I loved this place just from the picture i saw in a brochure, and I was not disappointed on arriving. The rooms are gorgeous. The staff were absolutely excellent and made us feel very welcome. Our time there was just wonderful. I'd recommend it to anyone staying in San Francisco more

This hotel is great and I would definately stay here again. The Hotel Frank is just a few steps from Union Square beside the Westin St Francis. The area is filled with great shops, great bars and restaurants. Directly across the road is a convenience store selling liquor with an ATM (we seemed to need that a lot!). The hotel... more

Let me just say, if you are looking for a place to stay in San Fran, then look no further than the Hotel Frank or any other Personality Hotel property for that matter. My husband and I had the best experience with the Personality Hotel staff. Right away the Marketing Diva helped me plan the most special surprise for my... more

I picked this hotel because of its location and because it was renovated recently. I usually stay at the "name" hotels but decided to take a chance on The Hotel Frank. I was not disappointed! There were some small glitches but the staff corrected them very quickly. Th hotel's proximity to Union Sqare and Market and Powell streets made moving... more

The pictures of the hotel looked beautiful with an art nouveau decor, yet with a contemporary feel. The room was nice with great linens, flat screen TV , nice marble bathroom, and an IPOD dock that we really enjoyed using. However, there was a sewer smell in the bathroom which might have come about from the heavy storm the day... more

The Hotel Frank aims for style but misses the mark by a mile because of its inefficient service, shabby maintenance and poor sound-proofing. If first impressions matter, the hotel completely fails because the lobby looks like something from a budget hotel (which this is ultimately what this is). The staff -- or lack thereof -- in the lobby also leave... more

Hotel Frank was our 'home' for 10 amazing days, and I must admit, after reading some negative reviews already posted here, we weren't sure what to expect. However, our experience was very good. The hotel lived up to our expectations and offered plenty of character. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel at home, they assisted us in... more

I booked this hotel on recommendation from a colleague because our usuals were booked for a huge conference. They had one room left for a reasonable rate, considering the fact that the whole city was sold out. I never expect much in the way of room size in a city, but this one was great, with plenty of room around... more
