Over priced.
Pros:

The hotel was stylish.

Cons:

The hotel is in an area where you don’t feel safe walking out the front door. To the point where we decided not to spend the night and leave.

I used the Valet parking lot, vastly too expensive.

For the price I expected a room bigger than a shoe box.

No heating on the bathroom.

Terrible pillows.

My room smelled like dead fish, would’ve been better off sleeping on the street.
Pros:

Really smelled bad, awful facilities, and overpriced for what you get (bed bugs)

Cons:

The smell, it’s awful. I’m not sure what is happening around or within the property but it smelled like a dead animal in my room. Asked to change rooms and they wouldn’t accommodate. Wild experience.

Hotel dal design interessante ma penalizzato dalla zona
Pros:

L'hotel ha un design molto originale e interessante. Le camere sono ben arredate e le aree comuni sono creative e curate.

Cons:

La zona vicino al Tenderloin non è sicura. Non ci siamo sentiti tranquilli a camminare fuori, soprattutto la sera. Meglio prendere sempre il taxi.

Downtown grit meets arty comfort.
Pros:

Loved the interiors. Great friendly helpful service. Comfy bed. Top notch toiletries.

Cons:

Location was a bit sketchy at night which meant with teenagers we couldn’t really let them go for a wander. On the other hand it was close to the mission area which has the best food and we also found so many other local places to eat. Some really cool street wear shops too. Our kids actually preferred the location to Fisherman’s wharf as they found it more authentic and interesting!! I think a 2-3 day stay there is sufficient.

If you are going to the theater it’s a perfect location
Pros:

Close to what our plans were

Cons:

It is pricey, the south side of the hotel is ok when using the valet. The north side on market street unfortunately has a lot of homeless, not a place I felt comfortable walking with my wife

My top two stay in all of San Francisco
Pros:

The Kelly Wreastler design as always is impeccable and beautiful and tasteful all around in lobby, the rooms and restaurants. You can’t find a better rooftop view than Proper in SF and on weekends it’s always a cool crowd. The beds are so comfortable the shower just perfect and most of all the staff are so helpful. I had a meeting 5 minutes after I arrived and they helped me with an early check in to get to my room.

Cons:

The location is not great but that’s just SF. You have to uber in and out. Don’t walk around.

Bad
Pros:

The room was safe and comfortable

Cons:

The valet lost my keys for 45 minutes. Threw off the whole day, missed reservations, and two mental breakdowns later we got our keys and just went home. Terrible experience.
