The hotel is rated as a 4-star property on multiple platforms — including Capital One Travel (Hopper) and TripAdvisor — so we expected a certain level of quality and comfort. We were in town for a wedding at the Fairmont that began at 4:30 pm, so we checked in right at 4:00 pm, rushing to get our luggage to the room. Check-in was quick and efficient, but we were immediately told that two of the elevators were broken and the wait would be long. The front desk suggested we use the service elevator, which didn’t set the best tone for our stay though we appreciated the option since we were pressed for time. Out of curiosity, I later looked at reviews on Facebook and noticed that someone had mentioned the elevators were also broken on August 31st — meaning they had apparently been nonfunctional for nearly two months by October 25th or this is a recurring issue, neither acceptable. By checkout time the following day at 12 noon on October 26th, they were still not repaired. After returning to the hotel around 1:30 am following the wedding, we noticed several shortcomings (as shown in the attached photos) that were far below what one would expect from a 4-star hotel. The room itself was small — understandable for San Francisco — but the real issue was the lack of cleanliness, poor maintenance, and overall condition of the room. We had booked a Premier Interior Room with two queen beds, which the hotel’s website describes as “Retreat and recharge. These interior-facing rooms overlook our quiet courtyard.” In reality, what we saw from our window was anything but a quiet courtyard — and the room fell short of nearly every expectation we had for a property of this caliber. I reached out to the General Manager the next day, requesting a return call to discuss our experience, but as of this writing, no one has responded. In summary: this stay did not reflect a 4-star experience in any way. The ongoing elevator issues, lack of attention to maintenance, and poor follow-up from management speak volumes about the hotel’s current standards. I strongly recommend that any potential guest carefully review the photos attached to this post before booking — they tell the story far better than words can.Show More

The location is absolutely fantastic — close to plenty of top attractions and excellent transport links. My room was spacious, spotless and very comfortable, with a large TV and a great bed. It was also exceptionally quiet. Breakfast was very good, with a nice selection of well-cooked items and the whole hotel is kept super clean. A few constructive points: the check-in process felt a little rushed and confusing, with various charges and deposits to navigate. Although the hotel offers complimentary tea, coffee (in the mornings), and water, I wasn’t told about this until several days into my stay. The lift situation — as many others have noted — is an issue and I often had to use the service elevator. That said, meeting the staff ‘behind the scenes’ who also use this elevator, was a highlight; they were incredibly professional and welcoming. The bathroom could also benefit from some modernisation, particularly the shower. Overall, this is a lovely clean hotel in an unbeatable location. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.Show More

The staff were extremely friendly — always smiling, greeting us, and genuinely asking how we were doing and if we needed any help. It was truly pleasant to interact with them. The hotel’s location is perfect. Everything is close by: Chinatown, the Pier, the sea lions, and even the Alcatraz tours. It’s a very convenient spot for exploring the city, and we really appreciated that. We were given exactly the room I wanted. It was spacious, clean, and comfortable — much better than the previous room we stayed in. Plenty of space and a very nice atmosphere overall. Overall, it’s a great hotel with excellent service and an amazing location. We were very satisfied with our stay.Show More

There are 2 desks set up and no one in the (very) long line could figure out where to stand. Completely haphazard and without adequate staff. At any point in time there was either 1 elevator working out of three or none at all, so that you had to use the service elevator located by the kitchen. Really? The carpets are hideous and the bathroom very inadequate- no shower caps, no body lotion, and a shower faucet over a bath tub. The toilet was located next to the tub and the sinks in a larger space without makeup mirror but with enough room to use an ironing board- seems like a poor allocation of space to me. The room furnishings are minimal and without much style- unless you consider a plastic clock like you buy at Target a stunning addition to a wall. Overall, completely disappointing and over priced.Show More
