  • Overall: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "The service was excellent, the staff exceedingly helpful and friendly, the room spacious and clean and the overall experience superb." source Travelocity

    "Recommend taking a taxi or cable car up Powell to get to the hotel - unless one is avid at cardio." source Travelocity

    "What a great experience." source Expedia

    "I would recommend it." source Expedia

    "Would definitely stay there again if the price is anywhere near what we paid." source Travelocity

  • Clean: Rating of 4.8 out of 5

    "Oh, and check your final bill: the only really annoying thing that happened is the trigger-happy cleaning staff who reported that we were drinking our $9 bottles of Evian water when in fact we only moved them from in front of the TV to the desk." source Hotels.com

    "The cleaning staff was so loud while working both yelling and slamming doors, I actually had to ask them to quiet down during my baby's nap." source Travelocity

    "The building is marvelous, clean and well situated to access many areas of the city on foot." source Travelocity

    "Room clean, comfortable bed, TV not working, valet parking service excellent." source Travelocity

    "The room was clean and well-equipped with flat screen tv, bar, etc." source Travelocity

  • Service: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "However, the room service staff wheeled the cart onto the balcony for a sunny last day breakfast." source Hotels.com

    "Service was very good." source Hotels.com

    "The service is unbelievable, and even though it's cheaper, I think the old part of the hotel is the best because they've done an excellent job of keeping its original excellence." source Travelocity

    "One must go downstairs to their coffee cafe that goes out to the street, or use room service which is 24 hr a day." source Travelocity

    "We used room service dly and it was frequently there within minutes in spite of the hotel being very busy." source Travelocity

  • Location: Rating of 4.9 out of 5

    "The hotel was perfectly located." source Orbitz

    "Great location and a very classy hotel." source Hotels.com

    "Its location on Nob Hill is ideal -- we considered a hotel in Union square but were so glad we chose the Fiarmont instead. It is elegant yet not stuffy, and the neighborhood is very quiet at night, unlike the very very tourist-y Union square." source Travelocity

    "ItÂ’s walking distance from chinatown and union square. I actually walked downtown from the hotel." source Expedia

    "Upon turning down the bed saw what appeared to be blood or ketchup across the top edge of the sheet, then found an area about the size of a fist that had an unidentifiable mess on it on the corner of the sheet." source Travelocity

  • Value: Rating of 4.4 out of 5

    "We had a beautiful balcony suite with a spectacular view of the city, at a beautiful historic hotel for an Orbitz sale price." source Orbitz

    "Got a great deal at * per night plus taxes for an inside room queen room. Asked for an upgrade to a king bed and got it at no extra cost." source Travelocity

    "I probably wouldn't have chosen this hotel due to the price if I were just looking online, but after staying here, I understand why." source Travelocity

    "The room I received turned out to be a great value as I was given a single night stay upgrade to a tower room on the 12th floor." source Travelocity

    "Among the many hotels we stayed in SF, this isn't one of the best, considering the price we paid for it." source Travelocity
