Question: How was your stay with your friends in India?

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the St. Francis with some mixed results, but overall, a nice experience. We arrived Friday, late afternoon. No valet parking for my husband, he can't stand to see someone else drive his car, so we spent some time trying to find access to the Union Square Garage (right across the street from the hotel) to park the car. This is a nice feature when you finally get into the garage, much cheaper than paying the valet to park your car in the exact same parking garage. I think we paid $67 for friday-sunday stay, where as the St. Francis charges $50 a day, I believe. Wheeled our luggage across the street to the St. Francis, which had a bustling entrance, cabs in line, valet dudes at the ready, and a steady stream of people walking in and out of the revolving door. When we walked into the hotel, I just wanted to concentrate on getting checked in, so I have to admit to not really noticing the nice entry hall/lobby area of the hotel, although later on, when I had time, I was appreciative. There was a line to check in, but it moved quickly. We booked via Expedia, which I perhaps incorrectly suspect gives us a worse chance of getting a good room, and when I found out we were on the 4th floor, above Union Square, my suspicions were confirmed. We were booked in the older part of the hotel, which I was a bit excited about, ambiance and all that corny stuff. Plus, with no kids on the trip, the character of the older rooms would not be such a big deal. So, up to the fourth floor, big beautiful hallways, marble floor molding, wainscoting, tastefully decorated all the way. Walking into our room, the sheer size of it was impressive. We had booked a King room, and there was plenty of space around the bed to walk, along with two sitting chairs (not comfortable at all) and a small desk and business-type chair (which didn't really go with the decor). The room had a closet, a minibar, flat screen tv, coffee maker with Starbucks and a safe. Nice big window in there as well, overlooking a noisy street. The bath was small, but tastefully decorated. My husband loved the room. He can sleep through anything, so he had some great sleeps during our stay. I am a light sleeper and heard the street noise, which included a band on Friday night right below our window, the usual city sirens, and the banging of the doors in the hallway of the other guests. The bed, I must say, was quite comfortable. It was nice to be in a hotel room without Spongebob on the t.v.! Our experience at the bar later that night was enjoyable, although the prices were a bit steep for us Nevadans. They did serve a wonderful martini though! Coming back from our concert at 2:00 a.m., the hotel lobby was still quite a happening place! It was nice to come back to this beautiful room after a loud, two hour mind numbing concert. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, which I am sure was influenced by the fact that we left the two kids at home, and we decided that next time we would try the modern tower, maybe that would be a quieter experience. The proximity to shopping and food makes this hotel a great choice for a visit to San Francisco. Just ask for a room up a bit from the street!

Question: How good was your experience?

We stayed at Parc 55 for 2 nights while touring San Francisco and had a wonderful stay. While it is 2 blocks from Union Square, there is a trolley, street car and subway station literally outside of the door! There are also numerous shops and restaurants making it an ideal location. The hotel is newly renovated and we were very pleased with the cleanliness and spaciousness of the room. We also went to the hotel bar one of the nights and had a great time - service was great. We were able to get a great deal on Hotwire ($89 a night) - for that price, this hotel cannot be beat! I would recommend parking in another location, since they charge about $50 a night (we found a lot right down the street that was $25 a night).

Question: What is the customer service?

I stayed at Hotel Adagio for two nights during Memorial Weekend.Rooms weren't available until 3 pm so the hotel reception was more than happy to hold onto our luggage. When I checked-in, I was given a corner room. What a space?! Comfy beds, lots of windows, standard desk for my laptop and the room faced the front of the hotel. The hotel lobby had a rich scent of coconut/vanilla. I swore if they had a bed there, I would sleep there. I do wish they that would've brought some of those colors used to accentuate the lobby into the rooms. Overall, pleasant experience. Free coffee/tea every morning!

Question: Does this hotel have a good city view?

We were in san Fran as part of our honeymoon and ended up at The Fairmont after we had a terrible first night at a different hotel. My Mum arranged for us to stay at The Fairmont from The UK. On arrival we were blown away - compared to where we had stayed the night before! The entrance is beautiful! We were given a corner tower room on the 12th floor for our first night which was wonderful, we had amazing views of the city, for our second night we were lucky enough to stay in the suite on the 12th floor. This was all thanks to Ana who did an incredible job on the reception desk and we can truely say that she made the final part of our honeymoon unforgettable. The suite was out of this world, we had views of the city and of the bay! Just wonderful! I cannot say a bad word about this hotel. I would love to stay again!!!Thanks Again Ana!

Question: Do you make a fabulous staff?

We recently visited the US for our honeymoon and stayed at the Hotel Drisco and I really can't fault this hotel in any way. The staff were lovely, helpful and friendly. The room was fantastic and they even put a complimentary bottle of wine in our room as a gift for our honeymoon (nice touch). We had an extra night in San Fransico at the end of our trip so rebooked at this hotel. The second room was again lovely, however the walls were a little thin, but to be honest it didn't bother us at all and I can't speak highly enough about this hotel. Every morning there was a complimentary basic breakfast (which was everything we wanted, cereal, pastries, coffee, tea, juice, toast etc) in the sitting room and in the evenings they had complimentary wine and cheese, and it was good! The Hotel itself is situated in Pacific Heights which in my opinion is nicest area of San Fransico but it is a $5-$10 taxi ride from Fishermans Wharf etc - however the hotel is in walking distance of some awesome resteraunts & the area is very safe and and is really a tourist attraction itself. The Hotel will also organise for Resteraunt delivery if you require it. On the last day, they arranged for late check out because we didn't have to go to the airport until later, they also arranged a town car to pick us up and whilst we were waiting for the town car we sat in the waiting area.... Which was fully equiped with biscuits, newpapers, tea, coffee and some really comfortable chairs. To sum up - Thank you for being so wonderful, I can not reccommend this hotel enough & to be honest if it is available your crazy if you don't book it. Out of all the hotels in America it was our favourite.

Question: How is the staff in means of friendly?

I was traveling on business but with a significant other, so this trip was as much a vacation as anything. I booked this hotel on Priceline for a quarter what it was selling for on the open market. From what I can tell Priceliners usually get a very cramped room with no view in the "old" section. That was still fine with me, as the spectacular location, gorgeous public spaces, fantastic staff, and Heavenly Bed and Bath were good enough for me. And regardless, for about $60 a night they would have upgrading into the newer section (still a good value). We checked in late and, I'm assuming as a result, were given an upgraded room in the "new" tower on a high floor. It was magnificent. Spacious, clean, modern and with great views of San Francisco... it transformed out trip. As I mentioned, all Westin rooms (including this one) had wonderful beds and bathrooms. The front desk staff was friendly and more importantly polished - something I find less and less of these days. The room service, cleaning staff, and doormen were all excellent as well. I find the reviews complaining about extra charges at a four star hotel a little lame. It is, in fact, really annoying to pay high fees for internet, the business center, parking, fitness, breakfast etc. However that high end hotels charge for these services is no secret - avoiding them is a big part of why so many business travelers stay at places like Courtyard or Hilton Garden Inn. While those hotels might be a better value, they simply cannot touch the heritage and, frankly, class of the Westin St. Francis and its staff. They actually succeeded in turning a hotel stay into a memorable experience for my partner and me - something very hard to come by for otherwise budget travelers.

Question: How good are the staff here?

I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel. The service was spot on and very consistent. My check in was late but the desk agent was so warm and hospitable it made me feel right at ease. What a refreshing thing to find whilst traveling. It seems to be getting more and more rare these day. My check out was just as nice. I have to say, just a smile and a "how was your stay" goes a long way. As for my room, well i was in the presidential suite and I am sure my apartment in NY was a quarter of the size. I found additional rooms the next day and still think there may have been more if i kept looking. I would have moved in if I could. All this AND the room was spotless. Room service was prompt and the food was tasty. Valet could have been a little faster but the hotel was very busy and one can only have so many cars in the car port at a time, so I was not bothered. All in all, a great stay! The only prob I had was the gym was not free to the guest. Still it's a fine hotel with a gracious staff who know how to welcome their guests. Well done! In addition, upon my return home, I received a personalized e-mail from the GM thanking me for my business. Very nice touch.

Question: How is the parking lot?

This was a great hotel to park the car and walk or take the transit. The area was safe and we had no problems, walking to Fishermens Warf or to the movie theater. As far as the parking goes, it is very tight fit and we had a small car. However, the cost to park, $26 US a night was the best value for any hotel parking that I could see, so no complaints there. I would definatly stay here again.

Question: How is the view?

We recently enjoyed a weekend stay at The Fairmont San Francisco through Disney Vacation Club points usage. As a quintessential San Francisco property, there is much to this property as well as nearby.We stayed in room 590, the Dunkirk suite. It is a corner accomodation with great city views. It is well appointed in the classic sense; elegant Napoleonic decor along with modern touches like large flatscreens and two full baths. Along with numerous lounges and restaurants, I would recommend the Tonga Room. It is a Polynesian themed lounge and restaurant replete with thatched roofs, tiki iodols and rain falling from the ceiling accompanied by thunder from the loudspeaker. A true nostalgic experience!This hotel is ideally situated at the intersection of two cable car lines, and walking distance to Chinatown. It boasts an enviable location atop Nob Hill, and the service aspect from the staff is one of total service.This hotel is ideal for couples or families on a holiday, all the way to conventions. As it is a classic hotel, it will not have all the wired amenities of newer properties like a W Hotel, and Nob Hill is a bit far from the airport or Silicon Valley. However, if you enjoy classic hotels, this is among the best.

Question: Was the service optimal?

Recently stayed in a room with a bay view in The Fairmont Tower. Loved it. Amazing view. Very good service. The main bar/restaurant is quite nice. Did not have the food but did have drinks there. Great setting. The food at the restaurant in the lower level is not very good so stay away. The fitness facilities at nicer hotels always amaze me. I find them inadequate. This was no exception. They have an arrangement with a local gym that is housed in the lower level. Not very impressive at all but I don't expect much from hotel gyms. Overall a wonderful stay in a great setting!

Question: How was the hotel staff?

I had high hopes for our trip to San Francisco and staying at the Drisco ensured a wonderful trip. From my first contact with the staff to make our reservation, everything went incredibly smoothly. The staff is exceptional, always willing to go the extra step. They are professional yet friendly and if they can't answer a question immediately they will find the answer quickly. The actual number of staff is also impressive. The hotel is located in a magnificent area in SF and while it is not in the center of all the action, the view from the hills of Pacific Heights is far more exciting. The hills are rigorous but we also had a car and we had no trouble parking. You do have to move the car every three hours but the staff offered to do it for us if we weren't around! We had no trouble getting a cab as the hotel called them for us and they were there within 10 minutes. You are also near the Fillmore Street and Chestnut Street shopping areas which are a lot of fun. Our family stayed in a lovely two bedroom city view suite, which gave us ample room and stunning views. The bathrooms are large and well appointed. The continental breakfast and wine and cheese hour included for all guests makes the Drisco even more special and affordable. The dining room and sitting rooms are quite comfortable and inviting. We stayed a week and were extremely happy and would not even think of staying anyplace else when we return to SF.

Question: What do you think about concierge?

My family stayed there for 3 nights, loved some things and disliked others. The concierges were great! Front desk staff were lousy. The walls were also very thin, you could hear everything that goes on next door. Our stay hit bottom when we checked out and was charged 3 nights instead of 2. We had reserved our room under the stay 2 nights and get 1 free package that was on their website. Not only was the offer not honored but the staff on duty was rude and lazy, didn't want to lift one finger to help, basically just refused to do anything about that mistake. I had to yell to get the manager to reverse the charge. Bottomline, would not stay there again for that price. Want to find a hotel with better service.

Question: Is it value for money?

Yep, I have to agree with all those folks who gave the Castle Inn 5 stars. Spacious rooms, clean and tidy, and modern furnishings in excellent condition. No noise or security problems. Central location in a decent neighbourhood, and pretty close to just about anywhere you might want to go. Walgreens just around the corner for all your bits and pieces, and you can catch the 49 and 47 buses (to get you to Market Street) two minutes from the hotel. Very friendly and helpful folks on the front desk. And very reasonably priced. Overall, excellent value for money and highly recommended.

Question: Is this a real good food service?

The Omni hotel is nice enough, and tries to offer decent service. But the rooms are definitely hit or miss and it is quite random whether you will get a nice accommodation. On the plus side, the hotel is conveniently located downtown in the financial district. A bit far from the convention center or tourist destinations but great if you are in town for work. The staff is generally professional and helpful.The lobby is a bit small and it can be difficult to get past all the doormen to get to the desk. Mind you, they are friendly and willing to help, but often there are 3 standing right in front of the doors, sometimes one is on the staircase leading into the hotel, so it feels like you are sneaking past the Secret Service every time you enter the hotel. At some hotels the doormen quickly open the door and get out of your way but here they are usually in conversation and don't notice you until you are already past.Speaking of small, the rooms are on the small side as well, which is not too uncommon for an older property. Don't waste your time on a "premium" room as the extra square footage is mostly in a long hallway that isn't useable. On paper these rooms are larger but they end up feeling the same size.Premium rooms also have two televisions but unfortunately the Omni is one of those hotels that has upgraded to 'high-def" TVs but not high-def programming. Everything on screen is stretched wide to fill the wider screen, which ends up making everything all distorted - all the actors look squat and fat. Some hotels allow you to set the TV back to the regular aspect ratio to fix this, but not the Omni. I guess they don't want the black bars on the sides of the screens. But the result is that they can claim to have high-quality TVs while the picture quality is actually worse than your average Holiday Inn.Premium rooms offer "a courtyard view". Be aware that this means you will probably get some light through the window but the actual "view will be of a wall, or large machinery. Definitely nothing you would take a picture of if you aren't an HVAC engineer.If they are busy don't gamble on a smoking room unless you really don't mind the smell. The Omni gets a lot of heavy smokers so those rooms truly reek.The hotel restaurant is okay, basic big-city hotel food (at very high prices) but nothing to get excited about.All in all, if you can book during a slow period when you can easily change rooms to find one more to your liking then the Omni is an acceptable downtown hotel. But when reservations are scarce you are better off at a more reliable property.

Question: How is the parking?

The room was decent and had been recently renovated to about 80%. The amenities are mostly absent. The fitness room is joke and the "Kabuki Spa" is actually blocks away. The place is in the middle of nowhere, the nearest point of interest is over a 1 1/2 miles away. Add at least $30 a day for cabs. Don't bother if you drive, the parking is always full. Even the closest decent breakfast place (the buffet is not even close to standard) is a mere 12 blocks, which makes for a nice, brisk morning walk.Don't order room service unless you want to get ripped off. A item of $14 dollars arrived with a bill of $24 by the time they added various suspect charges. There is a cool tea set in the room but no coffee.The price wasn't too bad for an off-season rate in San Francisco @ $140/night for deluxe room. The building engineer, housekeeping and some of the doormen are friendly but the rest of the staff is ice cold.

Question: How is the view from this hotel?

Hotel is close to China town and Union Square, a little further walk to Fisherman's wharf. Cable car stop just outside. Room was amazing. Beautiful views of the city. Bathroom was luxurious. Service was outstanding. The slightest request brought swift and curtious responses. Only thing was the dining room was closed when we arrived at 6pm for some reason, and valet parking added $50 a day to an already expensive bill.

Question: How is kitchen?

Our family stayed at the Grosvenor Suites for 4 nights. We had a huge room on the 19th floor with a view of the city. We had two queen beds and a sofa that made into a bed. The beds were very comfortable, although I thought they could have had better pillows. There was a large TV, a large table with two chairs, and the lighting in the room was good. The bathroom was small, but adequate. There was a closet and there were drawers to store our clothes in so that we did not have to live out of our suitcases the entire trip. We also had a kitchen, and it was nice to have the refrigerator to keep our wine and soft drinks cold. We never cooked there, although there were pots and pans, a toaster, coffeemaker, utensils, etc. The staff at the front desk were always polite and extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Checkout was at 12 Noon. Our flight was at 10:00 p.m., and we were delighted when the staff offered to store our luggage for the day while we continued to see the sights of San Francisco. They have a computer in the lobby for public use, and we were always able to use it when we wanted. They also have wireless internet in the rooms. Free continental breakfast consisted of several juice choices, coffee, milk, assorted cereals, assorted bagels, danish, donuts, and apples. I would highly recommend this hotel--I thought the price was very reasonable and the location was perfect. They charge $30 to park your car for the day, but we found a free spot on the street very nearby.

Question: How is the pool area?

What a little gem. San Francisco is a very expensive city. We located this on Trip Advisor and based on reviews booked it. We stayed here for two nights on 9/17 & 18, 2004. What was most impressive was the hospitality of the managers (Varsa and Sy)! What a welcome...so helpful! They provided great information about how to get around the city and where to go. The room was big...somewhat older building...very clean! Good shower (that's always important); however, bathroom was small. Not a bad distance from the warf...we walked it up and back (however, we're in pretty good shape). We even walked to the cable cars to take down to the warf. Found a nice little Italian restaurant around the corner "Little Joe's" -- good eats for small change. Overall, I would highly recommend Castle Inn -- Good price for location and clean. Further, the hosts are exceptional! You can tell this is a "small place" - 24 rooms I believe - and personal service.

The Hotel Adagio is absolutely FABULOUS! The location was key, staff ever so accommodating, rooms extremely spacious with visually appeasing earthy tones, aveda spa products, a hot-spot restaurant located right in the lobby, timely valet service and an overall hip and upbeat atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this property to any of my friends traveling to the SF area - and already have. The Adagio is everything you would want from an upscale boutique hotel experience. Thanks for providing a wonderful time for my boyfriend's birthday weekend! :)

Question: What is room size?

Booked the room on Expedia. Web site indicated we would have a "Deluxe Room" with a king bed. When we arrived at the hotel, they did not have any king beds available. They said that the booking on Expedia was a "special request" and not a guarantee. The room was extremely small. The bathroom was tiny, but the closet was relatively large. There was no AC in the room. Although the temperature in SF didn't require AC, the only way to regulate the temperature in the room was to open and close the windows and put on the ceiling fan. The outside street noise was loud due to the need to keep the window open, and the hallway noise was loud as well. The hotel itself is much smaller than it appears in their online photos.There are other hotels within one/two blocks of the Larkspur. I would have paid an additional $50 a night to have a larger and quieter room with better temperature regulation.

Question: How is the parking?

Have stayed at the Laurel Inn three times and have always had a great visit. Rooms are immaculate, beds are comfortable, staff is very friendly and helpful, great continental breakfast in the morning, warm chocolate chip cookies in the evening. The hotel in on a bus route in a safe neighborhood for walking with many restaurants in the neighborhood with varying price ranges and great shops to browse. Some rooms have kitchenettes. Parking is very convenient in their own garage. A nice, friendly bar is across from the hotel which is great for a glass of wine before dinner. We are always greeted warmly when we return. We recommend the Laurel Inn to all our friends traveling to the Bay area.

Question: How is the staff?

Stayed from Sept. 17 - 21. Perfect hotel located right next to cable cars and Union square just around the corner. The rooms/bathroom are small but nice and clean. But who cares you only sleep there and are out most of the day. Staff was friendly and very helpfull. Breakfast was good however there was not enough table and chairs for everybody. I would recommend this hotel to family and friends.

Question: How do you like the view?

The Grand Hyatt in San Francisco is close to everything. It's right by Union Square and near the main bus routes and basically right on top of the cable car routes.  After driving into San Francisco, my husband and I both swore off driving in the city until we had to drive to leave. Its streets are chaotic! Thankfully, with the location of the hotel, we didn't have to worry. We were able to go sight seeing and see everything we wanted because of the location of the hotel near public transportation. Thanks the both the concierges who were able to give detailed bus/trolley/cable car routes to us. They were so helpful! Check in and check out was a breeze. The lobby is beautiful. Our rooms were smallish, but that's definitely what I expected in a high rise hotel in central San Francisco! We had excellent views from our room and from the lounge a few floor above us. Smashing.

Question: How is it the cheese?

My (brand new) Husband and I picked this hotel for whilst we were getting married in San Francisco. We had a lot of family members coming with us and wanted something in a central location to all of their hotels. And boy did we get more than that. We had just dropped off some of my relatives at other hotels just near by, and my parents (who stayed at The Inn with us) were a bit put off by the entrance way (Blink and you'll miss it!). But as soon as we got our keys and got to our rooms we knew we had made the right choice! Once we had finished unpacking I found my folks sitting at the end of the LONG hall way enjoying a glass of wine, some cheese (all complimentary) and chatting with some other residents... We found out loads sitting at that table over the next few days... the places to go and not to go, the best ways to get around... and by the time we were about to leave we found ourselves passing the knowledge on to other holiday makers When we left this place was ranked No. 2 on trip advisor.... It's now No.1. This is in no doubt, thanks to the staff, the locality, the hospitality and the price..... if you want a huge lobby and get charged extra for walking through some grand entrance... go for it.... if you want to feel as though you could pick your hotel up and give it a hug... The Inn at Union Square is for you! The night of our wedding we returned to our room to find a bottle of Champagne, some Truffles and the most beautifully worded personal letter from the hotel, whishing us happiness in our marriage.Inn at Union Square ***High Five*** you totally deserve the No 1 Slot for hotels in San Francisco! We will be back!Georgina, Stewart and Lucie (room 306)

Question: How did you find the staff?

We stayed at this hotel for two nights while recently in San Fran. Be warned the photos you see of this place on the web and in magazines make it look A LOT nicer that it really is. Art hotel, sure. Boutique hotel, noooo way!Rooms are surely individual and uniquely painted, but that is all that they have going for them. Contemporary beds and the room furniture were nothing more than plywood construction w/ a nice coat of black paint. At least our chair was from Ikea. The carpet is dingy + we wore sandals the entire time for fear of foot-born illness. There was graffiti on our toilet seat. Sick. I can't imagine what it would have been like had we not splurged for the private bath.Worst of all...I woke up in the middle of the night w/ really itchy legs. After being awakened at 6:30 am by someone using a saw in the building next door, I noticed my calves and thighs were covered in bites that i didn't have prior to getting into be there. Bed bugs to the max!!! We found the staff to be quite unhelpful and not friendly. They seemed like they just don't want to be there. This place is totally a hostel in disguise. Setup and facilities aside, be aware of the lack of cleanliness. Take your money + go elsewhere.

Question: Does this hotel have a good staff?

Had a wonderful 5 nights staying at the Tuscan Inn at Fisherman's Wharf. The front desk staff were very helpful. The hotel itself was one of the best we have stayed in. It had such a warm and friendly atmosphere. The wine tasting in the afternoon made available from the manager was a really nice touch as was the free tea and coffee in the lobby in the morning which got you off to a great start for the day. The hotel was very central to everything. We walked to Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, Starbuck's, laundromat (1/2mile from hotel). Italian restaurant next door to hotel had fantastic food. As for the room we could only find one complaint which was the shower head. Apart from this the room itself was perfect, very clean and fresh clean amenities every day. Attractions that we feel are a must are:- Segway tour, Cable car and Ghiradelli ice cream is a must!! These attractions are in very close proximity to each other. Jacob on the Segway tour was very patient and lots of fun. Also make sure you visit Alcatraz.

Question: How is it the cable car stop?

Had no problems with the Stratford. Fabulous location, right in the heart of Union Square, 2 minute walk to Macy's and all the great shops. Cable car stop right outside the hotel entrance. Perfect place to stay if no transport as Fishermans Wharf accessible by cable and walk to Union Square.Stayed from 17/10-19/10 so for a short stay was great, breakfast was excellent, cereal, toast, fresh muffins, juice and tea & coffee.Rooms are very small but fine for just sleeping and getting ready, shower good pressure and everything clean and room serviced perfectly every morning.Lift is very slow but as we were on level 3 it was no problem to take the stairs rather than wait.All in all would definately reccomend this hotel to anyone travelling to San Francisco, for the price the location is unbeatable and it is clean, safe and all you need. If we return to San Fran would definately be booking the Stratford
