I gave it a good rating as it is clean and affordable. They offer a wine and cheese reception in the afternoon and a continental breakfast in the am. The lobby is beautiful. Valet parking is reasonable- for SF ($45) with in and out privileges. The rooms are clean (but dated), and the beds and pillows comfy. We had a kitchen unit with stove -frig-micro wave- kerig coffee & kitchen table separated from the room. The TV was a challenge as it came with no directions and then I noticed there was no phone to call the front desk-although phone instructions were on the desk.?? Found a wall phone in the bathroom later- but heard a dial tone dialed 0 to get the front desk and nothing happens. Used my cell to call the front desk only to find out she was the only one there and could not help. She suggested trying a few different channels to get the cable working. Channel 26 was the first one to give us a clear picture, you could not use the up & down arrows to go to another channel, had to enter each channel manually & there was no guide to let you know what channels were available. The rooms have no thermostats, but the temperature tolerable. The windows in the kitchen & the room actually open so we were able to get some fresh air as well. If you have never tried a bidet- this is your chance - bathroom had a nice size jetted tub &shower, double sinks, toilet & a bidet. There is a small market across the street and if you want a good Italian dinner I recommend Fino one block away.

Very old and not in great shape. Shower wouldn't turn off fully, no microwave, fridge didn't work. The Asian lady who works evening reception is not in the right mind any longer: very slow and frail, but also very bad attitude. Checking in took 20 minutes because she did everything so slowly and rechecked everything 3 times, including doing unnecessary things like counting price for each night by hand (3 times) when I already told her the total looks fine and exactly what I booked. The following night my key card stopped working, so I had to ask to reauthorise it. Took so long again with her and she couldn't hear my room number properly but when she finally heard it she tried to blame it on me saying that's what she said and that I didn't hear her say it because some people come in with headphones or something.

Really surprised by this hotel, really lovely historic lobby, same with the hallways, chandeliers and nice pictures. The room are a good size; the bed was comfortable with a nice duvet and pillows. Bathroom nice, historic bathroom cabinet. Everything was very clean. Wine and cheese in the evening and you can sit in the lobby and enjoy. Generous continental breakfast, yogurt, croissants, muffin. Staff were very nice. You can tell by this review, the hotel was a great value and will definitely go back, you should too!

I had a great stay at the Beresford. The hotel had gone down hill until the new ownership -it's back to the good Beresford. The missing gem is the White Horse that made the hotel even that much more special. Staff was great and the room was clean. I will stay again for my next SF visit - mine was business related and they did a great job at valet with my rental.
