Question: Where is the parking lot located?

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon. We've stayed in a lot of places in San Francisco, and this place was a nice change of pace. The outside is beautiful and just down the street is the famous "Painted Ladies" and across the street is Alamo Square Park. There was a free parking lot and limited parking available in the street. I think that is due to the fact that the location of this hotel is more residential than "touristy". The only complaint was that every place we went required a taxi (the staff would call one for us and was very accomodating), but then again, we knew it was an out of the way hotel which was kind of why we stayed there. The lobby had a little bit of a funky smell, but what do you expect from a place thats as old as this! The rooms were wonderful! Very quaint...small tv, HUGE fireplace. The beds were comfortable, a very good complimentary breakfast in our room, great decor, and the service was FANTASTIC! We were given wonderful advice by the manager about restaurants, wineries, night clubs, or just interesting things to do in the city. We were looking for a nice, quiet, romantic place to spend our honeymoon and I think we made the absolute right choice! I know they are renovating soon and I can hardly wait to stay in the new and improved Archbishops Mansion!

Question: How was the hotel staff?

Reading the reviews on TripAdvisor, we contacted the Drisco and booked a triple room for my husband, my elderly mother and myself. Although we were kindly warned by the staff that the room was too small to comfortably accomdate three people, we were pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious, with the most comfortable beds we had ever tried, a huge bathroom, and all the possible amenities. The staff is extremely gracious and ready to help with suggestions for places to go shopping or dining, the best transportation options, and even doing the booking on your behalf. There is nothing they do not go out of their way williningly to do for their guests. I have to single out Bob, with his warm friendly attitude, big smile and exhaustive knowledge of the neighborhood and extreme kindness to my elderly mother; the well read Julio and the extremely cooperative Tan. The hotel is in a lovely picturesque neighborhood with several options for dining and shopping - even just walking up and down the streets - although steep - is a pure joy. The hotel provides a filling breakfast with plenty of options that keep you satisfied easily through lunch and also offers a wine and cheese hour by which you can easily skip lunch simply have only dinner. Coffee is available 24/7; even at 3 in the morning, you can count on freshly brewed coffee in the lobby.If you are going to Frisco, there is no other place to stay. Don't look beyond the Drisco!

Question: Is this area recommended?

My sister, her boyfriend and I went to SF for the weekend for a seminar at UC Hastings Law School. We stayed at the Hilton San Francisco, and we all agreed that it is an excellent hotel to stay at.The rooms are clean and maintained well. We only had a problem controlling the thermostat in our room, it was very sensitive and was either too warm or too cold. That is the only reason we gave the room four points instead of five, otherwise, the room was really nice and nicely furnished. We had a nice view of the neighborhood and the immediate city skyline. The only real problem is the neighborhood that the hotel outlines. It is located a couple of blocks from the Union Square and borders the Union Square area and the Downtown "Tenderloin" area. The Tenderloin area is not the safest area and has a lot of homeless on the streets that tend to be very vocal. The Union Square area is close to Nob Hill, one of the nicest areas of SF with a lot of nice shops and hotels. The concierge will tell you what streets to avoid. The staff is very friendly and very attentive, especially the doormen, they always opened the door for us, hailed taxis and arranged for a town car ride to the airport. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, as well as the concierge. The lobby is very nice, a great place to sit and have a drink or just sit (it is a little noisy during the day). The restaurant in the hotel is nice and the food is good, but they are very disorganized as they are a new restaurant (less than 1 year old). We enjoyed our stay tremendously, this stay was a Hilton Honors reward stay, and the front staff gave us vouchers for water in the hotel room mini fridge. Our experience at this hotel was worth the value of what we "paid' for it. I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't mind staying in busy downtown San Francisco and would like some posh accommodations.

Question: How is the coffee?

Hotel Union Square was recommended to us and I would pass along the same wisdom to others. The hotel is in a busy little spot in downtown San Francisco but once inside you feel sheltered from the hustle and bustle. The coffee offered in the morning and wine in the late afternoon are just two of the nice touches this hotel offers to its clients. All of the service staff were friendly, personable, and willing to make our stay the best possible. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to San Fran and wanting to be in the middle of the action. (The walk to the water is a fun climb and not far at all!)

Question: How is the hotel?

I stayed for three nights at the Westin St Francis in the newer tower building.As there were no twins available I had originally booked a standard double in the historic building but was shown to a standard queen room instead. The room was beautiful, though small, and everything was neat and clean. I had read reviews on this site that the older smaller rooms were dated and dirty but this was not the case at all. I did however get an extremely strange feeling in the room, and was not keen to stay for a reason that is unknown to me! We asked to be upgraded to the newer part of the hotel for an additional $35.00 per night, and as we left the old part of the hotel I mentioned to my sister that my right ear started ringing loudly as soon as we entered the room. She said her right ear was also ringing in the historic room... very spooky!Anyway, having upgraded to the tower room with two queen beds, we had absolutely no complaints. The room was massive, and the bathroom was incredible! The beds were heavenly as promised, and the dual shower was great too. It was well worth the extra money for the upgrade. The only thing even slightly disapointing was the view, (of some old buildings), but you can't have everything.Staff were friendly and helpful and the public areas of the hotel are stunning. I really enjoyed watching the documentary on the hotel tv channel about the history of the St Francis- fascinating!I would definitely love to return to the St Francis in the future.

Question: Is this hotel have wine hour?

My partner and I stayed at the Argonaut for 4 nights (17th-21st August 2009), on the first leg of a West Coast of the USA tour. We selected this hotel for its purported, excellent location on Fisherman's Wharf. We had booked a deluxe, view room on a room only basis. On arrival at the hotel, we were impressed by the warm welcome and efficient check-in and even more impressed by our room size and its amenities. We found that we had a view of the Golden Gate, but i have to say that much of the time this view was obscured by the San Francisco fog. The nautical decor of our room was very striking, but I, personally, loved it and felt it to be in perfect keeping with the hotel's geographical location. We were delighted to find that the hotel was providing us with complimentary continental breakfast and that there was a free wine reception between 5 and 6 pm every day - this proved to be a very congenial event that we appreciated very much after each day of sightseeing in this fabulous city. They also provided free, unlimited internet access.Throughout our stay, we found the staff to be very helpful and friendly and we enjoyed breakfast and several evening meals in the hotel's restaurant. The menu consisted of mainly fish and seafood (as could be expected) and we found the food to be of good quality and reasonably priced. The hotel's location is perfect for visiting San Francisco as it is adjacent to the cable car turnaround on Fisherman's Wharf and also very convenient for hopping onto the great 'streetcars'. Pier 39 is a short and pleasant stroll away.I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to explore this beautiful city and I can't wait to book another stay there so that I can explore the area at my leisure.

Question: Is this parking safe?

We really liked the Hotel Kabuki. We got a great rate and it was a great value. Parking was a concern for me in SF,but you could park next door in a covered lot with a direct elevator to the hotel for only $16 per night. We spent a full day sightseeing using the bus system and a cable car ride and there was a bus stop only a few hundred feet from the front door of the hotel. It was very convenient and we didn't have to worry about parking at the popular tourist spots. I liked the separated bathroom with the toilet, sink, and shower all in there own little rooms. Also, I walked three blocks down to the drugstore at 8PM and had no concerns about the neighborhood.

Question: How is the staff?

No curtains. Lumpy twin bad. Musty smell. Dirty carpet. Rooms the size of a small walk in closet. Windows that open into hallways in some rooms.

Question: How is the food at the agronaut hotel?

Hotel Rex -- 562 Sutter St. -- downtown SFOFor a small hotel in a "hotbed" of hotels in San Francisco, I was never treated better than at the Hotel Rex. From the moment of check-in, this was a "southern hospitality" experience for a southern boy. The location is great.....The staff at the desk, the service staff, in fact, all the people there made me feel as if I was home. My wife, the food person, made me aware of the restaurant -- and it was excellent! Me, the beverage person, loved the people and the staff at the bar -- the music on Friday nights was great.As I said in my letter to them --- the best thing I can say is ... "I'll be back!"

Question: What about the tourist attraction?

We spent 4 nights at this hotel. It was very clean and we were provided with an excellent suite on the 4th Floor with views to Alcatraz. I do not like traffic noise and this hotel was very very quiet. Our room was all we expected. It had a coffee percolator and tea making facilities. We travelled with our 14 year old teenage son. The hotel is very close to all the attractions to Fishermans Wharf. The breakfast was adequate and we had no complaints. The buffet is not extensive, but if you are happy with cereal, yoghurt, fruit and pastries, omlettes or scrambled eggs- then you will enjoy the meal. Staff were always attentive.

Question: How was the bartender's service?

We arrived around 12 noon. Though check in wasn't until 3 pm or so, there was no issue with early check in. The staff was courteous and friendly. The room was nice though a bit small. The beds were comfortable. The location couldn't be better- close enough to walk to fishermans wharf, far enough to be away from the noise. One incident: The electricty went off one evening while three of us were trying to get ready to go out. I contacted the desk person. It took a long time for them to answer and when she did, she was completely frazzled with no explanation. It was off for about an hour or longer then came back on. I am still unsure of what occurred. One more important detail: Parking is STEEP at the hotel @ $40 per night. However, it is difficult to park on the streets and alternate side street parking daily is enforced. If you have time to mess with it, it will save you some $.There is a great little bar down on Fishermans Wharf called Lou's Restaurant & Blues Bar-- ask for Vince, great bartender. They also have a CD they are selling that is Awesome!

Question: How is the neighborhood?

Don't believe the bad reviews about this place. The rooms are clean, linens changed daily, staff helpful, and some of the rooms are on the quiet side of the building--surprising for this noisy city and busy location. The guests tend to be European tourists of all ages, including families, or Americans traveling on a budget. They are pleasant, interesting, even fun. The rooms come with fridge, microwave and dining table. The hotel is near many grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and all manner of public transportation. The neighborhood is not the best, nor is it the worst. Skip the "continental breakfast" and explore the affordable restaurants within a few blocks of the hotel for breakfast instead. The lowest prices at this hotel are for rooms without private baths, but for $20 above the base price, you get a private bath. No air conditioning, but rarely does one need it in San Fran. Other hotels I've stayed in that, like this one, are within walking distance of downtown, are much noisier, depressing, and don't provide the "extras": fridge/microwave, wi-fi. Sure, there are better hotels, but not at this price. Enjoy your stay.

Question: How about parking?

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights with my husband and 2 friends. We took only one room with two queen size beds to save money. The room was small but it was enough for us because we spent the most of the time outside. The mainly criteria for us was the location and the cleanness. The location of this hotel is great: you are at about 20min by walking of the ocean (fisherman's wharf). We did everything by walking the day but we took the car to go to eat the night. I think we could avoid to take it because there is a lot of bus in this area but we did not take the time to be informed on the hours.The staff is friendly: the first day they gave us maps and explained to us what to visit and where not to go.There is a small breakfast which is offered each morning. It is not very big but there is enough to eat something before visiting (cereals pieces, coffee, yogurts). In our case we completed the breakfast with pastry (you can find them just at the corner and they are very good).To sum up on the hotel:positiv: Great location, safe area, staff very friendly, room very clean (they change the towels every day and the sheets if you want), free parking (a very good point when you see the prices of the parking in San Francisco), small breakfast, free internetnegativ: small room for 4 people (but enough for 2), the weather was very hot so the little windows were not enough to get some cold air during the night and if you open the window there is some noise in the street, the stuff were old (the decorating, the bathroom), the bathroom is very small and there is no air way so it is very hot in it after the shower. The only big negativ point for us was the heat in the room. we needed to open the door to have some cold air.

Question: How about wine hour?

This was a fantastic hotel. The location is perfect. The rooms are lovely, we had three to a room and it was a very good size. Alcatraz & the Golden Gate Bridge are just outside, a short stroll. The cable cars are just outside too. The wine tasting each evening was a great end to a day too! Highly recommended.

Question: How is the chinatown?

This is a budget hotel, nothing fancy at all, if you are going to be out and need a hotel just for sleep and a place to have your luggage, this will work perfect plus is centraly located near union square, chinatown and bus stop. It is safe to walk at nite. They have an included pastry breakfast, coffee and tea every morning. There was something going on with the plumbing because it made a weird noise everytime water was used in the bathroom. And the first room they gave us had a problem with the lock so was open, since it was near an outside stair we requested to be change and they gave us another room facing a wall inside, but it was more quite. If we go back someday on a budget again, I sure will go back to the Grant

Question: Are you going to a motel?

Stayed at the Castle Inn the night of March 7th, 05. Chose it based on the many reviews it has received on this site. Needed a place to crash after the "Dear Friends: Music from Final Fantasy" concert. Nice little motel, quite good for the money. I'm not too picky about things, so the Castle Inn pleased me.Pros:-Queen Bed-TV-A/C-Microwave-Mini Fridge-Very clean room-Shower was very clean, water temp was perfect, shower head had good pressure.-Iron and Ironing Board (Girlfriend loved that)-Free Parking (everywhere else charged $25 extra! The parking garage is quite small, I sort of had a hard time maneuvering my little hatchback around in it.)-Less than a block from Walgreens!-Lady at front desk helping with directions (even though she was off by a couple blocks on the destination. No big deal. Nice of her to help!)-Low Price! (about $75!)Cons:-Pillows and bed were hard. I wasnt bothered by it too much, but my girlfriend is picky about what she sleeps on.-Only got two matchbook size bars of soap and two small lipstick size tubes of shampoo for two people to shower and wash with.-TV remote didnt work. No biggie.-Too few towels. Towels were sort of rough.-All the fruit was gone from the "Continental Breakfast"-Could hear neighboring rooms' toilets flushing during the night. Woke me up a couple times.I'd definitely consider staying at the Castle Inn again, especially if the prices stay the same. Nice room for the money!

Question: What is the customer service?

My husband and I stayed here on our wedding night after a terrible fiasco at the Inn Above Tide in Sausalito (awful place) which forced us to find another hotel ASAP. We chose the Hotel Monaco and were so happy with our choice!We stayed in a Monte Carlo Suite, which looked EXACTLY, if not better, than it did online. Our suite was #323, and was two rooms, with large floor to ceiling windows, fabulous and fun decor, enourmous bed with down comforter, huge plasma TV, free wireless and a large bathroom with elegant fixtures and a two-person whirlpool tub. Not to mention plentiful Aveda bath products, which were refilled daily.Everything about our stay was top-notch. Excellent customer service from valets, front desk staff, room service staff, housekeeping. They have a great wine hour from where they offer free chair massages and tarrot card readings. We took advantage of both and had a great time. Also, they offered a large selection of fine wines and were very generous with the amount they poured.We oreded a room service dinner and it was wonderful. It is served from the Grand Cafe located in the hotel and we were very pleased. They also offered a nightly turn-down service which was a nice touch. We cant wait to come back for our 1 year anniversary. Keep up the excellent work, Hotel Monaco!!!PS - I would share my photos of the room, but they look exactly the same as the ones online. For once, a website which actually shows what you get!

Question: How is the continental breakfast?

I really enjoyed staying at The Inn. I have stayed there twice & each time was very exceptional service. The staff is friendly, helpful & professional. The hotel gave me a very warming and cozy feeling. The rooms are clean & updated. There's complimentary continental breakfast in the mornings, and snacks & wine in the evenings. It's great for those who just want to sit down and relax next to the fireplace and read the paper after a full day out in the city! The Inn is very convenient to tons of shopping & restaurants, also the cable car line, definitely a great location. Overall, The Inn is one of my overall favorites and I will return the next time I visit San Fran.

Question: How would you rate the wine?

My friends and I have our quarterly Girlfriends' Getaway and this getaway was special as it fell on our birthdays. The stay at the Inn was FANTASTIC--EXCEEDING OUR EXPECTATIONS!!! From the moment we walk in the door we were treated as though we were royalty. Joseph, Tony, Wayne Olson, Heidi, Omar, and our favorite, Josie, were very accommodating in providing not only great service, but recommendations on what to see, where to go, where to eat, etc. The nightly wine and cheese reception was a nice touch and very relaxing after a day of sightseeing and shopping. Wayne and Heidi made certain we had everything and spent time chatting with us about the sights of San Francisco. Tony and Josie were great and made certain we didn't want for anything. Joseph and Omar provided great tips on where to eat, shopping areas (not that we needed help on that one) and took the time to ask how our day went when we returned to the Inn. We stayed in the Penthouse and never bumped into each other as we each had plenty of room. The continental breakfast provided healthy choices and again, was so relaxing you hated to get up. We will definitely return to the Inn. Thank you all for making this one of our best weekend getaways!

Question: What is experience?

What an outstanding hotel in every way! The rooms are so beautiful, clean and comfortable, I would say they are beyond compare. The staff is thoughtful in a way that they anticipate your needs before you even think of what they are. Michael is exquisitely kind and helpful, without us even asking. That is the kind of service that pervades the hotel. Michael's associate, Eduardo, at the front desk, provided us a gorgeous upgraded room. We were stunned when we entered the suite, because Eduardo gave us the upgrade without taking credit for it. It was only when we went downstairs to thank him that it was mentioned. This gracious behavior is a trait of every employee in the hotel. The afternoon wine service was so relaxing and delicious and Julio was wonderful.

Answer: outstanding hotel

What an outstanding hotel in every way!

<hl> What an outstanding hotel in every way! <hl> The rooms are so beautiful, clean and comfortable, I would say they are beyond compare. The staff is thoughtful in a way that they anticipate your needs before you even think of what they are. Michael is exquisitely kind and helpful, without us even asking. That is the kind of service that pervades the hotel. Michael's associate, Eduardo, at the front desk, provided us a gorgeous upgraded room. We were stunned when we entered the suite, because Eduardo gave us the upgrade without taking credit for it. It was only when we went downstairs to thank him that it was mentioned. This gracious behavior is a trait of every employee in the hotel. The afternoon wine service was so relaxing and delicious and Julio was wonderful.

Question: How is the transport?

Once again stayed at the Mosser. The staff is friendly, helpful, informative. As a single woman, I feel very safe staying there. It's a perfect location, close to all the transportation and tourist office. Oh and they have a new fast elevator! While the morning muffins are a bit dry, the coffee is HEAVENLY!

Question: What is your opinion about the neighborhood?

My husband and I stayed at the Cow Hollow Inn September 20 - 25. We booked it based on TripAdvisor reviews. I'm very glad I found this hotel here because the only way to book is directly through the hotel (no Orbitz, hotels.com, etc). The hotel is very easy to get to and is in a great neighborhood. I was a little worried that there might not be much around the hotel since it's not near Union Square or Fisherman's Wharf, but there's actually quite a few little shops and at least 30 restaurants within a 2 block radius of the hotel. The first night we were there, we walked to the bay - it was a quick 1/4-1/2 mile walk - which was a great way to look at all the million-dollar houses in the area (what beautiful architecture!) It's an upscale neighborhood and I always felt safe outside.There are several bus stops within 2-3 blocks. We used the bus system the entire time we were there - it's definitely the easiest way to get around. We did get a rental car, but only used it to get to/from the airport and for a trip to Muir Woods one day. The hotel does have free parking.Our room was cleaned very well every day. We didn't have any interaction with hotel staff other than check-in and check-out. I recommend bringing a key chain because all they give you is a loose key.We did not have any problem with noise, however my husband often falls asleep with the TV on, so the two of us are probably just used to some noise. Our room was on the first floor facing Steiner street (I've attached a photo taken from our window, facing the corner of Steiner and Lombard).Things that didn't add or take away from our stay, but I would recommend to the hotel management:- The pictures on the website seriously need to be updated. The ugly wallpaper in those pictures is no longer in the rooms. Our room was much more pleasant looking in person than in the website pictures.- It would've been nice to have a comfy chair or small couch in the corner of our room. The bay window is lovely, but there's just this big empty space next to it. Our room had a single king bed, so the double bed rooms probably fill this space better.- I wouldn't book my stay on the website because it does not have a secure server (http vs. https).- When I went to check out at 5:30am, no one was at the front desk. After a few minutes, I thought I heard someone rustling in back, so I called out "Hello??" That did the trick. :o) I think if employees are going to hang out in back during slow times, a bell on the door or on the desk would be an easy solution.We ate at many of the restaurants close to our hotel and enjoyed them all:- Country Sky Chinese (across Steiner street) - We loved this place! Our food was fantastic and the staff was incredibly sweet.- Barney's Gourmet Hamburgers (next door on Steiner) - Food was good, but the wait was long (and the restaurant wasn't full). I'd still recommend this place - it seems as though the entire town is short on wait staff, and everyone works very hard.- Izzy's Steak and Chops (across Steiner street) - This was a treat. I had Swordfish and just loved it, my husband had lamb and said it was good, but not the best he'd had. This was the most expensive place we visited.- Mel's Diner (across Lombard street) - This is a 50's style, jukebox diner. Food was good, milkshakes were great. We enjoyed our meal, but it didn't really make me think of "San Francisco".- Squat and Gobble (on Chestnut, about a 2 block walk from the hotel) - We had lunch here and it was fantastic. Lots of salads and crepes.- Korean BBQ (I can't remember the actual name of the restaurant, but it's right next to the hotel on Steiner street) - We got take-out one night and ate it in our hotel room. My husband really enjoyed this, but it was the first time either of us had eaten Korean food, so I can't tell you how authentic it was.

Question: Is spa clean?

In June 2004, I spent 4 nights in San Francisco. I had booked at the Holiday Inn Financial district, because they were offering the best last minute deal I could find (around $100/ night standard room, $140 executive) and I assumed that a business hotel chain would be reliable. Also, the roof top swimming pool and spa sounded nice. Rooms were described as recently renovated. I upgraded to an executive room, which was supposed to give free access to the business center. The room was spacious, and had a breathtaking view of the bay. The king sized bed was comfortable. But decor was ugly and looked dirty (impossible to tell if it actually was, with a mottled mustard and khaki-ish colour scheme). The bathroom looked like it had not been renovated since the 70's! The tub was stained and had no plug, the shower didn't work properly, the walls around the bathtub/shower were not even tiled, they were plastic. I was reluctant to bathe, frankly. As for the "business center", it consisted of a small room with a couple of computers wired to a printer. You could get the key at reception. The roof top pool is minute, but has a great view. And the spa is fully booked weeks ahead anyway. I couldn't wait to get out of there, and only stayed 1 night. I found last minute vacancies at the very pleasant and luxurious Omni nearby, for a similar price to the one I was paying at the Holiday inn, and moved out asap. I believe the property was about to change hands, in which case this review may not be relevant anymore.

Question: How is the hotel?

Fantastic hotel, in a great location. When we arrived check in was very quick with great staff. The room was amazing and in fantastic condition with great decor. This was the same throughout the hotel. Couldn't really comment on the food as we ate out in the various restaurants close by. The main city is not that far away, particularly by tram.Would recommend hiring a bike from the place close by and cycling over the Golden Gate Bridge and get the ferry back.

Question: Is this bar excellent?

Although the Clift Hotel recently underwent renovations which include new carpeting and paint, the builiding itself is rather old. The rooms were clean, the staff polite, the location central and the prices fairly reasonable for downtown San Francisco. All in all, I enjoyed my stay with them, but wouldn't give this hotel more than a 3 to 3.5 star rating. One unique thing is that the hallways are very ample and wide, but I believe this has contributed negatively to the bathrooms--as they are quite tiny.One thing to note is that the restaurant & bar in this hotel attract a very hip, urban crowd almost every night of the week and on the weekend. This causes the hotel to become a bit noisy, particularly if you are staying on the first floor. On the upside, the food in the restaurant is good & the bar has a very fun atmosphere, so if you are looking for a little excitement, you can find it right in the lobby!
