We celebrated our child’s birthday here. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted so gracefully by Benedict. We got Signature King Suite : it is spacious but cozy, clean and complete amenities. Love it. Restaurant is nice. Kudos to Roy who gave our son a personalized birthday letter and a cider for me and my husband! We appreciate your thoughtful service. You went above and beyond ! Also to Jose who gave an excellent service too in assisting with our needs. All of the staffs especially valet drivers here were all nice and accommodating.  Parking is very safe. Location is just walkable to fisherman’s wharf. We had an amazing experience!

Cons:

1. The rooms are outdated with old ac and it was loud with outside traffic.
Bathroom sink was clogged and draining slow. Even upon request, no one came to fix it.

2. Room didn’t the have “do not disturb” sign so the housekeeping was knocking on the door so loudly in the morning when I needed to sleep in and rest.

3. we originally booked for 2 queens but they told us the rooms were sold out and gave us 1 king
which was so unprofessional.

4. We paid for valet and also confirmed if the vehicle is parked in the property underground with covered parking but found out that my vehicle was parked somewhere else with no covered parking.

5. When arrived, valet was full so we had to sit in the car for 20min to be helped.

6. The bell service was out of carts as well so had to wait again for bellman service both at check in and check out.. they need to investment more $$ to purchase few more carts.

7. And the is no convenient store on site either which was so inconvenient.

Pros:
None

To reach the front desk by phone took forever as well.

Not coming back or recommending this hotel to anyone else.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. They were in a good area and and good price. Highly recommend it. And this little guy was waiting on our bed when we arrived and had to bring him home.

Very frustrating experience. Arrive and there is no heat in the room and we were told the breakfast we ordered would be provided in the morning. The “heater” would not stop blowing cold air. I called several times the first night and even asked for a new room. I was told no and was given some very thin blankets. The next day we got breakfast and were charged in full because the front desk never gave us the coupon. We came back from exploring the city at 9pm and the room was 55 degrees because the “heater” was stuck on the cold setting. Finally they sent someone who could turn the stupid thing off but we literally shivered all night and they still refused to give us a new room. Next day “the acting manager” Mildred informed me she could only take a small percentage off the $900 dollar bill. Yup, you read that right, we paid a lot of money to freeze for two nights and be told “it was all they could do” and “I should be grateful for the discount “. Do not stay here, it was horrible. BTW the restaurant adds an 18 percent gratuity and the waitress got pretty snark when I did not add more.

I was supposed to stay here for 4 days and didn't make it for even 12 hours. I left early and paid 50% extra last minute for another hotel because it was that bad. The summary is that there is perpetual noise - particularly a grating buzzing noise in every room due to old bathroom fans that can't be turned off due to risk of mold (also not what you want to hear from a hotel). The noise was not only unpleasant, but made the room feel haunted. The staff was dismissive and unhelpful.

In more detail:
1) the bathroom fan is perpetually on, leading to a very bizarre and grating buzzing noise that isn't able to be turned off
2) when i asked the front desk about switching rooms (since at the time I had assumed it was an issue with just my room) -- stating that it was not only unpleasant but also particularly painful because it was making my tinnitus worse -- the manager at the front desk dismissed me. First, she told me that all the rooms were like that and that every SF hotel was like that - they all *needed* the fan on to prevent mold. When I insisted that the noise was a problem given my condition, she then told me she was going to ask an engineer to turn the fan off manually - when I pointed out that I didn't want to be in a room at risk of growing mold, she then said there was nothing that could be done. When I asked to end my stay since being in the room was intolerable, she kept arguing with me and insisted on charging me an additional $175.

If you want to stay somewhere peaceful, I wouldn't stay here.
