Question: How much does a room with a spacious lobby cost?

My husband and I stayed at the Marriott for a conference last week. It was a great conference property, large lobby, plenty of meeting space. Location was great for shopping- walk just a block or two and you will find a large selection of stores, ranging from Ross and Old Navy, to Macys and Nordstroms, up to Gucci and Armani. Short walk to cable car turnaround, about 8 blocks to Chinatown, 8 blocks to AT&T Park. You will have to either wait for the trolleys to get to Ghiradelli or Fishermans wharf, or take a cab- they are not within walking distance. Never a wait to get a taxi at the hotel, doormen and conceirge are a great help.

Question: How is the staff in means of friendly?

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Rex in April 2007 whilst visiting San Francisco from Australia. We found it via this web site and can I say - thank you trip advisor. It was our first trip to USA and we just loved SF and the Hotel Rex. The staff were fantastic, the rooms were nice and the location was perfect for us. We were half a block from the Cable Car line (Powell St), a short walk to 24hr convienience stores/Starbucks and Union square and just a short stroll to shopping, great bars/restaurants (including Andrees). There was free internet access which was great for overseas guests, complimentary wine tasting every night in the bar and a cab ride to Fishermans Wharf was around $8. Chinatown was a short cab ride, so too is AT&T Park for a Giants game. The only low light of SF was the amount of homeless people preying on you everytime you stop or pass them for money and the weather was unpredictable (not the Hotel Rexs' fault).Thumbs up from Oz

Question: Is the hotel good?

This was the first half of our California vacation. We spent the second half in San Diego. It was also the first time my husband and had been to California. Due to weather issues, we didn't arrive at the hotel until the early morning hours. There was no problem at check-in. We stayed on the first floor of the second building(the one with the Denny's). The security card escorted us to the build due to the late hour. The room was clean and well maintained. Since it was our first time in San Francisco we had alot of sightseeing to do and spent very little time in the room. The first morning we had breakfast in the restaurant in the main building. The service was a little slow. We ate breakfast for the rest of the trip at Denny's in our building. It was more convenient to come out of the room and go there. The Wharf is a short walk away, so is the F line trolley which you can take to get to Union Square and Chinatown. Also, a Cable Car line starts a few blocks away. You can get an all day Muni Pass from that station. The hotel staff was also very helpful in letting us know which transportation lines would take us where we wanted to go. We had a good experience with the hotel overall.

Question: What is the quality of service?

Situated on the higher floors of one of the highest buildings in the city we had an amazing view from our bay view room (definitely worth the extras money) from Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz, comfortable bed and well appointed bedroom but bathroom a little disappointing - one washbasin, one bar of soap and average toiletry products and towels a little unfluffy. Free internet in the business centre and public areas but not in the bedrooms. At these prices I felt it should be included. Lounge area quite small and dark and seemed to be used largely by businesspeople having meetings. Some examples of exceptional service (Concierge Michael is a star) but some of the reception staff, whilst polite and efficient at all times, lacked that extra special something. For business good choice; for leisure not so sure but the view is stunning!

Question: How beautiful is the place?

After reading the reviews I was expecting the worst... the hotel is comfortable, large rooms and friendly staff. Free breakfast was included which is a lot more than what we got in other much more expensive hotels we stayed in in California. The area which the hotel is in is indeed ghetto, drug dealers and users but they keep themselves to themselves. A bus or taxi is advisable to the centre as it is a distance to the main attractions. It is a budget hotel and doesn't claim to be anything else, worth the money and if you are travelling it is ideal. San Fran is really awesome ( least place we were looking forward to whilst travelling California) however it proved to be amazing. We cycled golden gate bridge, went to Alcatraz, countless bars and restaurants and lombard road is neat too! If you are staying for a short time then the Abigail is fine and a normal breakfast of toast and juice is what most people desire for breakfast not stacks of pancakes and fried food. Well done Abigail for getting this right! Oh and there is free internet in the lobby.

Question: How is the service of the hotel staff?

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in December before returning to NZ.This hotel was in a fabulous location- right on Union Square and the trams went right past the door!The room was a bit on the small side but it had everything we needed and was clean.The staff on the front desk were very helpful as was the lady who organised our taxi to take us to the airport.We would definitely stay here again. There is a Borders next door and a Walgreens in the same block. The hotel restaurant does a good breakfast.I recommend hiring a bike down at Fisherman's Wharf and cycling over the Golden Gate bridge down to Sausalito- and get the ferry back past Alcatraz!Also a great little bistro we found on the Powell-Hyde tram line called 1550 Hyde in Hyde St. www.1550hyde.com. Delicious food and nice atmosphere.

Question: What's the hotel like?

The Mosser is conveniently located close to the Union Square subway and Moscone Center. It's an older building that's been nicely renovated, with a few special touches, such as the stained glass in the lobby. If you're looking for a comfortable, affordable and congenially operated place to put your head down, give the Mosser a try. For less than we would have paid to share rooms at our conference hotel, my colleagues and I each had our own (very tiny) room, with shared bathrooms. A few more bucks buys a private bathroom and/or a double. Rooms are compact and functional, but not spartan. Everything is extremely clean, including the shared bathrooms. Speaking of which, bathroom access was fine. There is no air conditioning, so I slept with the window open, which was comfortable and safe - there was nothing outside my window except 8 stories of air. My room's location in the rear of the building lacked a view but it was extremely quiet ... except at 4AM, when the trash is picked up. Had I not been wide awake, anyway, due to jet lag I would have requested a different room and I have no doubt the pleasant front desk staf would have done their bst to accomodate me,The continental breakfast is fine but limited - excellent coffee and tea, along with one choice of muffin. It's served in the nicely restored, old time lobby where there are no tables, but a number of couches and window seats.Annabel's Bistro is part of the hotel, and both lunch and dinner were very good and reasonably priced. The popular happy hour features a wide selection of $5 mixed drinks and $5 appetizers.

Question: How was everything?

My husband and I Pricelined this hotel for $100 a night. First of all, Nob Hill is a fabulous location for a hotel, and ours intersected with two cable car lines which was even better. The staff was very sweet and one of the nice women at the counter kept letting us into the business center to use the computer to check in with family. The concierge was very helpful and had wonderful food suggestions. I LOVED the nightly turndown service and the complimentary hot beverage every morning. The toiletries were what you would expect from a nicer hotel, and I loved the old-fashioned styling of the room (my husband wasn't quite as fond since he's more into post-modern). It definitely made our experience in San Francisco one to remember. I'd definitely stay there again.

Question: How was service?

My family of six recently spent two wonderful nights at the Omni San Francisco. The Omni was our last stop on a two week long family vacation. We enjoyed our stay immensely. We loved the location as well as the terrific service we received at the Omni. At first I regretted my decision not to stay in the Fishermen's Wharf area but I came to find the Omni's location to be the perfect spot to explore the whole city. We walked as well as rode the cable cars (there is a stop right in front of the hotel) as well as the F Line street cars to get around. I highly recommend the Omni.

Question: What do you think about the staff?

We stayed at this hotel the last weekend of 2007 to attend a Bowl Game. We booked the hotel as part of an Alaska Airlines Vacation Package. We were not disappointed. Upon a late evening arrival we were greeted by cheerful staff. Everything around the hotel was closed and the staff brought us a complimentary bottle of wine which we enjoyed with our travel companions. This is an old hotel, but has a lot of character. It is clean and our bed was comfortable. We enjoyed being on the back side, not on the street and having our window open for fresh air and not having to listen to the noise of a heating/air unit. Being on Sutter Street, we walked to the main part of town often. We had breakfast in the restaurant and it was very good. We enjoyed the evening wine event one night. The lobby is very cozy and there are many places to sit and visit. Know that this hotel is old and the walls are paper thin. I think one thing the desk could do at check in is to advise people of this. You really have to use quiet voices. So if you don't like to do this, then you probably would not enjoy your stay. Again, friendly, helpful staff that truly make you feel welcome.

Question: How is people?

Hotel CarltonWhy is it a Good place?- very reasonably priced downtown hotel - we paid about $150 USD (including valet parking that was $30 extra) per night.- friendly, smiley and helpful staff that are very nice and polite.- clean rooms with excellent maid service.- free high-speed internet.- HBO and a decent selection of cable (yeah yeah who watches TV on vacation - this guy - sometimes... becase it beats the heck out of socializing with other guests in the lobby)- desk to work on in the room.- nice boutique feel to the whole hotel.What's wrong with the Carlton?- it's nearly impossible to say anything bad about the place because of the really friendly, smiley and helpful staff that are very nice and polite.... but I'm a bit of a jerk - so here are the cons anyway:- the rooms are very small (however, what the heck do you expect for the price in a major city, in a downtown hotel?).- you need a car or lots of cab or busfare money because despite being downtown there is nothing to see or do within a ten minute walk.- the bathroom in our room was a little beat up (still clean though) and the soap, shampoo and conditioner were in a dispenser mounted to the wall (like you'd find in a health club shower). This was a real inconvenience since my wife always takes the complimentary bath products from hotels. I found it quite difficult to pry the dispenser thing off the wall to take home. The front desk was again very helpful though and provided me with a flathead screwdriver to get the job done. - no gym - you have to pay 15 bucks to use a gym in the area. Having to pay 15 bucks and leave the hotel to find the gym was enough to convince me that I didn't really feel like working out.What's the deal with the guests chilling in the lobby?- For some unknown reason guests seemed to be always hanging out in the lobby... eating pizzas, sitting in front of the fireplace, drinking beverages, talking to each other, and reading the coffee table books.- I guess this is one of those things that makes the hotel feel super "boutiquey"?- MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE:- the rooms are really small; or because they serve wine at 5:30 p.m. for free in the lobby and people mull around til midnight; or because the staff are very friendly helpful, polite and super nice.- OR : - travellers on a tight budget?- thought it was weird but then again I'm not into bonding with other hotel guests.Overall - a solid place to stay in San Francisco - all my complaints are pretty superficial - I'd go back and stay at the friendly Carlton. It is what it is and for the price I think it would be difficult to find a better hotel.

Answer: the really friendly, smiley and helpful staff that are very nice and polite

Hotel CarltonWhy is it a Good place?- very reasonably priced downtown hotel - we paid about $150 USD (including valet parking that was $30 extra) per night.- friendly, smiley and helpful staff that are very nice and polite.- clean rooms with excellent maid service.- free high-speed internet.- HBO and a decent selection of cable ( yeah yeah who watches TV on vacation - this guy - sometimes... becase it beats the heck out of socializing with other guests in the lobby)- desk to work on in the room.- nice boutique feel to the whole hotel. <hl> What's wrong with the Carlton?- it's nearly impossible to say anything bad about the place because of the really friendly, smiley and helpful staff that are very nice and polite .... <hl> but I'm a bit of a jerk - so here are the cons anyway:- the rooms are very small (however, what the heck do you expect for the price in a major city, in a downtown hotel?).- you need a car or lots of cab or busfare money because despite being downtown there is nothing to see or do within a ten minute walk.- the bathroom in our room was a little beat up (still clean though) and the soap, shampoo and conditioner were in a dispenser mounted to the wall (like you'd find in a health club shower). This was a real inconvenience since my wife always takes the complimentary bath products from hotels. I found it quite difficult to pry the dispenser thing off the wall to take home. The front desk was again very helpful though and provided me with a flathead screwdriver to get the job done. - no gym - you have to pay 15 bucks to use a gym in the area. Having to pay 15 bucks and leave the hotel to find the gym was enough to convince me that I didn't really feel like working out. What's the deal with the guests chilling in the lobby?- For some unknown reason guests seemed to be always hanging out in the lobby... eating pizzas, sitting in front of the fireplace, drinking beverages, talking to each other, and reading the coffee table books.- I guess this is one of those things that makes the hotel feel super "boutiquey"?- MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE:- the rooms are really small; or because they serve wine at 5:30 p.m. for free in the lobby and people mull around til midnight; or because the staff are very friendly helpful, polite and super nice.- OR : - travellers on a tight budget?- thought it was weird but then again I'm not into bonding with other hotel guests. Overall - a solid place to stay in San Francisco - all my complaints are pretty superficial - I'd go back and stay at the friendly Carlton. It is what it is and for the price I think it would be difficult to find a better hotel.

Question: Is the hotel staff hospitable?

Very charming hotel with artsy interior, located in the perfect part of town for sightseeing. The staff was extremely helpful and responsive. The room was lovely -- only problem was a wall air conditioner that didn't work very well in that the "low" setting was a full-on cold air blast. The room was stuffy and warm or getting blasted with cold air, so that wasn't so great. Otherwise, comfy bed and loads of amenities. Definitely eat at the hotel's cafe -- delicious high-end fare at incredibly reasonable prices. Loved our stay -- we will come back again... in the winter!

Question: How is the parking?

Stayed 3 nights at this motel. Huge room with very comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. Very clean. Owners couldn't have been more helpful with info on where to go and not to go. Breakfast included with lots of fruit as well as pastries, orange juice, chocolate and coffee. Safe parking too. Central location made it easy to visit all the sites but it was quiet at night. Would definitely recommend and go back.

Question: How can the hotel upgrade?

I stayed at the St Francis for business for six nights.The location is excellent and the accommodation was very comfortable especially the so called 'heavenly' bed. I requested an upgraded room (as an SPG member) in the Tower building. This was in a quiet location and well away from the traffic noise in Union Square.

Question: How was the suite where your daughter stayed?

At the end of a five week study tour/holiday through the US, this was my last stop and I'm so glad it was - what a lovely way to end my tour. The staff were warm, friendly and very knowledgable, and happy to help in any way. The room was gorgeous with a lovely view and all the amenities I could think of - and a fantastic bathroom. The complimentary breakfast was just delightful and only added to the amazing value for money. A real home away from home, the Hotel Drisco would entice me to return to San Francisco if only for the opportunity to stay there again! I found the location slightly inconvenient at times - it's a bit of a walk to shops, restaurants and transport, when it's raining at night and you're on your own, but it's a small price to pay to be in such a magnificent neighbourhood.I also found the internet access was great - very fast and included in the room charge, unlike many other more expensive places I stayed.

Question: How is the dinner?

In town for a wedding and weary from a day of missed flights from the east coast, our first contact at the Huntington was the professional and friendly doorman and bell staff. Throughout our week there, they were, without exception, friendly, helpful and down to earth, calling us by name all week. I found myself tipping well and often. The hotel was built in 1926 by C.P Huntington, one of the "Big 4" railroad tycoons along with Hopkins, Stanford and Crocker. Having spent some of my career at Mr. Huntington's shipyard in Virginia, the choice was a natural for me. I was not disappointed. The hotel is historic, but updated in most respects. Smaller than the other Nob Hill hotels, the lobby is intimate and dining choices are limited to the "Big Four" Restaurant, highly rated by Zagat. Our dinner there was both very good and expensive...a "special occasion" venue unless on expense account. We also followed the doorman's recommendation of the Nob Hill Cafe, a quick 2 block (horizontal!) walk. Excellent choice with good food and reasonable prices. We booked one of the standard rooms through Expedia for $121 per night...a bargain by any standard. The King bed was comfortable and the room was immaculate. The bathroom looked newly renovated with wall to wall mirrors and a window that could be opened to let in the bay breezes. A caffeine addict, I was annoyed that there was no in-room coffee maker. Free coffee is available in the lobby only from 5-7 am...ok for the businessman, but not if you're on vacation. If you miss the deadline, it's $3 for an 8 oz paper cup in the restaurant. Internet access is $9.95 a day, ending at 1 pm. No free WiFi as I have become accustomed to. Another minor annoyance is the lack of ice machines. You have to call the bellman and have it delivered.. The minibar was empty, but I don't use those anyway...it was handy for storing leftovers. Another unexpected bonus...the Huntington has an agreement with Hertz rental car...your paperwork can be completed by the concierge and faxed to Hertz. And for an additional $20, you car will be waiting at the front door of the hotel and when returning, just hand the key to the doorman and walk in. Just make your reservation ahead of time to ensure there's a car available. Conveniently located on the cable car line ($5 per person), we found it more convenient to take a cab everywhere...$8 to Fisherman's Wharf and $10 to the Museum. The cabs are safe and the drivers the friendliest I have found. All in all, we were very pleased with our stay and left feeling like friends rather than customers...everyone was so helpful from the front desk to the doorman to the housekeeper. Even as we were leaving at 3:30 am to catch our flight back home!

Question: Is the hotel near the main attraction sites in the area?

Found the hotel through tripadvisor.com. Based on what I read we decided to give it a chance. We weren't sure what to expect, but we were pleased with the experience. The hotel was clean and the staff were really friendly. The price was very reasonable and it was very close to the attractions we were interested in such as fishermans wharf and the Golden Gate bridge. We would definetly return. There aren't alot of amneties which is what we expected how, but we didn't go to San Francisco to see a hotel. We recommend for the budget minded traveller.

Question: How is the quality of the service?

I would avoid this place for now. Very disturbing the hotel does not want to help the police with its investigation.My weekend stay there was ok.

Question: How is decor?

I knew when I booked our three-night stay that we wouldn't be staying in a luxury hotel. That's not what we wanted anyway. What we found was a friendly desk staff, a bright, clean room, fun decor and a pool our two boys (9 and 7) absolutely loved. A few things weren't entirely perfect--one of the bedspreads in our two-double-bed room had a small hole in it and, like one of the other reviewers, we wondered about the extra supports holding up the top two floors (I meant to ask but never got around to it). The aging elevator also gave us a taste of what an earthquake might be like each time it came to a stop and made carrying a breakfast tray back to our third-floor room a bit of a challenge. On the other hand, the kids thought it was great. Other than those little glitches, however, we were quite pleased with everything--the palm trees and hammocks were fun, the breakfast, although not huge, was fresh and tasty and the location was close to restaurants and a Muni stop. Also, the wifi is now free (there used to be a charge) and we asked for (and got) a small refrigerator in our room, also at no charge.As others have said, if you're looking for posh accommodations, this isn't your place. But if you're looking for a family-friendly place that has a sense of style and fun, this is definitely it.

Question: How do you like breakfast buffet?

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. The staff was so accommodating and friendly, no matter how small the request. The beds were HEAVEN, and the linens divine. The breakfast buffet served downstairs in the morning was very good too. And we never heard anything from any other rooms near us. Very quiet once you're in your room. And make sure to check out the roof top area. It offers a great view of the city and is a romantic place to hang out with a bottle of wine.The location was great - very central to all the 'tourist sites'. The entrance to China Town is literally around the corner where there are a few really good Chinese food restaurants to eat. Yum.There also was a GREAT bar across the street called "The Irish Bank Bar" on Mark Lane. The music was great and the drinks were killer. So if you're looking for a relaxed place to have a drink or two, you have to check that place out.

Question: What's the hotel like?

Thanks to Jesse the Mgr for making our 12 yr post-honeymoon/pre-anniversary trip to SF the best getaway we've ever had! The hotel was in the perfect location, reasonably priced, and everything fell into place. We were pleasantly surprised at how close we were to the pier (Bus#47 was our 2nd home), in fact we traveled down there twice a day with a bus transfer. Yes, we did the whole trip w/o a Rental! From the Airport we took the BART and Bus!! So yes, the transportation was safe, and we even ventured out past the hotel (on Polk). As a result, we experienced the charm of SF. We ate at the Victor's Pizza (who will deliver to your room) and Chai-Yo (excellent dessert). We searched on yelp.com and locked in the hotel's address, and read the reviews of those in the neighborhood. We can kick ourselves for not trying the Greek restaurant, down on Polk St., but we'll definitely be back!!We planned our whole trip on transit511.org from our room (yes via the internet access). I can go on and on, but I wanted to share our wonderful experience and thank everyone for their wonderful reviews in helping us to find the HI gateway, because we'll be returning REALLY SOON!! Thanks Jesse and the HI Staff! Oh yah! Tell the cleaning crew that next time we won't lock ourselves in the room so long that they can't come in and clean it! HEE HEE!

Answer: The hotel was in the perfect location

Dec 26-30, 2008, 2 roomsVery quiet and clean climate control system,Very comfortable beds,Spacious and/but cozy rooms with partial but nice view of bay bridge,Two Windows at corner can be opened fully,Kind staff members and good service,Convienent location in a quiet street in front of Embarcadero - easy acess to ferry buiding, union square, etc..,Very reasonable price - I would have stayed at 1.5 times the price I paid (~GBP60).

Question: How is the food?

My daughter and I stayed at the San Francisco Westin on Market Street for two nights on July 24, 25, 2007. We totally enjoyed our stay. The room was immaculate and the 2 queen beds were sooo comfortable. We happen to get a pretty good rate because by the time we got there the rates jumped sky high. The view of the city was outstanding. Having never been to San Francisco before, we found ourselves in an excellent location within walking distance. The restaurant inside the hotel was excellent though very pricey as most things are in SF. We ordered room service and it was out of this world expensive (for a small pizza and two waters and one dessert it came to a whopping $59.00!). We walked and walked around the city. The conciere (sp?) was very helpful in where to go to eat and ordered us a car when we left on the 26th. We were going to try the mall's food court which was very nice but the power kept going out so we ended up at a small restaurant named John's - stay away from that one - overpriced and gross food. Then we went to an excellent place a day later named Two which was outstanding food. Do not visit SF if you are on a tight budget.

Question: Is there a good bar located next to the hotel?

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 attention offered by the staff?

We spent 7 nights in this hotel in mid March. We were first given a room at the front but my husband, who is a light sleeper, found it too noisy. We requested a change and this was done swiftly to the room opposite which was much quieter. The rooms are large and maybe a little dated but very clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were very helpful and informative. When we returned back late one night too tired to find a place to eat Noah gave us some takewaway menus and we had pizza delivered within 20 minutes. This is unheard of in UK hotels who frown on people having anything in their rooms that wasn't bought on the premises!Location is excellent , cable car 1 block and bus stop outside. Buy a MUNI pass, we got our monies worth on a 7 day pass in the first two days.Out of the hotel and turn left you are 5 minutes from Fishernans Wharf, turn right and Columbius Avenue is full of resteraunts. Directly opposite is an Irish bar and Curry house combined!We didn't have a car this trip but next time we would definately take advantage of the free parking if we did. Last vistit to San Francisco we stayed at an upmarket hotel in Union square but found that location and friendlyness of staff were better at this hidden gem

Question: How about the quality of the experience?

Overall, the W hotel was a wonderful experience. The bedrooms were clean and decorated beautifully, the beds feel like you are sleeping on air, and the bathrooms were luxurious and stocked with great bath products. One bartender was outright rude, but everyone else (especially housekeeping and the concierge) was extremely nice and helpful. We got excellent recommendations on restaurants.Parking is outrageous ($46.50 per day) but we parked our car ourselves in the same garage the valets use (on Minna, one minute walk from the hotel) and paid $20 per day. It was definitely worth the expense to have our car to explore the city.I am in my late 20's but was there for a quiet vacation with my boyfriend. We enjoyed being away from the bustle of Union Square, and the walk helped with the great restaurants we tried out. The hotel is geared towards a younger crowd but we saw many older patrons who seemed to be enjoying themselves.I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone venturing to San Francisco.

Question: Why is your bathroom large?

We booked this hotel directly on their website and had reserved an executive room on their business floor. We were impressed with the deal we were able to get and were looking forward to staying here at the end of our relaxing holiday.Firstly, the location was fantastic. The hotel is conveniently located close to trams and bars. For the raging shopaholic, this place provides easy access to shopping in any direction you walk from this hotel. The location also allows it to have fantastic views of the city, with bay views on one side and Union Square on the other. Our room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. The wardrobe was also sufficient with enough room for all our shopping. The bathroom is also equally roomy, with great amenities. Our room had fabulous views overlooking Union Square and also provided great views of the sunrise each morning. Since we booked an executive room, we had access to the business lounge for breakfast and early evening hors d'oeuvres. The lounge had great views of the bay, if you got in early enough to grab the seats. My only issue is that the lounge is not big enough for the number of people who have access to it. We were fortunate to get seats whenever we needed it, but there were a few people who were made to stand around waiting for a seat. The hors d'oeuvres in the evening were also great. You would also find substantial meals being supplied as well, such as pasta. So you would end up having a late dinner. Service in the lounge was the friendly and courteous. This was very well appreciated.Overall, this hotel is a class act. Great views, great rooms and wonderful staff.

Question: How is the staff?

We stayed at the Hotel Rex for four nights in early November. The check in staff were extremely helpful and friendly and we found all staff were the same high calibre. We had a deluxe double double room and found it plenty big enough even with our cases laid out on the floor. The beds were very comfy and the shower wonderful. I would've liked to have had a coffee maker in the room but complimentary tea and coffee was available in the bar area in the morning. Also, missed a complimentary breakfast. Cafe Andree, next door, served breakfast but it is quite pricy in comparison to local restarants. The complimentary wine of an evening was great though!The hotel was in a great location, a block or so from Union Square and with a cable car station in the adjoining street. The hotel staff are great for recommending tours and restaurants. We'd recommend Lori's diner for breakfast and great coffee and Puccini and Pinetti for dinner.Overall, we'd recommend the Hotel Rex for a stay in this wonderful city.

Question: How could you classificated the quality of the hotel?

We stayed at the Hyatt Fisherman's Warf during our San Francisco sightseeing trip. The location of the hotel was perfect, just around the corner of the warf. The hotel had an outstanding service when we arrived with our car and the check-in went more than smoothly. We needed some help with the booking for our Alcatraz tickets and we asked the concierge for some help. He took immediately care of it. Don't use the concierge service for dinner suggestions because they have really no idea! The rooms have a nice bathroom and they are clean! The size was perfect. We also visit there StayFit Fitness Center. It was a poor room without any daylight and a low ceiling. Breakfast buffet was simple but with a good quality. On our 3rd day 2 busses with teenagers arrived in the hotel. We couldn't believe that this was possible in such a hotel. On our last night they started (it was past midnight) to scream from window to window and running from room to room. I have called the reception and they received already a lot of complains. During check-out they apologized again and they deduct 1 night from the bill. Overall a nice hotel but we expect more for US$ 249.- ex taxes per night.
