Da Vinci

Central location is good, close to other areas and public transportation Would have given it a slightly better rating if the people in the room above us had not staged a sumo wrestling match in their room at 6:15 a.m.

The real Da Vinci name should not be used by this place.

Both main desk employees were excellent. After that the experience was not enjoyable. Room was OK, nice shower, no mirrors anywhere except bathroom sink. Irritating part is the dining. Horrible continental breakfast, unripe melon and stale bagels and no cereal or anything decent. $4 for 2 over easy eggs? Really? 2 days at this breakfast was enough. Room service was fairly fast but the guy taking the order needed to repeat 5th grade so he understood how to take an order. I had to repeat, salad, soup, milk, and water 5 times. Best part was I left a nice shirt there and when I called about it shortly after leaving housekeeping swore it was not there. Beds are decent. And cannot forget the Wednesday night party that they allowed. Sounded like John Belushi in Animal House, it was unbelievably disrespectful on a business night at 11pm. Will NEVER stay here again. Makes Motel 6 seem luxurious.

The hotel is nice, but quite old. The elevator was very slow. The rooms were OK. The bed was great! We didn't get a chance to try the pool, but it looked very clean and nice. The continental breakfast was very nice.

Horrible Noise Level at 747 exhaust level.

The walls in this 1970 motel were paper thin. I mean paper thin. You could hear people whispering outside. Even on the 4th floor you could hear people partying in the swimming pool area till 4 am. Only one elevator that is really slow and smells bad. The rooms do not have air conditioning and smell dank and moldy. We were warned by the staff the the rooms in the front of the hotel had a lot of street noise and they were not kidding. They moved us the second night but with the noise from adjacent rooms we still did not get much sleep. The breakfast is a total waste of time. The fruit was green and the breads were stale. No cereal, milk, or even yogurt. If you want breakfast you will have to pay.

Pleasant surprise for what we needed.

This place was such a pleasant surprise once my friends and I checked in. I have to admit that we were looking for a great deal that was comfy and close to the venue of the event we were attending. Not only did this place exceed our expectations, the view from our 5th floor room was absolutely stunning. Seeing a complete view of the entire golden gate bridge and the bay was priceless. What's more is this place has its own parking, even for a small fee. I will definitely be coming back to this place and would even recommend this place to future visitors of SF.

Tons of restaurants available with just a few blocks of walking. From a local dive bar to places that are a little more upscale, this area has anything a visitor needs

No big complaints

The hotel was basically nice. Very clean and comfortable for a hotel room. Ice machines and pop/soda machines should work on all floors. Staff was above average. For a big city the price was average. We would stay again.

What you see is not what you get.

The staff was wonderful. The breakfast left a lot to be desired. This is not a hotel this is a motel that has up graded the area's shown in the profile and that's it. The location was safe and within walking distance for most of the things we planned to do in town. The room was clean. The other areas such as the halls elevator and walk ways need a lot of inprovement. This establishment leaves a lot to be desired. I have not problem with motels just call a spade a spade in the profile.

A tad inconsiderate

I do not have much negative to say about the room, because the room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a bit odd as the shower was open (no doors or stall), so you could essentially shower while sitting on the toilet. Literally. I was even willing to forgive the constant loud hum and vibration from the ancient elevator close to our room, which rumbled most of the night as people used it. But what was unforgivable was construction work being performed 4 feet from the room starting at 10:30 PM. That's right, just as we were settling down for the night, in rolls the worker next door in the stairwell, blasting ranchero music and hammering and driving screws with a power drill! I had to call the front desk (he would respond to my yelling, whistling and pounding on the door to get him to stop. i called the front desk and they finally got him to stop. The next day when I was checking out, the excuse I got was that if they do it in the day, people complain that the stairwell is closed (there are several others mind you). In any case - really? It is better to pound away at night and not close a stairwell in the daytime? Sorry, but that just seems ludicrous. I understand they have to complete their renovations, but what every traveller needs most is a good night's rest - undisturbed.
