The Donatello is a favorite stay for us when we visit San Francisco … it is conveniently located. It’s an easy walk from the BART/Muni station. The rooms are spacious and clean. But the reason why we keep coming back and back is because of the outstanding staff. They are friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to accommodate and assist.
