Pretty average for a luxury hotel
Pros:

I stayed here for one night. Our company held a series of board meetings and events over three days. The hotel was absolutely freezing the entire time. That being said, my room on the third floor was very stuffy and had a strange smell. So I was freezing during the meetings and in the various ballroom rooms and meeting rooms and very warm in my room, trying to sleep at night. The people who work at the hotel are extremely friendly and I think are trying to be helpful. But the hotel seems generally a bit dated. I would not choose to stay here if I were paying.

Muito bom
Pros:

Quarto confortável, equipe educada. Gostei de tudo.

Cons:

A questão da ladeira na hora de caminhar. O hotel fica numa parte íngreme. Mas SAN Francisco é inteira assim.

Incredible and memorable
Pros:

Wonderful customer service. Everyone was professional, welcoming and friendly. Without asking, they made my anniversary extra special by upgrading our room, sending prosecco and chocolates to us and 1PM late check out. I will absolutely stay here again. They live up to The Ritz name once again

Terrible stay! Tired property, even worse service.
Pros:

This a Ritz Carlton in name only. That is it!

The property needs a full refurbishment to include the old and tired wall paper, the musty smelling carpets, the scratchy sounding Tivoli radios (purchase proper Bose).

The Staff/Team, especially at the front desk and the concierge desk, are snobbish and are led to believe they work at some REAL 5 stars property. Nose up!
No matter how many notes one has in their Bonvoy profile, things do not get done. Multiple phone calls to the various forgetful "guest service" operators are also futile.
Housekeeping is a hit-and-miss. In room dining not stellar.
The corridors resemble a college dorm with cleaning carts all over the places forcing the guests to zig-zag to reach a room.
Raining...no problem, you must look for an umbrella, because the doormen do not offer them like in most upper class properties.

San Francisco lacks true 5 starts properties, one can hope the new upcoming Rosewood property changes the landscape.

Top Quality Team & Wonderful Stay
Pros:

Had a two-night stay at the hotel and from entry to exit the staff was incredibly accommodating. People at the resort need to be called out for the exemplary service they had.

First was Reception - Kiriah at reception gave us very early access into our room at 6:30am as we had been driving for over 10 hours and up for over 24 hours. She was fabulous. Teresa also in reception was fabulous in assisting confirming logistics with our vehicle and valet.

Second was Parallel 37 - Rei and Sui were simply phenomenal in their service, attention and how engaging they were. Rei brought us complementary juice and a fruit plate and enjoyed learning more about them and their families.

The room was cozy and the grounds are decorated in a classy and professionally fashion. A great stay and mostly due to the staff and their ability to connect with its patrons.
