate our tastes and gifted us a dessert at the restaurant (what a great surprise!)...Loved it all and I do not say this very often!!!! Thank you, thank you....
