Question: How is hotel staff?

Stayed at the Galleria Park on my first trip to San Francisco. The decision to stay at this hotel was from the information I received from tripadvisor. The hotel and staff were far above average. The room was small but very clean, The amenities include an exercise room, morning coffee, evening wine and free weekend parking. For a first time visitor to San Francisco the hotel's location was convenient to the cable car, shopping, restaurants, Chinatown and a 1.3 mile walk to Fisherman's Wharf. I plan future visits to San Francisco and plan to stay at this hotel.

Question: Why is this hotel a funny place?

This was a really fun place to stay in San Francisco. I found a fantastic rate on Hotwire for this hotel. The hotel's interior is gorgeous with much attention to detail. The bar was quite fun and the location is unbeatable. I would definitely stay here again.

Question: How is the view?

The hotel was in a GREAT location, close to all the downtown shopping.but once we walked in the room was average. we stayed on the 32nd floor and had a great city view. but the tv was likely a 10 year old tv. The Bed was great.the bathroom was average, and had a small 5" tv. that was long and likely from 1990.there is NO pool.. I just assumed a 4 star hotel would have a pool.the view from the 36th floor restaurant was amazing, but you could stay at motel 6 and come eat up here as well.the lobby is just average.I travel a bunch, and this would easily be a 3 star hotel.

Question: How is people attention?

Upon walking in the hotel, the staff was extremely pleasant, kind and happy to see me. The lobby is quite spacious for a boutique hotel and every night they have a complimentary wine hour from 5pm to 6pm. The hotel is located just steps away from the Chinatown arches and a few short blocks from Union Square. At night, the neighborhood felt very safe and, during the day, it is a bustling area with many dining options and plenty of shopping. My room, on the 3rd floor, was very small. Everything just fit in the room: the queen bed, the TV, drawers, desk and 2 bed tables. The bathroom was very small and the closet space was pretty average. But, it didn't matter. I just needed a place to sleep and take a shower so I wasn't looking for anything fancy. Everything was very clean and I slept soundly in the very comfortable bed. Also, the rate was excellent and I feel like I got my money's worth at this hotel.I have only one complaint.: The ventilation was not very good. I needed to keep the air conditioner on the entire time and it was not particularly humid. It's San Francisco and simply opening the windows provides natural air conditioning. Unfortunately that wasn't an option because the AC unit was located in the only window. Also, one strange thing I noticed was that the fire emergency instructions, located on the inside of the front door, were upside down. Fortunately, there was no fire and I didn't have to stand on my head to read how to safely exit the building!Overall, a nice little hotel but, if you need a lot of space, make sure to check directly with the hotel to make sure you are getting a big room. I think they do have a few larger rooms but most of them are tiny like mine was. Also, try to get a room with a couple windows that open so that you have good ventilation.

Question: Is the staff trained?

After driving 9 hours to San Francisco we were met by a very rude individual at the front desk. My wife and I were exhausted. We are also large adults. We have never been able to sleep on a queen size bed. The clerk could see this and informed us that we would have to sleep on a queen size bed unless we paid an aditional $160.00 up grade. Our original reservation for a kingsize bed woud not be honored at this hotel at the agreed price. We had no choice but to pay an aditional $160.00. We were also lectured why we should never use hotel.com. Actually," this was our own fault". Over all, the Hotel was okay, but we did feel cheated. I would never recommend this experience to anyone. Customer service is also very poor. We met several rude staff. Management has a real problem here. This all reflects on poor leadership. The clerk went on to explain that this happens all the time here. What this means is that Cathedral Hotel does it all the time. Buyer beware.

Question: Does this hotel have a good city view?

My friend and I stayed 3 nights at the Fairmont and would definately return. The room (2 queens) was plenty big, enormous walk in closet, well appointed bathroom. Nice view of the city from room 608. Room service was speedy, but quite expensive ($27 in food ended up costing $45 with tips, fees, taxes, etc). Reception was speedy, friendly, helpful. The concierge service was fabulous--tips, advice, tickets, anything our hearts desired. Baggage service took extra precautions with my lap top, and immediately produced our stuff when we needed our bags. The health club receptionist recommended I join the President's Club (------------, took about 2 minutes and they only wanted basic demographics). My President's Club number saved me the $10/day gym fee and the $13.95/day internet access fee. It also got me clean work out wear to borrow (I forgot my running shoes). The only service problem was waiting over an hour for a maid to bring me the shoes. I'm sure the rack rate is steep, but I would return to the hotel without a second thought if I could get a deal. The Tonga Room is a hoot--don't miss the rain storms with buffet and 1/2 price drinks at Happy Hour.

Question: How is the service?

I just got back from a four day trip to San Francisco for business. I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful service and great location of this hotel. From the time we got there, the service was super. I needed an extra chair for my room so my colleague and I could work on a project, it was brought to me within 10 minutes. The breakfast was served with a refreshing fruit smoothie taster and we were sent on our way for the day with a granola bar. When we arrived back at the hotel at the end of a long work day, we were greeted with a glass of cold champagne. I had some trouble with the internet and it was immediately removed from my bill. We rarely had to wait for a taxi as the valet fetched one as soon as we asked for it. The turndown service with bottled water and chocolates was also a welcome touch. The location is so central, you could walk or cable car wherever you needed to go. I would definitely stay here again!

Question: How is experience?

I was staying in S.F. for a conference. The conference hotel was much more expensive and had terrible reviews on TripAdvisor. I stayed a couple of blocks away at this very nice property, and I had a pleasant stay. I received a complimentary upgrade to a Queen Suite upon check-in. The room was clean and comfortable, and the suite was spacious. I did see inside one regular (non-suite) room, and it was small, similar in size to hotel rooms I have stayed in in London and New York City. There is complimentary wine in the evenings, and free continental breakfast is included in the price of the room. Free and particularly tasty cookies were set out each evening. The security system required guests to scan their room key card both to enter the building in the evening and to use the elevator at any time.There are only 2 downsides to staying at this hotel, and neither really has nothing to do with the hotel itself. The Union Square area seemed to have lots of tourists, and consequently many homeless people begging. Although none were particularly aggressive toward me, it was sometimes annoying. Also, Post St. is one of the major routes into Union Square, and there is lots of traffic. One of my windows faced it, and it was noisy. However, because of the hotel's floor plan, most rooms do not face Post St. My bedroom was very quiet, as it was not on Post St.

Question: Where is the parking lot located?

We live only 25 minutes from SF and decided last minute to go one night Labor Day Weekend. We took our chances on Hotels.com to get a room w/ balcony. But no luck. Room was on the smallish side, but clean. The sleep number bed is truly a joke. My seven yr old found it hilarious to take it down to zero..too much like a toy. Still, if you have to share and sleep on the edge it's like having a 2x4 in your back. Yep, parking is $35 with a small parking lot that brought out the worst in folks when trying to get a stall. However, they let you check out and leave car until 7:00 at no extra charge. So we went to lunch and took a cable car ride before heading home. If you do this, you must check out and get a new key card to get let yourself out of the garage.  First time I've encountered an establishment who really heats the pool, and we had a nice swim. Pool area clean with tables, lounges and towels.Location to Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf is fantastic.So much fun just to ride down the elevator and be there!We found the staff to be accomodating with requests and the concierge was working his rear off to help everyone out.Though there are plenty of good hotels very close in distance to this, I would absolutely go back and just make sure I get the balcony room. That's one bonus most of the others can't offer.

Question: How do you like the street noise?

The hotel is proximate to a lot of interesting things -- it's at the terminus of the cable car line to Chinatown, there's a BART stop right out the door, the Moscone and MoMA are three blocks away. The disadvantage of this location is the location: that part of the city is very noisy. The staff were top notch in helpfulness and enthusiasm. The room was small, but comfortable with a lot of pillows on the bed and a ceiling fan for cooling. For amenities, there was a flat screen TV (basic channels), free wireless, coffee maker, and hair dryer.As for minuses: the bathroom had mini-blinds whose louvers weren't adjustable, but pointed down. The problem was the hotel across the street would have a [bad] into the activities in the bathroom.

Question: How is the hotel?

I had a great stay at this beautiful, historic hotel while in San Francisco for a meeting. My room which was reasonably priced had a lovely view and although near the elevator was very quiet. I enjoyed the Tonga room and am sorry to hear that it will be closing . The only reason I did not give the hotel 5 stars is that on more than one occasion personnel seemed to be steering me to specific restaurants and/or tour companies.

Question: What do you think about bed?

The Westin St. Francis is one of the grand old hotels that has kept up with the times without sacrificing its old feeling. It is perfectly situated right on Union Square. Of course that also means taxi horns to lull you to sleep if you get a room fronting on Powell Street. I've previously stayed in rooms in the old section of the hotel and found them dark, noisy, and small. This time we opted for room in the newer addition and found it more in line with my expectations of a Westin. This blending of the classic old lobby, restaurants and bar, with the newer bigger and nicer room worked perfectly, although initially it almost seemed like heresy not to stay in the original older building.Westin was the first chain to adopt a deluxe signature bed and their Heavenly Bed is so nice I bought one for my home bedroom. The bathroom was recently updated with new fixtures. Our room had a wonderful view stretching from Nob Hill to the Bay Bridge. Ask for a higher floor if view is important to you.The more expensive a hotel is, the more likely they'll charge for things like internet access that are free in lesser hotels. I'd really like an explanation of this principal, because it comes across as nickle and diming their customers, trying to grab every cent of potential additional profit. Westin as a chain apparently encourages this and I wasn't at all surprised that the St. Francis wanted $20 a day for internet access.

Answer: sacrificing its old feeling

<hl> The Westin St. Francis is one of the grand old hotels that has kept up with the times without sacrificing its old feeling . <hl> It is perfectly situated right on Union Square. Of course that also means taxi horns to lull you to sleep if you get a room fronting on Powell Street. I've previously stayed in rooms in the old section of the hotel and found them dark, noisy, and small. This time we opted for room in the newer addition and found it more in line with my expectations of a Westin. This blending of the classic old lobby, restaurants and bar, with the newer bigger and nicer room worked perfectly, although initially it almost seemed like heresy not to stay in the original older building. Westin was the first chain to adopt a deluxe signature bed and their Heavenly Bed is so nice I bought one for my home bedroom. The bathroom was recently updated with new fixtures. Our room had a wonderful view stretching from Nob Hill to the Bay Bridge. Ask for a higher floor if view is important to you. The more expensive a hotel is, the more likely they'll charge for things like internet access that are free in lesser hotels.

Question: How is the concierge?

Although we enjoyed our stay at the Tuscan Inn it wasn't all I'd hoped it would be. Probably because I was so disappointed in the Fisherman's Wharf area itself. It was really dirty, crowded, crime-ridden and touristy. The food was bad and overpriced in general. The only place I really liked were some of the places on Pier 39, but I wouldn't eat at a sit-down restaurant here. I would stay in North Beach or Sausalito next trip. Food in North Beach was fabulous!.As far as the hotel, the room was clean but small. Beds very comfortable - we had a King with pull-out sofa for our 12-yr-old son. Nice big flat screen tv. They comped us an in-room movie when I reported that it was "jerky". Bathroom shower curtain reeked of mildew enough to smell up the room. I should have had them take it down and wash it, but probably got used to it. Staff was great. Concierge very helpful. Location was convenient. Grocery store and Trader Joe's just down the block. Pretty close to North Beach and cable car stops. One afternoon, a car window was broken right outside the hotel so they could steal the contents of the car. Lots of panhandlers. One lady reported cash was stolen out of her car by the valet parkers, but that was too stupid of her to leave it in the car. Parking at $45 a night was outrageous, but probably worth it to keep your car safe.

Question: Was the service optimal?

Just got back from the four seasons san fran. Nice hotel nut a little bit too corporate, not the best hotel if you have children. The pool can only be used by children over 16 needless to say we had a very upset 3 year old. Good location very close to shopping, so you could walk back to drop your bags off to do more shopping. As with all four seasons the service was fantastic.

Question: How is the continental breakfast?

My fiance and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in May around Memorial Day. Overall the room was nice with a very comfortable bed. The continental breakfast is nice, and the wine and cheese every night is a good touch. Staff was receptive and helpful, but seemed a little distracted. However, there were a few things that needed a little work. The bathtub was probably the biggest issue in the room. After 5 min in the shower there would be 2-3 inches of water around your feet. We mentioned this to the front desk 2x, and on day 3 someone finally came to look at it....and poured DranO down the drain. This didn't work, but we resigned ourselves to standing in bathwater while taking a shower. It also seemed the room had not been thoroghly cleaned before we arrived; there was dust in the corners, and some snipped wires laying on the floor by one bed. The wallpaper was peeling, and hanging off the wall in the bathroom; and for an advertised junior suite, it just brought down the overall ambiance of the room. Granted these were little things, but you would think that if you are paying for a suite, you would hope the little things would be taken care of. I would recommend it for people who want to be close to Union Sq, and do not plan on spending much time at the hotel.

Question: How is the view?

I have to admit that the location and view was perfect. But the overall experience was not. We made two reservations with them. One for a friday and saturday check-in but found out that we could make it over on thursday so we called to extend our stay or to get an earlier stay. Not only did they price us double the price we orginally got but also did understand the connection of having already booked a room for the next two nights. So instead I called priceline and booked a room for a much lower price. I have to admit I rather deal with priceline than direct service with Hyatt. Which says alot about Hyatt's overall customer service. But the bummer or reason for this low review is that after we left on Sunday they charged two charges on a debt card that was only used for the bar. This debt card was not used to hold the rooms nor were they given to the front desk. We called to ask about the charges and they say they could not help us. Only the accounting department could help. We asked them how was it possible not to be able to tell us what the charges were for. The lady on the line say its because they we a high end hotel therefore other departments took care of such things. Told us the accounting department will call us. They did not after two days! Only to reverse the charges 3 days later without a call or notice. I think this has to be the worst customer service I ever recieved from a hotel Econolodge even has better service. They charge for everything! No free internet/no free business center/ 45 dollars per day for parking. For 150 dollars a night you would think at least the internet was free.

Question: How is the quality of bed?

I reserved an upgraded double room in the tower upper floors. Upon check-in I was informed I'd been given a single room. Since I was traveling with two children this wouldn't work! I was then given a double on a lower floor with somewhat of a view. The carpets were stained, the drapes pulled loose at the top and the bathroom door completely missing a handle. The beds were great though!The lobby is beautiful but the rooms are mediocre at best. They have a children's "welcome" gift upon check-in but were out of "older" kids bags so we were given the toddler gifts that consisted of electrical outlet plug covers, a night light and a rubber duck. Not much use to a 9 and 10 year old!The location is great and the cable car stops right in front!

Question: How was the hotel staff?

This is a wonderful hotel. Our west facing room on the 5th floor was comfortable, clean, and spacious. Not luxurious, but cozy. I particularly enjoyed the large window in the bathroom that caught the Pacific breeze and also gave a discreet view of the city while I showered. The location is good, and the staff, while completely professional, are super friendly and full of good advice and conversation. We had dinner @ the Persian themed hotel restaurant and it was excellent. We are coming to the city again in August and will definitely stay here.

Question: How is the place?

Wife and I made our annual trip (actually, last visit was Dec.2007) to San Francisco, and our favorite hotel - The Omni. This is the fourth time in 4 years we've stayed here, and wouldn't stay anywhere else when visiting San Francisco. Stayed in a Signature room on the 16th floor, worth the extra cost. Staff is professional and willing to help in any way possible...from housekeeping to management. Financial district is a great, out of the way area to stay. Hotel bar looks out on the corner of California and Montgomery streets, and is a great place to enjoy a gargle or two with the wife, and people watch. Hotel's restaurant, Bob's, is a bit pricey, but the steaks are exceptional. Sublime luxury, but keep in mind that this is a luxury business-class hotel. so no swimming pool, or party people.....just the way I like it. Our stay is always a treat.

Question: How to be near a wharf with a car?

My family stayed for two nights in August at the Marriott Fisherman's Wharf at the start of our California trip. We arrived about noon and had easy check-in with the very courteous staff up front. Our room was small but clean and nice. The location is excellent, right near the Wharf and close to North Beach and Chinatown. Easy to walk everywhere if you enjoy exercise!The staff here was really great..friendly and professional. We were amazed at the international feel of the guests...it was fun to hear the different languages.The lounge area downstairs is nice...great bar with microbrews on tap and big screen TV.No pool or spa...only markdowns for that and rooms are a little small..otherwise a great place to stay!.

Question: Does this hotel have king bed on their rooms?

I stayed at this hotel in Jan 2006 for 3 nights. Honestly I don't really understand the bad reviews. I was there for a Conference and paid a discounted conference rate for the room, but even at standard rates would be worth it. The lobby and conference rooms were beautiful. Although the staff was not the best I've experienced they were more than polite, professional, and eager to help. I thought my room was very clean and quite frankly I've never seen hotel room carpet that clean! Nice bathrooms, with awesome water pressure, hot water, and robes to borrow. Beautiful view from window, and the window opened to allow fresh cool air in. I had a king size bed w/4 fluffy feather pillows. I thought the bed was very comfortable and slept quite well. The rooms were very quiet: no noise from the outside except for the occasional clang of the cable car(which I believe stops running around midnight) but really could barely hear it anyway, no noise from A/C, pipes, or other rooms. The only bad thing I can say about the hotel is any hallway conversations seem to carry and are extremely!!! audible, I could hear the housekeeping crew each morning and each night I could hear rude people having conversations in the hall and unfortunately it did wake me up. I don't know if it was the shape of the hallways, poorly insulated interior walls or thin room doors but it was loud, although once the talkers made it into their rooms I fell right back to sleep.I can't speak specifically about the restaurants at the hotel but all food was catered by the hotel for the conference and was quite good, especially horsdervs/buffets at evening receptions.Went to the Tonga Room one evening for drinks; good drinks although the atmosphere was a little cheesy and Disneyesque. I just think in this city and in this hotel a bar that is a little more chic and trendy would be better suited. It just didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the hotel.The hotel is literally at the top of Nob Hill with very steep walks back up the hill, but I'm young and healthy and didn't mind the walk. Cable car is convenient if unable to stand the walk. The Fairmont is also directly across the street from the Mark Hopkins Hotel(check out Top of the Mark) and The Huntington Hotel, all 3 are in good company of each other.Although there is no coffee makers in the rooms there is complimentary coffee in the lobby each morning.I highly recommend this beautiful, comfortable and well located hotel.

I just think in this city and in this hotel a bar that is a little more chic and trendy would be better suited. It just didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the hotel.The hotel is literally at the top of Nob Hill with very steep walks back up the hill, but I'm young and healthy and didn't mind the walk. Cable car is convenient if unable to stand the walk. The Fairmont is also directly across the street from the Mark Hopkins Hotel(check out Top of the Mark) and The Huntington Hotel, all 3 are in good company of each other.Although there is no coffee makers in the rooms there is complimentary coffee in the lobby each morning.I highly recommend this beautiful, comfortable and well located hotel.

<hl> I thought the bed was very comfortable and slept quite well <hl> .


Question: How attent was the staff?

4th of July and we walked to the incredible Marina fireworks. This is a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, 3 blocks from the Presidio, atop a hill with a view. So much space in our corner suite - kids comfy on the fold out, parents happy with the pocket doors and enormous bath. Great, helpful staff, tasty breakfast and our cab driver claimed that the hotel is "Jane Fonda's favorite," when she's in town. What more can you ask? Authentic, historic, beautiful San Francisco and we got a last minute fabulous rate. Will return!

Question: How do you like the continental breakfast?

We recently stayed here and enjoyed excellent service and a comfortable yet small room. The breakfasts and nightly wine and snack break were a nice touch. It turns out we had stayed here with some friends about 15 years ago and had not realized it was the same place. We were pleasantly surprised to find the Inn as friendly and helpful and if anything better kept as it was when we were along as guests those 15 years ago.My only suggstion would be if you are sensitive to noise ask for a room away from the outside air conditionerJ and B, Vancouver, Canada

Question: How is the street noise?

We stayed here for a long weekend trip and were very pleased. The Courtyard by Marriott is excellent for a quick weekend getaway in San Francisco without having to rent a car. This location is primarily intended for business travelers and has few tourist amenities. The rooms were clean comfortable and affordable. They feature large flat screen TVs and free wired Wi-Fi. In the lobby there is a Starbucks that is open during the day till 2pm. Our room was on the top floor and had some nice bridge and city views. The hotel also has a small snack bar next to the front desk. The hotel restaurant and bar looked much underused on the weekend but San Francisco has too many good food choices in any price range to consider hotel food. We did try an Indian fast food restaurant and a Chinese restaurant that were two blocks away and open weekends. Both were very good and inexpensive.The Hotel is very centrally located in the financial district. This means on weekends, restaurant choices are limited and the streets are quiet in the evening. The hotel is walking distance to a trolley line, bus lines and the Montgomery BART station. We purchased a three day MUNI bus and trolley pass at the airport and had no problem getting to all of the sights.If you are a tourist seeking a clean, comfortable inexpensive place this hotel fits the bill. Be sure to check out the special weekend rates.

Question: What do you think about building?

My daughter and I were in town for three days to find an apartment for her. We wanted to be near Union Square but didn't want to spend a lot of money. I chose this hotel after reading the reviews and was expecting an old, musty hotel. We were pleasantly surprised to find the hotel very well maintained, perfectly located and although there was a bit of old wood smell, what can you expect? It's an old hotel. The bed was very comfortable; the bathroom was clean; the continental breakfast left a bit to be desired, but all we wanted was coffee anyway. I have just booked a second stay for a friend and would recommend to any one wanting to be near everything without spending a lot of money

Question: What do you think about everything?

We wanted to stay in the Wharf area. This hotel was perfect. We arrived early and decided to park at the hotel and hopefully check in early. They allowed this, so we only had to pay the regular parking fee of the hotel. Way too much money to pay for parking, but that is the way it is in San Francisco. The room was beautiful, clean, and nicely decorated. The cons: low water pressure, toilet backed up. No continental breakfast, computer use in the lobby cost. The pros: location, friendly staff, beautiful rooms and comfy beds. We were walking distance to everything in the area, so never needed our car once we drove in.

Question: How does the concierge behave?

Answer: Concierge was very good

<hl> I would stay in a Mandarin Oriental in any city - as always top class staff that were very welcoming - check-in a little slow as i had arrived early but they found me a room within 10 minutes - not much of a view, but very nice room - great size, bright and airy - big bed, lots of room for luggage, desk for laptop, big bathroom - shower a little disappointing though, more of a mist than stream of water! - Concierge was very good - helped me with tickets to a game in San Diego - got us a table in Harris' steakhouse at last minute - even got the hotel car to drop us off - a nice touch, but nothing less than you would expect from this hotel group <hl>

Question: Is it food?

Hotel Vitale is a beautiful new hotel in great area of San Francisco - right across the street from the bay along the Embarcadero. The rooms have great views, nice bedding and big bathrooms. You can also find amazing food in the hotel's restaurant. We had a fantastic time and are recommending it to all our friends.

Question: How is the parking?

After ho-hum service and attitudes experienced during our trip we couldn't believe how helpful the staff were (Marshall and Arlene) at the Castle Inn. For our 2-night stay the room was spacious, extremely clean and well maintained. We had a car (but didn't need it) and parking was secure and free. We didn't feel unsafe in the area. The hotel isn't in a "no go" zone. We walked down to Fisherman's Wharf and got the cable car back (don't recommend you do the reverse!). The hotel even got our money refunded for a tour we took that didn't work out as advertised. This we didn't expect. We would definitely stay at the Castle Inn again. We didn't have any problems whatsoever and everything we needed was provided.

Question: Is this service sold out?

my boyfriend and I occasionally go to the city for a small get away. This is the first time we stay at comfort inn. The price was reasonable but the service was horrible, the guy at the front desk looks like he didn't know what he was doing. very disappointed at the "city view" when all we see out of our window was another building The room was small, there were not a lot of space for us to put our belongings. Some of the lights were broken. overall the room was rather clean.i would not advise any couple who wants to spend their anniversary here. i would spend more money to stay at a hotel instead.Parking lot is small and hard to move your vehicle, reasonably priced. 26 dollars. It is pretty cheap for parking in the city.

Question: How is the smell?

This is an boutique hotel with small rooms and an excellent location. But the hotel has a weird smell... Like being in a horse stable. I don't know what they use for cleaning, but it doesn't smell nice.When we arrived, we discovered that the top blanket on the bed was dirty with stains. We went to the front desk and asked for another, and he sent op a man to remove it.The bathroom was clean but needed a remodeling, it seemed pretty outdated. The complimentary breakfast was not even a breakfast, but only three kinds of pastry and coffee/tea. Thats too poor for a 3 star hotel. No free internet. But the location is very good and close to everything.

Question: How is bathroom?

Stayed at the Grand Hyatt for 3 nights during the middle of May. Nice lobby, clean rooms, comfortable beds, big bathroom with a good shower. The AC/heat was individually controlled with a digital thermostat and worked well. Our room was very quiet, was cleaned daily and restocked with towels while we were out during the day. The hotel is right in Union Square with easy access to mass transit and lots of shopping and places to eat nearby. No complaints!

Question: How is the parking rate?

We were with a group for a youth conference at AT&T park, and our group leader booked the hotel directly. He tells me that there was some confusion on the part of the night staff when we arrived at about midnight--it took a very long time to check in. He also says the desk staff in the morning was the opposite--very sharp and helpful. People might think that $27 for parking is high, but it's very reasonable compared to the rest of the city. Location was very convenient for our purposes. Yes, there are homeless in the neighborhood, but none of them approached us, and we felt that our kids were quite safe, with proper precautions we would use in any city (daytime only, always with adult supervisors). Rooms were not fancy, but were very clean. Bedding was adequately comfortable, but not "ahhhh." My bathroom had shower beginning to show signs of wear (cracking tiles), but tile and grout were perfectly clean. The 4th floor rooms open onto what I call a "hanging courtyard" running the length of the building, which is very nice for sitting with coffee in the morning. I was told that the upper floors (where others from our group stayed) had great views. The hotel is a good value for the price. There are several places to eat nearby on Market Street, including a "mom and pop" style diner, Burger King, and a coffee place. To sum up, if you want a good, functional, convenient hotel that's nicer than a motel, this is the place. If you want a nice, pampering experience, then you need to splurge somewhere else.

Question: How good is the staff?

Stayed at the Handlery following reviews on Tripadvisor. Great location in Union Square, and recommend stayimg in the Club rooms, as had a room on the 8th floor with a balcony overlooking the pool, and views of the city skyline. Room was large, well appointed and clean. The hotel has an excellent restaurant/diner attached 'The Daily Grill', which has a good menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Really friendly, efficient service and steaks! Overall a great place to stay in Union Square in the centre of SF.
