I’ve never had such a difficult time with communication, a reservation or finding a resolution.
Pros:

The front desk staff has been kind and attentive but unfortunately but did not have the ability to resolve any issues.

Cons:

I booked through a 3rd party and had issues with the reservation. Requested a conversation with hotel management and they did not call or email me back after 3 requests. Booking.com also called and emailed and they did not respond. I had to initiate another request a few days later and be the intermediary between booking.com and the hotel. Requested a full refund and they would not honor. I am still in the process of finding a resolution over a week later. I would not recommend staying here.

Amazing in every way. Ease of valet, reception and concierge, quiet room and hallways, hospitality, location,
Pros:

Quiet rooms, great room layout, best coffee in the lobby. Loved the eclectic options such as bringing a plant to your room and the record player. Happy hour beverage hit the spot after a day of travel.

Cons:

The guy who got my suitcase out of luggage storage was lurking for a tip. Dude, you rolled my suitcases 3 feet.

Une halte à San Francisco au coeur des flux touristiques
Pros:

La chambre était vaste

Cons:

L’absence d'aménités dans la chambre (pas de cafetière ou de bouilloire) et le côté bruyant du quartier.

Ideal location. Lovely hotel.
Pros:

Ideal location. Lovely environment. The rooms were so quiet and comfortable. I appreciated the ambiance lighting options and the records and record player were a fun touch. Would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

The only damper on our experience was the bell hop gentleman during check in. I asked if he would take a luggage cart to my husband so he could unload the car while I checked in and he refused. He sat at his booth and watched me wheel it to the car. Then after we had freshened up and were heading to dinner he complained to us that we hadn’t brought the cart back to him. It really made us feel unwelcome. If we removed this person from our experience the stay and staff were ideal.

De wijn en bier die iedere dag werd aangeboden in de lobby, waren leuke momenten om andere hotelgasten te leren kennen. Zulke sociale events zijn een meerwaarde

Cons:

De valet parking is vrij duur

Très bien mais resto trop cher
Pros:

Les chambres sont propres et jolies, le lit est bon et la sdb confortable

Cons:

Les femmes de ménages qui entrent dans la chambre à 8.30 pour le House keeping . Le prix du restaurant : Les taxes additionnelles au petit déjeuner :
20% pour les employés, 10% de taxes supplémentaires (?) 5% pour la Health San Francisco et on demande encore un pourboire, bref de 124 on est passé à 168$ pour un petit déjeuner à 4

Exceptional service and location. Vehicles are kept secure and staff was welcoming.
Pros:

Extremely well kept, felt safe and staff was welcoming.

Cons:

Not sure why they do not keep their self service coffee available longer than 9:00 am. It should be available until closer to checkout time of 11:00 am.
