Da Vinci Villa

My stay at Da Vinci Villa was a pleasant surprise. The rooms were very comfortable and new with a nice pool and sauna. Location was great and parking was not an issue as with most SF hotels.

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 rooms were average and a little noisy, but the location was top notch!

I had a four- night stay for work, attending a conference in Fort Mason. The room was clean and accommodating. Location is easy walk to food/shops on Union or Chestnut as well as Ft Mason. I didn't get to take advantage of the pool, but the pool deck was beautiful and connected to wireless so was a great option for catching up on work. The lounge was also a good option for late-night work outside the room. Only complaint was that coffee wasn't readily available until about 7AM and I was on east coast time!

If you are in your 20's and artsy or a bargain seeking traveler, this slightly remodeled old motel might be right up your alley. As a middle-aged woman traveling on business, I would have checked out as soon as I arrived and found another hotel, but was too exhausted. I paid for a king bed and was given a tiny room with a double bed. Minimal effort has apparently been made to remodel in contemporary style (the bed was comfy and linens luxurious) but the room had a weird odor, the bathroom was the size of a broom closet with no counters, there was no full length mirror, and the only window was a sliding glass door onto the public balcony. There was no way to open the door for air a couple inches and lock it in that position for security, so I had to prop the luggage rack and a menu in so no one would enter my room at night. With all the young people staying there, it was thankfully quiet at night, and the location is great for a San Francisco hotel, accessible to all the sights and popular neighborhoods.
