Question: How is it the stay?

Stayed over President's Day weekend as a birthday surprise for my girlfriend. It was enjoyable and memorable.The hotel is in a wonderful location at the top of Nob Hill. We had upgraded to an upper floor room with city view, which cannot be beat. The valet service and the check-in were friendly and efficient, with our package details clearly spelled out. However, there was a snafu with the bags and I ended up having to go back downstairs to get them myself. The room was nicely appointed and clean. The room size was fairly small, not surprising for an older hotel but adequate for 2 people. Elevators were a bit slow, but acceptable considering the property is 80 years old.The Top of the Mark was great for late evening drinks (no kids allowed, drinks average $10 and proper dress is expected) with wonderful nighttime views of the city. Breakfast was outstanding, a high quality buffet with panaromic views stretching from downtown to Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. There is a cable car stop outside which can get you around, otherwise you are looking at a VERY steep walk to get down to Union Square and a real killer to walk back up Powell to California Street. Checkout was a bit slow, but all charges were clearly explained, unlike some earlier posters who seemed to have problems. Maybe it helps to be an InterContinental member. The car was waiting outside with no delay.Overall, if you like a place with history and class, this is a great place to stay. The package value I received was outstanding, for $219 a great room, parking ($50) and breakfast for two ($52 value) included. Classic architecture, romantic history and a fabulous view of a wonderful city make for a memorable stay.

Question: How is the service in the hotel?

We stayed at the Hotel Drisco in mid-November for 5 nights. This was our first trip to San Francisco and the staff was extremely helpful with maps and directions. We stayed in a 3rd floor suite which was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The decor of the hotel was charming - old fashioned and elegant but with all the modern necessities. It felt like we were staying in a friend's home instead of in a hotel. To my knowledge there is no air conditioning however it's likely not needed there most of the year. We simply opened the windows when needed to let in the wonderful bay breeze (the weather was in the mid to upper 70's, quite unusual we were told for that time of year - and much appreciated!!). We reserved the hotel's town car one weekday morning to go to Union Square along with another guest which was a fantastic service. The breakfast buffet was delicious (hard-boiled eggs, oatmeal, bagels, breads, croissants, fruit, meat and cheeses) and our coffee was refilled at our table each morning. We also loved the 24/7 coffee, tea and water available near the lobby , especially after a long day of sightseeing! We were able to order food delivered from "Waiters on Wheels" which was very convenient when we wanted to relax in our room (though our choice was an unfortunate one -Gino's Pizza was the worst I've ever had). We would probably have been much happier ordering any of the panini offered by the hotel. The Hotel Drisco is in a beautiful neighborhood (Pacific Heights) and we enjoyed walking around to see the gorgeous mansions and views of the bay. We used the nearby bus stop - only 2 or 3 blocks away - since we had purchased MUNI Passports though I recommend taking taxis to save time or walking if your destination isn't too far . (We walked to Union Street one day with no problem, then on to the Marina district and took a taxi back.) We had a rental car a couple days and parking was challenging one night but we were able to find a space only a block away. The second night we went to the same street and there were plenty of spaces available so it was really just a matter of knowing where to go. Check-out was friendly and efficient. The staff was always very helpful and courteous and we would definitely return to lovely Hotel Drisco! We absolutely loved it!

Question: How is the hotel staff?

The hotel itself is beautiful with lovely grounds and fixtures. Old style but very warm and inviting.

We left with the light still not working.Service to the rooms and in reception was good.Its totally mind blowing.

Question: How would you rate this hotel in the rank of decency?

This hotel is located just off Union Square and is a perfect base to discover San Francisco. Our room was on the 6th floor and it was absolutely fine. Two double beds, plenty of space, a safe, proper closet, tv, etc, etc. The room was clean and we had no problems whatsoever on that front. The staff were all very friendly.There is a restaurant joined to the hotel, which we didn't eat at so I can't tell you about that. We had breakfast at an Irish pub called Lefty O'Doul's just two doors down from the hotel which was convenient. You can also have evening meals and drinks there. We had a couple of drinks at the bar round the corner, where there is live music every evening.I would definitely recommend this to people looking for a good, clean and budget-friendly place to stay in the heart of San Francisco.

Question: How is the room service?

I stayed at the Mark Hopkins Hotel for 7 days last July and I had a wonderful time. The service was excellent, room service was great and the food was so good. My Mom always say "You get what you pay for." That's exactly what you'll get at Mark Hopkins. You pay a higher price for an excellent hotel stay. You will not be disappointed. In fact, I have made another reservation to stay at this hotel while I am in San Francisco for business. I don't think I can ever stay elsewhere. I highly recommend this hotel.

Question: Where can I locate the hotel staff?

I am a meetings planner who travels frequently professionally and personally, and this hotel knocked my socks off. I can honestly say that it is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at in the world-- the attention to detail was amazing. The rooms were really, really clean and super quiet. The bed was delicious; the staff warm and professional, and the lighting and ambience calming (except for in the bathroom, where I am pleased to say that the lighting was great for make-up application!). All guests are invited to enjoy a complimentary glass of wine nightly, and the location of the property is perfectly situated so that we were able to walk to/from BART, the cable cars, great shopping, the North End, Chinatown...The other hotel guests appeared to be mostly European so apparently the word is out overseas about this place!My favorite touch of all was the smell of the hotel. After one day, we just had to ask the staff what smelled so good, and they told us that the hotel had hired an aromatherapist to come in and give the hotel its fragrance! Warm and light at the same time, my husband and I agreed that we needed to buy the fragrance for our own home immediately.I highly recommend this property and would go back any time, with great pleasure!!

Question: Where is the staff?

I frequently stay at this hotel, and always enjoy my stays. This time was no exception. Kathleen at the Front Desk provided excellent service, including very good tips on some good day trips (I go to San Francisco a lot, but this time simply wanted to have someone else give me some advice). I would recommend this hotel to anyone interested in a calm getaway place at a reasonable price, and excellent location - easy walking distance to most places, and near major bus routes for when the feet get a little sore!

Question: Is it a company with great security?

This place is a great place to stay if you want a location where you have access to all the sights and sounds of San Francisco. Three blocks from Chinatown, Two blocks from the Famous Cable Cars and Four blocks from BART and a heafty walk to Pac-Bell SBC (AT&T) Ballpark. My girlfriend and I took our three grown children for the Chinese New Year's Celebration weekend, and were able to walk back after all the festivities without having to fight the massive crowds. The next day, we hopped on the cable car to ride down to Fishermans Wharf for sour dough bread, clam chowder, chocolate and to see the Sea Lions at Pier 39. Then we took the other line back up to Chinatown for "dim sum" and walked down to catch BART to go under the trans-Bay tunnel. This place is a private, members only establishment during the business week because its in the heart of the business/financial district. But on the weekends its open to those who know about it. Rooms are neat and clean but a little small for a family trip (that's why we needed two rooms), but the location is worth the cramped space (esp. if all you need is a place to sleep.) Parking is $28.50 per day in the Embarcadero Center underground garage, but the security is really good there.

Question: Does free and particularly tasty cookie?

We were here for our honeymoon and were so pleasantly surprised. It started with our welcome gift of champagne, glasses and a wooden picture frame. The location is safe and seriously right by the cable car stop. The hotel is also close to great restaurants like Sears (breakfast) and Uncle Vito's (Lunch/Dinner). The hotel is respectful of privacy. We left the "Do Not Disturb" sign out while we were gone for the day to skip the room cleaning. We came back to a polite note under our door saying that they acknowledged our sign but would be happy to bring us fresh towels if we would like. The only thing that we would warn against is that if you are elderly or disabled getting into the tub may be difficult. The tub is set much higher than most. The complimentary coffee, tea and cookies were a nice addition to our stay. You can't beat the price for the location of this hotel. We will recommend and stay here again.

Question: How is it the staff?

Expected more from this luxury hotel. Maybe because we booked a special rate through Expedia, we didn't seem to be treated as Starwood Gold members (which I am). Room had no tub, no coffee maker, no turn down service, no wine glasses...things you might expect in a luxury Starwood hotel. Beds was older and too soft and the pillows were too small and there were not enough of them. Beds were doubles, not queens. Service was neutral. Concierge were too busy with virtually no time to provide appropriate level of care and service (not their fault). Only one on shift at any one time. Hot Tub was closed for one of the days. While a beautiful property and a good location, it did not live up to my expectations.

Question: Is the bathroom well sized?

Stayed at this Kimpton property for the first time this week after great experiences at other Kimpton hotels (the Hotel Monaco in Portland, OR for example). The location is excellent, right off Union Square, on the Powell Street cable car line. However, the rooms are very small. The bathroom was tiny, and in disrepair - I noted loose tiles, heavily chipped wood moldings around the door, etc. The water pressure was minimal in the shower. The room was quiet, but there was no coffee/hot water maker, no newspaper (at checkout when I commented, the clerk indicated that the guests grabbed the ones in the lobby in the morning, and when they ran out that was it. Wifi in the rooms is free if you sign up for the Kimpton In Touch program.

The bathroom was tiny, and in disrepair - I noted loose tiles, heavily chipped wood moldings around the door, etc. The water pressure was minimal in the shower. The room was quiet, but there was no coffee/hot water maker, no newspaper (at checkout when I commented, the clerk indicated that the guests grabbed the ones in the lobby in the morning, and when they ran out that was it. Wifi in the rooms is free if you sign up for the Kimpton In Touch program.

Question: Is it close to chinatown?

Just returned from 9 days in California, spent about 3 nights at the Grant based on the reviews I read. It was pretty much as I expected. quite clean, though the rugs in the rooms could stand to be replaced, the room, while bare bones, was comfy and worked for a few days, (can't beat the price of 88.00 per night) all the peple at the front desk very nice. Most of the people were young, one lady, who I asume is the 'crabby' lady, wasn't very crabby at all. There were 2 computers in the lobby for internet access, occasionally, people would monopolize the computers. The hotel was a little nicer inside than out. There were complimentary doughnuts and muffins and coffee, and green tea, and for a small charge a few other beverages. The location was great, just down the street from the famed cablecars, close to Union square and close to chinatown, Very hilly, the walking can be tough.

Question: How attent was the staff?

We just got back from our trip! This was a great location! Right in Union Square, this was our first time to San Fran and we were quite impressed with the closeness to all amenities. The room had a kind of a stuffy smell but we opened the windows and it was fine. We had two queens and the room had a wall that kinda blocked the second bed so that was good when one of us wanted to read and the other wanted to go to bed, you didn't get too bothered. The beds were supercomfy! The staff were great. Lefty O Douls next door was yummy, we had supper and breakfast there a couple times-they serve starbucks coffee....not quite as good as Tim Hortons but it'll due :) jj This was a great location and hotel for the value.

Question: How is hotel?

My husband attended a conference in San Francisco and I tagged along to see the great city of San Francisco. The Ritz Carlton is a beautiful hotel! The lobby is gorgeous and the hallways are decorated with artwork from local artists that depict famous landmarks and scenes. After flying into San Fran from NYC it was late and all of the restaurants were closed luckily there is 24 hour room service! It is expensive. My husband and I ordered: (salty) chicken fingers and fries, cheeseburger/fries along with two sodas and it came to $60. I later read the fine print on the receipt and there is a $4 delivery charge so I think there is no need to tip? I did anyway. I also ordered room service the next day for breakfast which was a 3 egg omelet (cheese, spinach) along w/toast and a coffee that came to $40. After the first day no more room service, though I must say the breakfast was superb. The room was spacious and the sheets were phenomenal (400 thread count, make it hard to get out of bed). The Ritz also has different pillows to accommodate you (fluffy, soft, hard). The room had a 32' flat screen television with a wide selection of movies to order from. Wireless internet service is available. The room was also equipped with a Bose system that allowed you to plug in your ipod. Bulgari also provides all of your toiletries. I loved the turn down service! I would come back to my room exhausted and have chocolates on my bed, a copy of the latest headlines from the New York Times, and the local jazz station playing. It was so relaxing and thoughtful. The location is perfect and a 2 minute walking distance to Chinatown, Union Square (tons of shopping), bus stops, trolley stops,and Grace Cathedral.The entire staff was very knowledgeable. I needed walking directions to the murals on balmy avenue and there was a line at the concierge (also extremely helpful) so one of the bellhops just asked how can I help you? How awesome is that? He gave me directions and I was on my way. I wish I had gotten his name because he was very helpful. The cleaning staff was awesome, I think my cleaning ladies name was Yalitza? she was phenomenal.The only problem I had with my room (#360) was that it is what I would consider the bottom floor. In order to access the room you have to take the elevator one floor down to the 3rd floor (which I think is the conference room floor), then walk down some stairs to access my room. It was directly across from the kitchen? and above the beautiful courtyard. Besides the steps which is not recommended for disabled visitors, it was loud on the last 2 days of my stay. There might have been a wedding or some function that lasted what seemed like 3 in the morning. I also think hotel guests would go there to have a smoke or drink with friends which equals loud noise. To be honest I expect to have a great room at the Ritz especially for someone who pays $500 a night. I was a tad bit disappointed in the room. I am sure I could have switched rooms but it was late and I did not expect to hear noise two nights in a row. I have visited the Ritz Carlton in New Orleans and they are all beautiful hotels with attentive staff. All in all I enjoyed my stay at the Ritz Carlton and I would visit again.I hope this review helps someone. Happy Travels!*There is parking available at the Ritz but it costs $60 a day you can park for $40 a day around the corner at St. Mary's parking lot. You can also rent a car from the hotel if you need to.*

Question: How large is the bar?

For those thinking of staying here. it is a small lobby with a bar like atmosphere. The bar turns into the breakfast cafe. Resturant expensive and too gormet. My kids liked the cool interior, rooms small but decorated like urban outfitters. Would not recommend famliy or children. Christmas time, only winter arangements nothing that suggests Christmas. Close to Convention Center and museum 3 long blocks to the back side of Bloomindales. Better hotels and locations if you are interested in shopping. Westin St Francis, Parc 55, Marriott....

Question: Where can I stay a hotel where the accommodation is comfortable?

We stayed here over a weekend in May. I went out on a limb and booked a hotel out of our comfort zone (chain hotels). After reading the reviews I was confident our stay would be enjoyable. It was even better than I expected. The front desk staff did a super job recommeding restaurants to eat in. Plus the hotel has a book full of menus. The rooms were very comfortable. What we liked best was having the stocked fridge of free soft drinks and water everyday. It was great to be able take a couple of waters with us for the days adventures. The breakfast was super, it was neat to see the staff come up with a new dish everyday. What I thought was cool was that the dish was homemade and not just fom the freezer. On Cinco de Mayo we had a mexican style quiche. In the lobby they had a different cookie everyday in the cookie jar, and those could have easily just been frozen chocolate chop cookies. But each day we had a different kind of cookie (Russian tea balls, Lemon poppyseed, a shortbread of sorts, and a oatmeal chip). The location was great, except for the one hill on Powell street we had to walk up to reach the hotel from the BART. We only had one complaint, and usually we love this, but the water pressure in the shower was so strong it actually hurt. But I loved it, and would recommed this hotel to anyone who wants to enjoy a "different" hotel in SF.

Question: How good are the staff in this location?

I had a small problem with reservations with the joie de vivre hotel line, but we finally decided on hotel carlton due to the great rate we got on line. We got there about noon, 3 hours early for check in, but the staff was happy to accomodate us and got us our room. When we got to our room it was very quaint, but very small. The staff was MORE than happy to show us two other rooms until we found one big enough for our satisfaction and all at the same rate. Every question I had, every need, every issue was all handled professionaly, friendly and with sincerity. They actually appeared to care and went out of their way to make their guests feel welcome. I would STRONGLY recommend this hotel and will definitely be staying there the next time I visit San Francisco.

Question: Is it an excellent stay?

My partner and I reserved a room for a four-night stay at another San Fran hotel. However, the reviews for the other hotel on TripAdvisor were not very good, so (at the last minute!) we canceled our other reservation and took an available room at the Whitcomb. This property is a total gem and a wonderful find! Personally, I LOVE historic hotels and this is grand, old San Francisco. Our room was very elegantly decorated, very clean and the bed very, very comfortable. The maid service was also great. The concierge, in addition, was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! The front desk staff seemed a little frustrated at their computer system, but they were very good to us. When I return to San Fran in a couple of months on business I will surely stay there again. **I will say, though, that the only reason I'm giving my review 4 stars and not 5 stars has to do with the porter. We dealt with two porters: an extremely kind and helpful gentleman from east Africa and a snotty, 20-something white kid. My partner is from Latin America and has a slight Spanish accent. He is, however, Ivy League educated and speaks perfect English. The 20-something porter was so insultingly patronizing to my partner that I became rather upset. All in all, though, it was a wonderful stay and a great property.

Question: How has the concierge service been?

From April 8-April 12th, my fiance and I traveled to San Francisco. We stayed in the Pan Pacific hotel located near Union Square. It is absolutely perfect and we will never stay anywhere else when we visit San Francisco again. It is a bit pricey, but it is totally worth it. The concierge and valet are very friendly and will do anything for you. We lost our cell phone the first day there and they called all the airport shuttles and the airport to track the phone. Eventually our phone was returned from a cab driver and delivered to a valet at the hotel, who held on to it until we returned from dinner. Out of 21 floors, we stayed on the 20th floor. The room was large, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the bathroom was amazing! In the beautiful bathroom were robes, a small television, big mirrors, a telephone, a large tub and a separate shower. We also had our own personal butler simply by pressing a button. Our butler brought us sugar and salt for our food, 10 extra hangers, extra towels, and even gave us bath beads/salts for our bath. The hotel staff members are experts on San Francisco. For every question we had, and we had a lot of them, the staff had a prompt reply. They supplied us with maps, directions, and recommendations. Even after they stopped a taxi for us, they wiped down the seats to make sure they were not wet since it had been raining a lot. Every time that we wanted to go eat the concierge recommended great places. The hotel's restaurant was great for breakfast also--even though it was a bit pricey, it was the BEST we had in San Francisco. One day we rented a car, which our hotel set up for us. The car was from Hertz, which is literally right across the street and was luxurious -a 2006 Toyota Avalon with everything. If I HAD to name two cons: flat screen tv could have had a better picture and we would have liked the hotel to have a pool (even though we had access to one with a fee).It was great, we didn't want to leave the hotel, and we loved our visit!THANKS to everyone at Pan Pacific for making our stay in San Francisco remarkable!

Even after they stopped a taxi for us, they wiped down the seats to make sure they were not wet since it had been raining a lot. Every time that we wanted to go eat the concierge recommended great places. The hotel's restaurant was great for breakfast also--even though it was a bit pricey, it was the BEST we had in San Francisco. One day we rented a car, which our hotel set up for us. The car was from Hertz, which is literally right across the street and was luxurious -a 2006 Toyota Avalon with everything. If I HAD to name two cons: flat screen tv could have had a better picture and we would have liked the hotel to have a pool (even though we had access to one with a fee).It was great, we didn't want to leave the hotel, and we loved our visit!THANKS to everyone at Pan Pacific for making our stay in San Francisco remarkable!

From April 8-April 12th, my fiance and I traveled to San Francisco. We stayed in the Pan Pacific hotel located near Union Square. It is absolutely <hl> perfect and we will never stay anywhere else <hl> when we visit San Francisco again. It is a bit pricey, but it is totally worth it. The concierge and valet are very friendly and will do anything for you. We lost our cell phone the first day there and they called all the airport shuttles and the airport to track the phone. Eventually our phone was returned from a cab driver and delivered to a valet at the hotel, who held on to it until we returned from dinner. Out of 21 floors, we stayed on the 20th floor. The room was large, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the bathroom was amazing! In the beautiful bathroom were robes, a small television, big mirrors, a telephone, a large tub and a separate shower. We also had our own personal butler simply by pressing a button.

Question: What is the shower like?

Wow! I was very impressed with this hotel. The rooms are absolutely beautiful. I appreciated the large shower, which is a nice change from most hotel showers. The bed was excellent. I'll stay here again.

Question: What are the conditions service?

We had planned an 8 day trip to explore SF and chose the Palomar largely due to the high rating on Trip Advisor. I had requested a high floor and a city view. We ended up with a fairfly high floor but no city view probably due to my travel agent (Liberty Travel) stinking. We had a non descript view but it was super quiet which ended up being fine since there was plenty of noise in the city when we went out. I have nothing to compare this to in SF so please keep that in mind. The room (deluxe king) was small but nicely arranged. Use their luggage rack as there is not enough drawer space but who really cares. The bathroom does have that sliding door but it ended being fine. The bed was super comfortable although the TV reception was lousy due to neaby construction. The concierges there are great. Super friendly and helpful. The whole staff really makes you feel like you are the only ones in the hotel (wait.. were we?). Actually there was a big Intel convention down the street so I think the hotel was fairly crowded.The hotel is a couple o' blocks below all the major shopping in Union Square which is fine. We are natural food eaters so we lucked out that there was a Whole Foods about a 10 minute walk South. No problem since too much room service gets expensive. They give you free use of Yoga equipment for use in your room or, as in our case, for use in the numerous SF yoga studios. Plenty of nearby great food and every recommendation we received from the concierges were spot on. If you want to catch a movie you will be one block from the largest Loews? multiplex ever created. A million screens. Housekeeping was quite excellent. I was worried when I read a less than stellar review just before we left but our experience was in line with our fairly high expectations. Clean, great service, great location.. Enjoy..

Question: Is the room service good of the hotel?

Orchard Garden is a very nice hotel, with rooms, services, and amenities that make it competitive with the best boutique hotels in San Francisco. On top of all that, it is a wonderfully "green" hotel -- with a serious committment to sustainability reflected in the design and operations. But you don't have to sacrifice comfort for that benefit -- helping the planet is just a nice "perk" for your stay

Question: How is the tv?

Stayed here for three nights in late March. Terrific location just steps from Market Street and easy access to all public transport (including the BART station literally round the corner - 30 minutes direct from SFO for $5.15).Second Kimpson Hotel in San Francisco (the other was the equally excellent Argonaut) I've stayed at and they're very impressive. The Palomar had it all - friendly greeting at the front desk, immaculate room (very well appointed including DVD player and large TV) with perfect housekeeping and a very comfy bed. Turn down service and chocolate too. Almost no noise from the street - all the rooms are on the fifth floor or above.Bit more pricey than your standard tourist hotel, but well worth those extra bucks for the extra quality.

Answer: very well appointed including DVD player and large TV

Question: Do you like the attention of the hotel staff?

We were traveling on a budget, and somehow managed to go during a "slow time" and got our room for $149 a night. We purchased groceries outside of San Fran (we came from Sonora) and brought them to the hotel. We got the key for the refrigerator and emptied out the hotel's pricey contents and put them in a box that the hotel provided so we could put our own food in the fridge instead. That way we were able to eat our breakfasts and lunches without having to pay restaurant prices! At the end of our 3-day stay we put everything from the hotel stock back into the refrigerator and locked it up and returned the key. Worked out great, and the hotel staff helped us keep on our budget without our feeling cheap!We parked our car at a garage just 3 blocks down from the hotel, so we were able to save a bit by not using the valet parking of the hotel. It saved us about $12 each day, which adds up!The people working at the Orchard were extremely helpful and friendly. The doormen were exceptionally nice and willing to help in whatever way they could. The front desk staff was great, too. We tried to tip the maids and doormen for their services and they seemed very appreciative, not like they just expected it. The king sized bed we had was SOOOOOOO comfortable. The comforter on top and the 100% Egyptian cotton sheets were wonderful after a long day of walking around S.F. We also enjoyed watching movies using the free DVDs from the front desk and the DVD player in the room.The Azur brand lotion, body wash, shampoo and conditioner made us feel pampered and smelled so good. We requested that the maid leave some extra and left her a tip, and we were delighted to have a few extra! The large bathroom allowed us to spread out and added to the luxurious atmosphere.The location is excellent. Close to China town, a cable car line, Union Square, etc. The Golden Gate bridge is a short drive away, too.One caution: My knees had serious problems with the incredibly steep streets, even with excellent walking shoes. Take the public transportation whenever possible, and save your legs for seeing the sights! The only downside was our view. We requested a high floor, which they granted. But our "view" was of the top of another building, and other buildings beyond. The location was quiet, however.We loved the Orchard Hotel and appreciated everything that the staff did to make our stay wonderful! Thanks!

Question: How much sink have the bathroom?

The Whitcomb is in a great location, right on Market Street with direct access to SF public transportation and only a few minutes' walk from the Union Square area. The public facilities (lobby, ballroom and meeting rooms) are nice and well-maintained. However, the guest room I was in was quite small, with just enough room for the two double beds and a desk and not much more, and the bathroom was almost an afterthought (the sink was almost on top of the toilet). Other rooms I was in throughout the weekend all appeared to be larger. There was also the occasional odd odor in the room, but this was not a large issue.The front desk staff occasionally appeared to be overwhelmed, with a line sometimes forming at all hours of the day. At check-in, I had to repeat myself two or three times because I was getting asked the same question.Overall, I would recommend the hotel if you get a good deal on it while staying in San Francisco. I'd suggest that if you get a really small room (like 572), ask for something bigger, because they definitely have rooms that are.

Question: What was the staff like?

On a recent business trip to San Francisco I stayed at the Hotel Rex. This is the 2nd time I have stayed here and I'd do it again. The hotel is located near Union Square which was convenient for my business trip. Located in the area are any number of good restaurants. The staff at the hotel were great. From the coffee at 5:30 to the Happy Hour drink the staff was always ready to help.My only caution would be to the not so sound sleepers reading this. My room was located on the street (4th floor) and the street noises could be an issue. Not for me, I sleeep like a rock. If you are a light sleeper you might want to request a room not on the street.
