There was a noise issue during my stay, which was only partially resolved, is the main reason for my lower rating. Great service from the front of house and restaurant team! Food was very good.
2.5
Great hotel really classic. Awesome location right in the city. Great help from staff re local eateries and travel and attractions.
Older hotel but clean and well looked after, rooms a bit smaller if you are used to more modern hotels but no issue for our family of 3.

Paid for high floor with city view. Was on 5th floor with a very limited view. When booking it said that was the total cost everything including but ended up having to pay an additional $40 resort fee at check out.
Hotel and staff were great, not sure if the issue is with it hotel or a misprint on hotels.com

I have stayed at the property over four decades on and off. The rooms have been remodeled and now are quite charming. The remodel brings the property to modern standards while retaining a quaintness that was comfortable.

Beautiful building! Polite staff. Awesome location. Cute room and decor, although very small. Heater worked and kept us warm. Comfy bed. Cool bar/lounge. Hotel Valet was awful. We rounded the city for 30 minutes trying to get into valet with no luck. Room did not have black out blinds so we were woken up as soon as the sun hit the window. Not to mention the drums that went off at 7am from protesters (not the hotels fault). Also our room was near the elevator and we could hear it all night and morning long. Sounded like a large cart going up and down the hall. Even with the cons I would return.

Good, the manager tried to rectify the situation by offering the two free drinks, however there was so much negative aspects about my stay. Both check in and check out girls were rude and cold. The check in girl was so cold and her hatred and racial prejudice was palpatable. While napping,a staff member opened my door and walked in. This was not house keeping. I felt very violated and unsafe. The next issues were out of their control. Fire alarm went off for twenty minutes the second night and there were protestors picketing for 1hour each night starting at 6am!!! As a solo black female traveler, I felt unwelcomed and ignored.

The staff were amazing and super helpful
2.5
Beautiful boutique hotel in a great location. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the room well appointed, amd the location perfect for easy transportation to enjoy the city. This was my 4th trip to SF this year and this was the best of 4 hotels.

Loved the room, which wasn’t as spacious as it looked/described on their website. Water pressure was slow. Staff/service was great.
2.0
Great stay, service from customer relations or front desk restaurant bar not good at night. Unaccomodating

The checkin experience was very bed - they gave room which is very bed and insisted they I should upgrade by paying additional $50 - even that was not having a proper view - hot water at shower was malfunctioning . For any matter I was asked to call Hotel.com - which also did not helped
2.5
I usually stay at Marriott across the street, and I was happy to book this historical hotel. The room was perfect for one person business travels, with comfortable bed, tasteful deco, thoughtful design. The service and atmosphere at the Post restaurant and bar were superb, and the food and drink impressive. I will stay here again.

The stay itself was OK they were drums going most of our time in the room from the protests. We’ve all later car paid $75 for valet just for the valet to steal a cell phone from the car, we had a location services turned on this phone and it kept going from the parking garage to the hotel. They were telling us they had no idea what we were talking about.. we walked down to the parking garage, and in that time it made its way back to the hotel and then somehow ended up in the car after we searched the car for over 45 mins . This made us feel so unsafe and like we could not trust this expensive vallet and ended up taking the car early cause we didn’t trust our things being in there
1.5
The reservation was for VIP. My 2 drink vouchers were not given at check-in. I had to ask for them. They were nice to drop them off to my room. The person that checked me in spoke very low I really had a hard time hearing him. It came with bottled water which is always a plus.
The bed was comfortable. Though several protesters at Marriot were loud. The room was not bad, the clock is broken. The restroom was beautiful. The room was average, the price was high. Location was great. Close to union square.
1.0
Good hotel, with excellent roof top bar and lobby bar. The stay was impacted by demonstrations from 7am to 10pm outside and despite being on the 9th floor, was incredibly noisy in our room. Rest was impossible given we had just completed an 11 hour flight. An impossible situation for the hotel and its guest's.
2.0
The restroom was not very clean. The shower stall still had hair in it!

Room was disappointingly run down -- including an exposed water pipe dripping into the shower.

The noise of the strike was unbearable.
2.5
Last minute booking and they were able to fit me in. Theyve done a grand job on refurbishing a beautiful old hotel, keeping all its grand finishes and character. This was a great stay for downtown SF
2.0
Stay was nice - the protestors across the street were a drag. I had to move to an interior room to get away from the noise. It's very loud. Liked the location, near Union Square; bathrooms are pretty tiny. Staff were all very hospitable and accommodating. The bar/restaurant was better than expected. A welcome surprise.
2.5
We loved the room, location, and hospitality of the staff. I utilized the gym and the facility was fantastic.
The starlight bar was very cool!
The check in and out process was seamless. We were also able to leave our bags after checkout as we weren’t quite ready to head to the airport.
2.0
Loved this hotel especially the bars. One bar on top floor and one in lobby — both had incredible drinks. Top floor bar had amazing views and drinks, but the service was lagging.
The shower leaked all over our bathroom because it had a very small glass “door”
2.5
Amazing stay! The staff, the rooms, the drinks everything was incredible!
1.5
Not the friendliest staff and not the cleanest.
2.5
Just spectacular. Amazing place, amazing stay. Little bit of a weird layout whereas you have to go down to get in the elevator if you have luggage because of the stairs. But that’s not a ding just an observation. This place is new since I lived in San Francisco at least the brand, I would stay there again 100%. Oh and the location? Forget about it, best in the city by far.
1.0
Advertised adjoining rooms, and I wrote at the time of booking asking that our rooms would be together and adjoined, they in writing confirmed. We had my daughters 16th birthday and intended for two rooms to adjoin so that their sleep over would be all together. When we got there the front desk said they have no adjoined rooms in the hotel. And very rudely said our rooms wouldn't all be on the same floor and that I had to prove I'd gotten confirmation because it was in no way possible on a busy weekend. After I went to pull out my proof of confirmation she told me to just go sit down and about 20 minutes later she changed our rooms to be together.
2.5
The staff was wonderful and the property was stunning.

Unexpected resort fees
1.5
Reasonable hotel for staying for a short visit for any quick event. Restaurant and bar is tightly organized on mezzanine but decent. If you’re traveling to walk around Union Square and shops it’s convenient. Overall older classic feeling hotel that’s dated but clean. Bathrooms in regular rooms are ok but quite small.
1.5
Room category ranges are extreme. Booked two rooms at the same time and under the same reservation. One was a shoe box and the other was large…..for the same price.
Water pressure was non existent and while showering the water just stopped.
Lounge on 21st floor was lovely and hostess and bartender were extremely nice.
1.0
It was very noisy. The noise wasn’t from the outside. It was some kind of motor sound. Hummed all night long. We couldn’t sleep, and gave me headache. I paid too much for a room not able to rest at all.
1.0
Very loud banging of garbage containers for 30 mins at 4:00 am every night.
1.5
We are frequent visitors to San Francisco, and decided on this occasion to try a different hotel than our regular one. Beacon Grand seemed a good option because of its location and beautiful images online. But we were disappointed with how unwelcoming the front desk person was - he didn’t react even when we told him that it was our first time at the hotel. The room was stylish but there were cobwebs in the corners! The staff at the bar were very pleasant and the lobby area is quite beautiful but we may just be going back to our regular hotel.
2.0
I was not informed the room key was needed to reach my floor but I figured it out quickly. There was no rain shower in my room despite it looking like there was a pipe for it. The hot water never came to my sink after running it for a minute or two. The motorized shades were nice. Took a bit to figure out how to turnout the lights in the bathroom in the middle of the night.
2.5
Love this hotel! I will absolutely stay here again.
1.0
The hotel is nice, well located and the bar on the 21st floor is lovely. Unfortunately the staff were dismissive and rude for the most part. I left my wife to check in while I parked the car, they notably treated her differently to other guests checking in because she was there solo, didn’t ask her the same questions as other guests and left out standard information that I later had to go and ask. They also messed up our bill for the bar and incidentals, which I’m still waiting on a resolution for. Overall the place is nice. Just expect poor service.
5.0
Great location
2.5
Love staying at this place anytime I'm in San Fran. It's conveniently located and has a historic feel in the lobby and the bar. One of my favorite parts is the water bottle filling station in every hallway. It's eco-friendly and you don't have to worry about where to find potable water. The beds and sheets are so comfy. Awesome bar on the top floor that stays open late too.
5.0
Friendly staff. A nice hotel!
5.0
Everything is great 💯💯 but the walls are paper thin. Can hear people walking around the hall and those who checked in the next room. But aside from that it was a great stay!
