Fantastic Service!!
Pros:

I had the most wonderful time at this beautiful hotel. From my check-in with Kaira, to a wonderful concierge person named Javier. I was there to celebrate my birthday. Ms. Kaira made my check-in very pleasant. I was visiting from San Diego, arriving almost at 1 a.m. The people at the Herb Kitchen were simply amazing. Also, my bartender, Mr. Craig or Greg (if not mistaken), was fantastic. He definitely knew how to make my drinks. And last to the man for concierge in the pm shift on Thursday afternoon. Thank you for recommending me to John Grills was a fantastic place to finish celebrating my birthday. I was very pleased with the service and would definitely be coming back. I highly recommend this location. Very close to everything to do, like taking the city tour and the Fisherman's Wharf.

Thank you for the great experience :)

Broken elevators- use at your own risk
Pros:

TL;DR elevators got stuck for 42 minutes plus heard it got stuck again a couple to days later.

I’m writing to follow up on a safety incident during my recent stay at the Hilton in San Francisco.
On 1/21, I was trapped in a hotel elevator for approximately 42 minutes along with multiple other guests. The elevator became uncomfortably warm, and the San Francisco Fire Department assisted in getting us out. While I understand that mechanical issues can happen, the experience was distressing, and the hotel declined any service recovery when I raised it on site or any goodwill.

What prompted me to write this out now is that I’ve since learned the same elevator became stuck again a couple of days later, involving another group of guests. Given the short timeframe between incidents, I’m concerned this may indicate an unresolved safety or maintenance issue.

Tried reaching out personally through chat because no email is provided and I was left waiting for someone to get back to me for 40+ minutes and eventually gave up
