Five-Star All the Way
Pros:

Fabulous five-star hotel in the middle of downtown San Francisco. We're Marriott platinum and were bumped up to a large, very comfortable room overlooking Market Street. Some noise at night but not disturbing. Joy on the housekeeping staff was particularly great. So was the bell staff.

They also comped us breakfast at the Garden Court, a wonderfully lavish, early 20th century restaurant. There was a buffet with a wide variety of pastries, smoked fish, cereals/yogurt, and lots of perfectly ripe fruit. Special shout out to Nikki on the wait staff, who was exceptionally helpful and interesting to talk with about the history of the hotel. Also, there's a real Maxfield Parrish mural over the bar. They don't make them like this anymore.

Easy walk from there to Union Square, Chinatown, and the Ferry Terminal. There's a Muni/BART station just outside, so altogether we found the location extremely convenient for seeing the sites. Recommend it wholeheartedly. It deserves its five stars.

Pros:

Excelente localização, as zonas comuns do hotel são históricas e lindas. O quarto estava bem decorado.

Cons:

A casa de banho do quarto é pequena.

Quando reservei, para três pessoas, mencionava que era com pequeno-almoço incluído. Aquando do primeiro pequeno-almoço alertaram que apenas incluía para duas pessoas e que teriam que cobrar, por um valor absurdo o pequeno-almoço da minha filha (10 anos). Insatisfeita, contactei de imediato a Booking.com, que não me respondeu. Apercebi-me no mesmo dia que essa informação consta em notas específicas aquando duma reserva. Isto nunca me tinha acontecido e parece-me que não faz sentido algum.

perfect for a quick getaway to explore san francisco!
Pros:

the room was small but comfortable for one adult and one child. the location was easily accessible by bart, uber, waymo, walking. breakfast (room service) was very good, but just one error was made on our order (daughter ordered chocolate chip pancakes and was served regular/plain).

Cons:

the hot tub was out of order on day one, and the indoor pool could have been a few degrees warmer for february and because hot tub/jacuzzi was out of service.

A fine hotel in an excellent location.
Pros:

The quality of the room and the service was excellent. I particularly appreciated the help from a concierge named Malia Hurtado. My only disappointment was that they do not have 24 room service.

Sad rooms but even sadder service
Pros:

Expected so much more from this hotel. Bathrooms are not functional. Air conditioning unit kept me awake throughout the night. Quality of the room was disappointing, however the most disappointing aspect of the hotel was my interaction with Ruben at the front office. When I asked if I could view a meeting room I was told that I could rent the room and then see it. I had planned to have a family reunion there but not now. Perhaps the meeting room is in a similar condition to the sleeping rooms and he was too ashamed to have me see the room or perhaps he was having a bad day.

Wonderful
Pros:

Great stay, love this hotel, the staff is wonderful, housekeeping is perfect, shout out to Doorman ,Jorge Treso, as I watched him handle an extremely self entitled guest parking his car. He calmly asked the guy to pull up and the guy exploded on him, Jorge calmly handled the situation.
