Wonderful Stay and Exceptional Manager
Pros:

I wanted to share that I had a wonderful 3 night stay at W Hotels San Francisco for the APA conference. The hotel was clean, stylish, and ideally located. The most noteworthy part was the outstanding job done by manager Estela Sunga, who went above and beyond in terms of being supportive and accommodating. There was a booking related error (not fault of W), and she was able to more than rectify the situation, and followed up to ensure that my experience was excellent. Estela Sunga is an inspiration and a great asset to W Hotels. Like Michael Jordan, she escalates the level of excellence to her entire team!

Cons:

Food MEGA EXPENSIVE $69.00 for waffles, chicken and OJ. Wagyu beef burger was spoiled- disgarded. That was $49.00.
Order UBEREATS when in SF.

Great Hotel
Pros:

Great room with a great view. Lupe the hotel manager and William at the Bar made our stay extra special. We were there to celebrate our 17th year wedding anniversary and had nothing but great service. I just wish I had realized my stay included SF MOMA tickets so I could have planned accordingly and possibly visited. Oh well just another excuse to come again.

fine hotel
Pros:

I stayed at the W Hotel Yerba Buena for a week while working at Moscone West. I found the hotel to be clean, quiet, and comfortable, conveniently located near everything I needed during my stay. I particularly enjoyed having a Nespresso machine in my room as the coffee maker, and I even supplemented the provided pods with some from the nearby Whole Foods, which is a nice advantage over the proprietary coffee makers found in most hotels.

However, the lighting in the room could have been improved. It seemed designed more to enhance the atmosphere than to provide adequate lighting for tasks, but that wasn't a deal-breaker for me. Additionally, the fridge and drawers near the desk were occupied by the honor bar, leaving no space to unpack my suitcase or store my own food and drinks.

Overall, it's a nice place, and I would stay again, but I do wish they had prioritized functionality over aesthetics.

W Hotel'de ilk konaklamamızdı. Otele giriş yaptıktan sonra odamıza çıktık. Odada sadece kıyafet asmak için bir gardı
Pros:

Sadece şehir içinde olması avantajdı.

Cons:

Tesiste bir çok aksaklıklar yaşadık.
