    My husband and I stayed at the Westin St. Francis in February while I was in town for a conference. The hotel is beautiful. Our room was clean, and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. Food in the hotel was extremely expensive, so we ate ate places nearby. There are lots to choose from. (There is a Cheesecake Factory right across the street in the Macy's building - Yum!) The concierge was helpful in pointing us to a local grocery to find lunch items for my husband, who was going on a day trip. Fisherman's Wharf is a quick cab or Trolley ride away. Parking in town can be difficult and very expensive. We took a cab in from the airport (about $50 with tip one way) and then rented a car on a day by day basis nearby when needed. If you have time, watch the hotel channel documentary on the history of the hotel - it was really very good.

    The Westin St. Francis in San Francisco has always been a superior hotel and I have stayed there numerous times during the past 30 years. My last stay was approximately 4 years ago and the overall appearence of the property has deteriorated significantly. The staff was helpful and courteous. The physical property was disappointing this trip because of the overall poor condition of the hotel, both in common areas such as the lobby and hallways, as well as, the room itself. Specifically, the common areas were dirty as exemplified by the soiled and worn carpets, dried beverage residue that was very apparent on the walls in the lobby and hallways, and the discarded trash(candy wrappers, etc.) in the elevators. The room had chipped paint, peeling wallpaper, stained and soiled furnishings. The couch and chairs were so dirty I didn't want to sit on them. Additionally, no doorman was present after 10pm on a Saturday night which allowed transients to loiter in front of the main doors and panhandle the guests as they exited the building. This property has a premium price based upon it's former glory, but unless management returns this property to it's traditional 1st class appearence, it is overpriced considering it's very poor cleanliness and extremely questionable security.

  • Small but decent

    The room was small but it's expected for a san francisco hotel and the bathroom was outdated. however, the location was great for shopping and sightseeing!

    Great location right on Union Square but the room was showing its old age - air conditioning didn't work well and the temperature never got below 75 degrees despite being set to the lowest temperature (60) and the fan on high and the drain didn't work well and must have been clogged bc you'd get 4 inches of water during a shower. Front desk didn't seem too concerned when I told them. Everything else was fine but its not like I spent much time there. They also charge for every single extra that other hotels might provide free (eg. internet/business center). Bed was just ok. Not a bad price. Overall, I wouldn't say the hotel is doing a great job of keeping up with its 4 star rating. Check out the other 4 star hotels ... maybe Intercontinental.

  • Good Times for a Good Price.

    After reading all the reviews of this hotel before I made my decision to book it, I found my experience to be better then expected. We had a few minor snags with our room, but the staff was definately helpful and helped make our vacation amazing. We got upgraded to the larger tower and we had a beautiful view of San Francisco. Don't be afraid to speak up if you're not happy, this staff will definately make sure you're happy. Some other awesome things about this hotel is the location, their are so many things to see, such as Chinatown, SFMOMA, Coit Tower, and other things. The cable cars run outside of the hotel, and are fun way to get to different destination and a lot of cool places are walking distance from this hotel. Chinatown is about 10 to 15 minute walking distances, the SFMOMA is almost the same amount of walking, and their are tons of places to eat. I totally fell in love with Lori's Diner. Oh and before I forget to mention the interior of the hotel and the lobbies are beautiful, I couldn't believe I was staying at such a nice hotel.
