Four Seasons Standard did not suprise us :) always perfect
Pros:

It is Four Seasons Hotel at the end:) The welcome was perfect, very helpful, very polite. We stayed only one night, the location was not perfect in my view in Business district which I couldn't realize when making my reservation, it all fit our expectations anyway so 9/10

Cons:

location was not top in my view

Would book again for annual business trio
Pros:

View was amazing, room was clean and functional - finishes are not luxurious but did the job for a business trip. Lobby restaurant food was great. Service from the staff was excellent.

Cons:

Gym is good but limited work put space for free weights exercises. Ok when not busy but tight when it is.
Table and chair in the room nit super comfortable to work.

A great hotel with a boutique feel and amazing views
Pros:

My husband and I had an amazing two-night stay at the Four Seasons Embarcadero in San Francisco. We booked one night through Amex Platinum and the second through Chase Luxury Travel, which both offered various benefits for doing so. When we arrived, Sequoia did a great job handling check-in—and informed us that we had been upgraded from a city view to a bay view room, one of the aforementioned benefits. Our room was beautiful and did indeed have incredible views of the skyline and bay, including Coit Tower, Alcatraz, and the Transamerica Pyramid. One morning, we had breakfast at Orafo, and the second morning, we ordered room service—both excellent (with breakfast credits included as benefits through Amex and Chase). I also used the gym—which was not huge, but clean and well-maintained.

Last December, we stayed at the Four Seasons on Market Street. How do the two properties compare? Both are great; my husband preferred the one on Market Street, while I preferred Embarcadero (which is on Sansome Street). The advantages of Market Street are a more central location and access to the Equinox Sports Club (which has a pool). The advantages of Embarcadero are a newer building (more recently renovated), more of a boutique feel, and nicer views. But really, you can’t go wrong—both are fabulous.

Thanks to the Four Seasons Embarcadero for the magnificent hospitality!

Poor quality hotel
Pros:

Bang average hotel. No pool. Don’t honor Amex platinum upgrade. Check in took 20 minutes. Small rooms. No couch in room. Not even a bar with a view. We booked this place for the view. The property wastes its location. This should not be a four seasons

Wonderful!
Pros:

Beautiful hotel. Kind and courteous staff. Cozy beds. Delicious food.

Cons:

The room we had ("King with bay view") was nice but seemed to be designed for one person. Instead of a love seat, there was only one chair. There was only one sink in the bathroom. And there weren't even two coffee cups the same size. It would be nicer if the room (or variation of the same room) was designed and equipped for a couple.

Basic level Four Seasons
Pros:

In my opinion the Four Seasons hotel chain needs to rebrand. They could start by changing to one season, two seasons, three seasons, and four seasons. The thing is, aside from the bed you do not know what you’re going to get anymore when you book a Four Seasons hotel. Some are extraordinary. Hong Kong. Paris. LA. NY was. Others pretty great. Chicago comes mind. Surf Side. Then so many others are nothing more than fancy Hilton’s. This is one of those. No real lobby to speak of. 1 restaurant. Basic rooms — no tech, no marble in the bath. It’s not bad. It’s just not what i expect when I think of Four Seasons. I recently had the same experience in Houston. Boston too. If the brand cannot manage to keep the quality of the properties consistent across its chain, rebranding as suggested above would certainly help manage expectations.
