"We had the best time staying here! It is cultivated to be so comfortable and peaceful, and the homey touches are so welcoming. We particularly enjoyed the sauna and hot tub. It was the perfect place to host a bit group of a friends on a little vacation. Thank you!! "

"The young lady at the front desk seemed miserable and unapproachable. Luis, was great! He worked the breakfast shift on Christmas Eve. The suite I stayed in was very dated. The suite was not cleaned upon my arrival. Arm chair, sofa and coffee table was stained, dirty and old. I had to buy 3 Glade air fresheners to get rid of old smells. I did have a good time here but that front desk worker as I mentioned above was not helpful and needs to be retrained . "

"The best thing was parking. It was super easy. As long as no other car take up the designated parking spot in front of the grass (which no one did). I rented a car, and I mean, if you're visiting the Bay Area you should rent a car. The main issue I had was that the shower drain was clogged. Other than that, it's a studio and felt like a studio. It was also a bit annoying that there was a sign that you could only use 1 of each of the following at a time: the coffee machine, the microwave, and...

Park Side Cafe has really upgraded, superb bakery, excellent chef. Breakers Cafe also very good. Bookstore and library close at hand, and Mt. Tam is just across thge street with world class coastal view trails and redwoods. Stinson Beacch Market is well-stocked — including fresh vegetables — and has friendly staff members. "

"The property was as advertised with ample space for all guests. There was supposed to be a twin bed in the king bed room but otherwise, we had the beds needed/expected. There was a plumbing issue with one of the bathrooms (water leaking to ceiling below) that needs to be addressed. All else was good."

"Beautiful and quiet place astonishingly close to museums and hiking trails. Highly recommended."

"We recently returned to San Francisco for a week hoping to land a view, a location near historic Jackson Square, the Ferry building, and the Embarcadero; and walkability to the water, Chinatown and North Beach, and other shops and restaurants. This corner two bedroom penthouse in the very cool East Cut area checked all those boxes and more. With floor to ceiling windows, and spare but very clean decor, we awoke to the Salesforce Tower gleaming golden out one window and went to sleep with the Bay...

"The property was very much like it was advertised - nice gathering spaces and well-stocked kitchen for dishes and cookware. There could have been more towels to fit the number of guests allowed and there were no blankets. For the cooler seasons, some throw blankets would be good. The property is in a nice area with easy access to everything in sonoma. It was nice and quiet at night. We would definitely stay there again."

"The stay was more than we anticipated-there were a few minor hiccups, but overall I would book another stay."

"Good location just a block away from Pier 39. Trader Joe's and Walgreens nearby. The F Trolley which takes you to BART is within a block. Easy for public transportation and activities. They give a small bottle of water to each person at check in; a bottle per person per day would be an even nicer gesture. We left our bags with Bell Service after checkout until late evening pickup for flight. Enjoyed our stay. "

"The Hilton San Francisco Financial District is a centrally located hotel that offers convenience for both business and leisure travelers. Pros: • Great Location – Situated in the Financial District, it’s within walking distance of Chinatown, North Beach, and the Embarcadero. • Spacious Rooms – Many rooms offer nice city or bay views, with comfortable beds and modern rooms. • Good Amenities – Fitness center, business facilities, and an on-site restaurant/bar. • Public Transportation Access – Close to BART, Muni, and bus stops for easy travel around the city. Cons: • Extra Fees – Parking is expensive $60 night, and Wi-Fi may not be free depending on your booking. • Street Noise – Being in a busy part of the city, some rooms may experience noise from traffic and nightlife. Overall, it’s a solid choice for those wanting a well-located hotel with standard Hilton amenities, but it might not feel as upscale as some other options in the city."

"Bathroom, fridge, heater and fridge all work well. TV channels like CNBC or Discovery Channel have good signal, although some other channels have intermittent signal. Bed is comfy. The carpeted floor in the room could be cleaner. In my opinion, the lighting can be changed in some areas to give the room/corridors a cleaner feel but I can see that some might find the darker and warmer atmosphere more charming."
