Pros:

Breakfast was OK although the slices of bread were rather thick for my liking; the coffee cups and dishes were rather small so would have preferred a larger size for my drink and space to put more than one item of food upon. One big problem - there were no napkins of any sort available; very odd for the UC not to provide them for a meal.

Cons:

As above: no napkins.

Decepcionante estadía en San Francisco
Pros:

La ubicación, en el sector alto de la calle
Fácil llegada.

Cons:

Instalaciones demasiado antiguas. El enchufe con cable alargador.
No tenía calefacción, ni ropa de cama extra, por tanto, tuve frío.
El desayuno, básico y más aún servido sin reponer ni el agua.
Relación precio-calidad, negativa.
Personal del hotel, deficiente.
Todas las noches, se oye un ruido metálico muy fuerte en la calle, que nos despertaba constantemente.

Not coming back
Pros:

The location was great and considering how old and dated the hotel was it was clean thankfully.

Cons:

The hotel is OLD and DATED. The staff were barely polite at best and not helpful. No A/C in the room to shut out any noise for light sleepers like me. At $200 a night way overpriced.

Fantastic University Club Accommodation
Pros:

The Club is well situated in San Francisco to get anywhere that you might need to travel. The Club is located on a high point of the city and gets a majestic view across the Bay and City area. The rooms are large, very large by comparison with other hotels. The decor is of a period nature and that adds to the charm of the Club. Staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel has luggage storage for pre and post study stay. Located on an intersection it has easy access to two different trolley car systems, a must travel when you visit San Francisco. A continental style breakfast is provided with your accommodation and this is both plenty and pleasant. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit. The history of the building and those who have visited, stayed, supported and guided, is extremely interesting and uplifting to anyone involved with higher education, like us.

Cons:

There is no ramp to the front door, but that didn’t bother us, however might be challenging for those that can’t lift their luggage or have mobility requirements.

Old school charm
Pros:

Great location and very cool hotel!

Cons:

The room we stayed in was very noisy from inside as we constantly heard people or staff walking or moving stuff. We stayed in room 12. Do not stay in room 12. Staff were willing to move us to another room but it was our decision to stay as we were already in it.

Very good
Cons:

When we arrived there was a posted announcement that a wedding was taking place the night we were staying with you. So we were prepared for some noise but that which went on was a bit excessive.
