Very clean, renovated old hotel. Located on a busy street with the cable car so, can be a bit noisy but the location is super convenient, one block from Union Square. Highly recommend.

My room was on the front of the building. You could see the streetcars and hear them all day and night. I enjoyed it and had no issues sleeping, but I could see some having an issue, even with the window closed (I kept it open all week) that is what I would say would be the only potential drawback for some. Place was clean, access to a lot of shopping, food and experiences. Easy access to BART for trips to and from the airport. Had all amenities I needed, and staff was always friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Very friendly staff and well kept rooms and lobby. My only negative, that would be a smell on the floor that my room is located as I got off the elevator. I’m not sure if it was from people smoking or something else.

Great Staff at this fine hotel

I was in San Francisco for a one day medical meeting at the St. Francis. 1) I arrived three hours earlier than check-in time and welcomed the offer to check in early (I don't recall that ever happening at other hotels). 2) The room was a bit warm and stuffy upon opening the door and I wished I could have opened a window, but could not. I noticed the fan (ultra quiet), turned it on and in minutes I was completely comfortable, and reminded so throughout the night. The unconditioned air contributed greately to the incredibly restful sleep I had that night. 3) I worked at the desk until dinner and when I returned I thought I would catch the news on TV, but it would not turn on. I phoned the front desk and within minutes maintenance was at my door, got everything fixed and was gone. I didn't see the invitation to "test-sleep" up to two of the ten interesting pillows offered, but will do so on my next visit. I will recommend your charming hotel to my friends, staff, and colleagues. Thank you. Robert L Stofac, M.D.
