Recent guest reviews

We were visiting from Santa Cruz area for 1 night. This hotel was close to shopping a short walk to the cable car. It had a great workout facility and indoor pool which my son loved. The buffet breakfast was really good with a lot of healthy options. The staff from check in to food were great! Would definitely stay again. Oh yea and we had an amazing view of the city.

Too expensive how can one pays 35$ for a breakfasts

was great. would stay again. nice location aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I have stayed at this hotel several times over the last 5 years. Hotel is modern, consistently clean, and the staff is friendly. Hotel has a nice bar and is very easy to get from the freeway to if driving into SF in comparison to many other SF hotels. Drawback is the neighborhood around the hotel. No problem if you are attending events at the Moscone center or are using Lyft or Uber to get to places. But neighborhood south of the hotel is sketchy and not an area you want to be walking around. But if not walking around the area, great hotel.

GYM EQUIPMENT OLD AND DIRTY NO BOTTLE WATER. ROOM SOLD AS 2 QUEEN BEDS AND BEDS WERE FULL OR TWIN SIZE. TOOK TIL AFTER 4 PM TO GET ROOM KEYS. CONCIERGE WAS EXTREMELY RUDE.

Great location, clean, great views, friendly staff, was able to check i early and get a late check out.

1st room the closet could not be opened. Seems the closets were likely an afterthought. Room large enough probably could have used an armoire instead. Beds very comfortable, but really seems the carpets are pretty dirty and should be cleaned better. You could tell from wearing socks or even the slippers. And, there seemed to be a dirty smell from them and it made the room less appealing. Other than carpets rooms are nice and spacious. Loved the location as just far enough from subway and cable car, shopping and plenty of restaurants in the area too. Restaurant very expensive and breakfast buffet not worth the price. I didn't bother to try lunch or dinner due to that. room service pretty good, but pizza that I expected to be gourmet at the price was not. The crust was a pre-made kind of thing.

We loved it there! Very quiet and relaxing and at the same time an easy walk to Union Square.

We had a great experience at the Intercontinental. It was our first time traveling with our baby and the staff could not have been more fantastic. The person checking us in took time to acknowledge our baby, which he loved & ate up all of the attention. Upon checking out, we were told that there were no extra charges & were able to quickly be on our way.

Great staff. Great bed. Great amenities. I would absolutely stay here again for business or pleasure.

Good location. Good staff. Love the bed and it's very cozy.

Hotel was nice and clean, staff was friendly. Mattress hadn't been changed/flipped in a long while, there were wonderful valleys on each side of the bed where everyone seems to sleep. Other than that it was good.

great hotel very friendly staff excellent location very close to market street. Will definitely stay here again.

Expensive but you get what you pay for.... I would stay here again. Great views of the bay.

The hotel was nice, staff was very friendly, bed was a little hard. It's close to Union Square.

I've been wanting to stay at this hotel ever since I moved to San Francisco almost 10 years ago and I was a little underwhelmed. The rooms are just okay and nothing special considering this is a 4.5 star hotel.

The room was awesome but the air vents and headboard was dusty. No big deal but bad allergies made for a sneezy night. Room service served the BEST cheeseburger. The burger arrived piping hot and cooked to order. Yummo

View was beautiful , location was very convenient , just one day stay that I feel ok with it, room was not that luxury that I was expect for and paid for.

Stayed for a short visit and everything was great. Staff did a great job.
