Beautiful experience!
Pros:

Absolutely stunning hotel - I felt like I was the star in a movie the whole time! I really appreciated the attention to detail, both in the decorations but especially with the staff. We ate at Charmaine's and enjoyed food both out on the rooftop with amazing views, and then moved inside to the bar. Service was very friendly and the food was delicious. The location is good for getting around San Francisco - it is an urban area but the hotel experience is totally worth it.

Cozy and chic!
Pros:

Loved our stay at the San Francisco Proper Hotel! We came into the city for a girls’ trip over spring break (teachers off duty!) and it was the perfect spot. The staff were so friendly and welcoming—Brady especially went out of his way to make sure everything felt thoughtful and taken care of, which really made our stay stand out.

The rooftop bar was such a highlight—great energy, beautiful views, and the food was fantastic. We especially enjoyed the oysters and sliders.

The whole place has that effortlessly cool, cozy feel that makes you want to linger a little longer. Looking forward to staying there again!

Quality
Pros:

Location is a bit sketchy, but its San Francisco - the entire city is kinda sketchy. The property itself was very nice. The staff is super attentive. The interiors are super nice. The food was very good. Everything about the hotel itself was great. I would definitely come back in the future...

Most beautiful hotel in the country?
Pros:

This is one of the most beautiful hotels in the country by a long shot. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The rooms are stunning and the restaurants are amazing. Make sure you get dropped off at the correct spot or valet and you'll have a wonderful experience.

Great location to buy crack and step in human feces.
Pros:

I came to town to buy crack and fentanyl, and this hotel was perfectly situated. I was also attempting to contract some infectious diseases and share some needles.

JK. I know this neighborhood is not the hotel's fault, but Marriott cannot be charging rates like this for a hotel on the sketchiest block in the US. The rooms, interior, and staff were all excellent, but because we couldn't leave the hotel safely after dark and the restaurant/room service is limited at night, our evening was spent eating delivery and watching the junkies from the 7th floor. I normally check TripAdvisor before booking, but didn't bother on this one, my bad. I hope I make it to the Uber safely after checkout tomorrow. If not, RIP me.

Good, but a couple sour points
Pros:

Great public spaces and restaurants inside hotel. Rough area of SF though, but can't blame hotel for that. Be prepared to call car or drive anywhere, didn't want to walk at night.

Good service, but room was not fully cleaned upon arrival. Housekeeping only available upon request, but we weren't told that at check in.

Great food options, probably fastest in room dining delivery I've ever had (20-25 min from tone order was placed). Rooftop bar is great.

Nice hotel in a sketchy neighborhood
Pros:

Good hotel with great staff. It's a property that has a lot of character. The door staff, counter staff and room staff are all great. I didn't eat in the restaurants so I can't comment on those amenities. The only negative I have regarding the property is the surrounding areas have a heavy population of homeless people at all times of the day. While there were none on the actual property, they were everywhere around the block which made walking to nearby restaurants concerning. The homeless people were also very vocal at night. It was common to be woken up by the sound of homeless people loudly yelling on Market street. The hotel is a nice property but I won't likely stay here again due to the outside conditions.

Do not stay
Pros:

The hotel doormen are the best part of this experience. Upon check in tv's did not work, the sink stopper was broken so we could not drain water and no one came for 24 hours to fix these problems....on top of this this neighborhood is some of the worst in SF- you can not walk safely day or especially night. Open drug sales, prostitutes, drug users out of their minds- It is just not worth it. If you take a Waymo as the hotel suggests it will NOT drop you at the hotel but several blocks away in a similar section of town. There are no amenities at this hotel- the rooftop is nice but extremely pricey for what you get- additionally this is the darkest hotel I have ever stayed in- Hallways, elevators, rooms- and this was a king suite- dark everywhere- living area and bath- This hotel is just NOT worth a visit......

Expensive, awful area
Pros:

I stayed at this hotel for a business trip so I would not have picked it. The staff were friendly and attentive, the beds were super comfy and rooms well appointed. Room service was swift. The roof bar was really nice, good cocktails and wine list.

The tenderloin areas of San Francisco is tragic, don’t stay here. So many unwell homeless people. Have to get an uber to go anywhere.

The hotel was very expensive and had tiny rooms. Breakfast was not included. Dark decor in rooms and lights so dim you can’t see in the wardrobe. Sorry folks not coming back

Disappointing
Pros:

I was underwhelmed by this hotel and will not stay again. The common areas were dingy and tired, and the neighborhood felt unsafe when returning from dinner in the evening. The coffee in the lobby was excellent, but there was no coffee maker in the room. The staff's hospitality was inconsistent, with door staff standing by while I hauled my bags up the stairs unassisted. On the positive side, the bed was excellent, the room was clean and extremely quiet.

$700/night for a bunk bed
Pros:

The hotel is in a terrible location. It does not feel safe to walk around. If you booked a bunk bed, think twice. They are small and uncomfortable.

Fentanyl, Feces, and an early checkout...
Pros:

While the neighborhood is not the hotel's fault.. it is shocking to me that Marriott markets a "luxury" hotel that costs $600-$1000 a night in an area of San Francisco that is truly disturbing. At night, you cannot step foot outside of the hotel. It is like the walking dead - an open air drug market packed with hundreds of people openly shooting up, defecating on the street. It is a mix of zombie apocalypse, mental health crises, and bodily waste...that is still present on the street in the morning. Literally, watch out for multiple piles of human feces scattered throughout the sidewalk in the morning. I had booked for 2 nights and switched hotels because coming back at night was harrowing. During the day it was like a dystopian Black Mirror episode - mix of heavy homelessness, tons of people rolling off drugs from the night before, and tech bros at an AI conference. It is all so so sad. Save yourself some money and stay literally anywhere else in the city.

small, dark, dirty, unfunctional
Pros:

Terrible hotel. Rooms are small, dark, dirty, non-functional... no place to store clothes. The carpet in the entry was stained and dirty and set the tone. The restaurant staff was amazing was the only highlight.

A Favorite SF Theater Stay — Stylish, Quiet, and Perfectly Located
Pros:

This wasn’t our first stay at the San Francisco Proper Hotel — we’ve stayed here a couple of times now — and it continues to be one of our favorite spots when we come into the city for theater weekends.

The location is incredibly convenient for the theater and makes it easy to enjoy everything nearby, especially the great restaurants and energy around Hayes Valley. We love being able to walk to dinner, the show, and back without worrying about transportation.

The hotel itself has a chic, designer charm that feels uniquely San Francisco — stylish, comfortable, and thoughtfully done without feeling over the top. It always feels like a fun, special city getaway.

We had breakfast during this visit and it was delicious, with really excellent coffee, and my wife especially enjoyed her tea — a perfect way to start the morning.

One highlight is the rooftop bar, Lookout. We only went up to take a look this time, but it’s an amazing space with great views and looked like an awesome place to hang with friends and enjoy a cocktail.

We were on the sixth floor and the room was wonderfully quiet — no street noise at all — which made for a very restful sleep.

Overall, this remains a go-to hotel for us when we’re in the city for a show: beautiful design, great dining, a fun rooftop vibe, and an unbeatable location.

Charming, stylish hotel with friendly staff
Pros:

This is a lovely hotel. Very stylish rooms. Mine was a tad on the small side, but was thoughtfully designed to make efficient use of the space, with a large closet, fully stocked mini and snack bar, and a couch and marble-topped table in the room — along with a King bed.

Staff were professional and very friendly. I ordered room service for breakfast, which was delivered quickly, and I just want to say that I think that was the best overnight oats I’ve ever eaten.

I was visiting family in SF on this trip and arrived via BART at around 4:30 pm on a Sunday. I exited at the Civic Center station, and walked a block to the hotel. Nobody bothered me, and I didn’t feel unsafe.

Charming and Hip place to stay.
Pros:

A charming hotel. Friendly, welcoming staff. Very comfortable bed and sheets. Quiet. AC wouldn't stay on for more than an hour at a time and hotel was unable to repair this during our stay. The "repair" entailed disabling the GFI plug in the bathroom. Upon resetting the plug, the fan turned right back on and stay that way, unless I disabled to plug myself. Our room had a cracked inner window. The blackout shade mechanism jammed on our final night in the open position. The rooftop bar has a terrific view and was a pleasant place to hang out. I wouldn't care to walk around the neighborhood at night, but I knew that before I got there. An excellent location as far as getting anywhere else you want to go in the city from North Beach to the mission.
