Nice hotel. Small rooms.

Stayed 5 nights during June. Excellent location, 5 minute walk to union square. My first impression when i arrived was the hotel looked didn't look as fresh in person as it appeared in the web photos. Hotel room was an excellent size as was bathroom. Our room cleaner did an exceptional job each day. There was a well stocked mini bar with coffee making facilities.

Hotel Staff were very friendly.

We attempted to have breakfast in the hotel's own Cortez Restuarant one morning. We placed our order at 7.20am and at 7.50 am we were informed our original selection was not available and were asked if we would like to choose something different. We had to leave without breakfast as we were leaving on a tour at 8.00am. There are at least 5 very reasonably priced diners within a five minute walk from the hotel.

Would recommend taking the hotels own town car for the trip back to airport. Well priced at €45 for the trip. Our orginal taxi from airport to the hotel cost €40.

Great hotel for the price! The rooms are nice and clean and the bar/dining area is very nice and trendy. I came in town for a girls weekend away and this was a great choice. The concierge was very friendly and helpful. The BART(transport from the airport) is close to hotel and very easy to navigate as well as much cheaper than a cab ride.

The only thing negative I have to say really has nothing to do with the hotel itself. Around 3am every morning we could hear the clanking of bottles for about an hour each time as the bar directly across the street cleaned up. I would just recommend asking for a room not facing the main street. This would hopefully eliminate this problem.

This hotel has style and panache and the hotel restaurant with its Spanish Colonial style seems to be the hot property in San Francisco. All the glamorous people in the lobby at dinner, but you always feel as though you are the pampered guest here! Forgot my camera battery one day as I was renting a bike for the day and when I called the hotel, they offered to bring it to me. What personal service!

Please forget the Hilton and Marriott unless you are a conventioneer and the hotel has been selected for you. This hotel has all the style of the much pricier Clift across the street, and little more low key and understated elegance than the brash Monaco nearby.

The hotel restaurant's featured small plates were fantastic and the bartender was extremely helpful with selection of both food and cocktails as I was traveling solo.

Please try the Adagio. You will not be disappointed!
