We are repeat visitors to this property because of cleanliness, comfort, beauty, and safety. The staff is welcoming and accommodating. This visit was because of a loved one’s funeral. I had some of the best sleep I’d had in a long time— something that can be difficult during periods of intense grief. The view of the Embarcadero is beautiful and comforting. This remains our preferred hotel for stays in the Bay Area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was large, clean, mostly comfortable and well appointed with good amenities. Especially loved the lighted make-up mirror. Bathroom tiles and sink had cracks, there was some kind of liquid stain on the bathroom wall, shower was tepid and no hot water in the sink, the mattress was hard and uncomfortable but the pillows were great. The property is clean and well maintained and the view of the estuary is beautiful. We arrived at 3:15 and was told our room would be ready in half an hour and they would text me. At 4:00, I went back to the front desk and was told it would be another 40 minutes. We were given our keys at 4:30 for a 3:00 guaranteed check-in. The front desk agents were kind and apologetic and offered what was in their scope to try and recover the situation, but it was beyond redeemable. I was traveling with my 89-year old mother who needed to rest and prepare for a family event at 5:00. We missed that event. I travel a lot and this is the absolute worst check-in I have experienced. When we first arrived, there were about half a dozen guests all waiting for their rooms. As they each got their rooms and other arriving guests got their’s, it was extremely frustrating to sit in the lobby for an hour and a half. The appalling check-in set the tone for this review, which might seem harsh since everything else was fine, but I am still mad about it.

I have a lot to say about the Evening auditor. Never have I ever felt so disrespected and outright lied to about Company Policy to not give a guest Eating utensil to enjoy his meal in his room. First I was told " we don't have any forks" When I called her on it mentioning I ate breakfast with one! Then to next lie is giving guest a fork was against company policy. Lie after lie to keep from walking 20ft to the room off the dining hall where the utensils are kept. I will be contacting Your Corporate Office. I use Best Western and Bonvoy 200 times a year. I love that particular Hotel. But If I am going to be treated like a bum because I asked for a fork to enjoy a meal I bought from th Executive Suite Bar no less!!
