I wanted to love the Hotel Vitale. We love the FERRY BUILDING MARKETPLACE this hotel is steps away. Public transportation all around. Convenient from the stop on the Bart. Joie de vivre Hotel chain. One of the chains more pricey hotels. Spotless bathroom (but no place to put your clothes and a drain that did not drain) Comfortable beds with... more

Stayed here as part of our Calfornian road trip for our honeymoon. I was really looking forward to reaching San Francisco and excited at the thought of staying at the Vitale having read reviews on this site. What a disappointment! This hotel is a business hotel and nothing more. The staff are really impersonal and we felt as though we... more

Only thing missing from the room was coffee. Complimentary coffee service is in the lobby. more

Fantastic hotel whose web site does not do its rooms justice. We were upgraded to a fantastic room facing the Bay Bridge. Much better location being near the Ferry Building than inland or near Fishermans wharf. more

The first thing that caught my eye about this hotel with that it was the same as my surname. We paid top dollar and stayed in the second best room available and were not dissapointed.

On the spur of the moment we brought our stay there to an abrupt end and... more

We stayed at this hotel for the San Francisco Marathon weekend, and the location could not be better. The hotel is easily accessible from SFO as it is located approximately 2 blocks away from the BART Embarcadero station. The Ferry Building is literally across the street, which made it very convenient to go to the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings.... more

I got a great expedia deal on this--under $200/night before tax. Stayed here for the San Francisco Marathon, which starts literally right outside the doors of the hotel. But there's a lot else right outside this hotel's doors--Ferry Building, Farmers Market, Whatever The Name of The Giants Stadium This Year...the entire Embarcadero is right there. Room was fantastic, even though... more
