I stayed here in a suite with my husband and 2 toddlers. In general I don't like carpets, and there was something about this place that made us all feel damp. I know it is supposedly renovated, but we just felt slightly uncomfortable here. I understand it is a historic building and renovation, but somehow I sensed/heard gaps beneath the... More

Not bad if you can get a good rate -- right in the center of the tourist district... but the hotel -- while beautifully historic, is in need of renovation. I was in the main building -- not the tower, so the tower may be better -- but rooms in the main building are old old old.. furniture is worn... More

Watch the historic in-room TV program about the hotel. Great historic perspective of one of California's historic hotels. I've stayed at this hotel more than any hotel in the world (300+ Nights over my lifetime). Get a room in the "Historic" wing overlooking Union Square. The 21-series, 10-series, and 34-series rooms are the best (1221, 1021, 1121, etc.). Also the... More

I stayed at the Westin St. Francis for a business trip last week. The location is very good for shopping and dining. The hotel is historic and has a lot of character. However, I was surprised at how tiny the room was, and it was not as nice as other Westins I have stayed in. Little things, such as the... More

Stayed here while attending a conference. I was upgraded to a room in the new tower on the 27th floor. View of Union Square and city was terrific. Room was very nice as in other upgraded Westin properties. I hear from other conference attendees that the rooms in the historic tower were noisy. Not an issue in the new tower.... More

I think the Westin St. Francis is a decent hotel. The Westin bed is of course fantastic - extremely comfortable. The staff was very nice, attentive, and helpful. And the rooms are a fair price for San Francisco. The negatives - dated, very simple rooms. There were 4 dirty empty wine glasses right outside my door when I checked in,... More

As you can see, I review Starwood properties often. I travel a lot and I am a Platonism member. This hotel, in short, is dated and needs some work. The elevators I the main building were down. Two of six worked. The banks were left open causing a draft. My phone was broken for the three day stay. The gym... More

I was at the St Francis for three nights last week and had a room on the 12th floor of the original building. The room was comfortable and clean, but despite being tucked down a hall off the main corridor it was extremely loud. My assumption is that this lovely old hotel just wasn't built with the same sound proofing... More

In San Francisco for a week on business. Great central hotel, well appointed rooms, comfortable bed and nicely decorated room. More
