    Ahhh I think we found one of our new favorite hotels when in San Francisco and with our dog baby…read more This hotel is situated near so many great places like Pier39, and Fisherman's Wharf. Everything you would want and need is all within a 10 min walking distance. The parking is valet only and they charge $75-$100 a night so we parked around the corner at one of the many parking garages that are MUCH cheaper so I'd recommend that. The hotel was super nice, they even have cocktail hour with wine, beer, lemonade and apple cider which is a nice touch. No snacks though just drinks but still a nice gesture especially in this economy. They are dog friendly and do not charge extra for your dog staying. The aesthetics is nice, the restaurant attached to this hotel is also really nice. Overall I'd definitely recommend. Oh and upon checkout-we were assured by a lovely lady at the counter named Mary. She was so pleasant and sweet to talk to. We laughed about staycations and Napa Valley. She was such a sweetheart. Glad we chose this place. We will be back!

    I really wanted to love Kimpton Alton because I typically enjoy boutique hotels that pride…read morethemselves on hospitality. Unfortunately, this stay fell far short of the experience and it delivered like a Holiday Inn. The biggest disappointment was the front desk. We stood at the front desk for over 10 minutes on Monday waiting to be acknowledged -- both the AM and especially the PM staff didn't care to look above their monitors. We were not greeted. Not told, "We'll be right with you." Just completely ignored by the front desk staff while they went about their business. Hospitality starts with making guests feel seen, and this hotel failed at the most basic level. The owner of this location might as well hire AI robots to check guests in. It might attract more customers. If you're a CSR member, this hotel does not give any Edit benefits. It isn't worth staying at even with the "Select" IHG credit, IMO. I also have AX platinum and I noticed they provided early check in for those guests but their amenities are also not worth the booking for benefits. The room was equally underwhelming. It felt tired and dingy rather than stylish or boutique. The addition of a record player in the room plus a pet plant you can get at the front desk is a lame way to call an old building "boutique." To make matters worse, the motorized curtains repeatedly glitched in the middle of the night, opening on their own several times and waking us up. It's a small detail that became a big annoyance when all you want is a good night's sleep. The one bright spot was Dean, the concierge. He was genuinely warm, welcoming, and embodied the kind of hospitality I expected from the entire hotel. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel like valued guests. Dean was the only reason this review isn't one star. A boutique hotel can have quirky décor or minor maintenance issues if the service is exceptional. But when you're ignored at check-in, given a room that feels worn, and then have your sleep interrupted by malfunctioning curtains, it's hard to justify the premium price. Kimpton Alton has potential, but until the front desk team understands that acknowledging guests is Hospitality 101, I won't be returning.

    We had our combination wedding & reception here in mid-September and it was a truly spectacular…read moreexperience. The space was ideal, with everything we needed to make it perfect. It has a great sound system, a mic + amp for speeches and announcements, a large bar space and kitchen, outdoor heaters, a spacious restroom, separate boardroom...more than we could've hoped. The layout, with large indoor and outdoor areas, was great for people who wanted a quieter refuge and for those who wanted to feel like part of the crowd. The space feels large but also intimate, and even with a small setup and cleanup crew, it was entirely manageable. Every one of our guests was impressed with the space and had a blast. I want to give special props to our contact Nathalia, who helped us with the entire process from booking to completion and follow-up. We were able to visit the space several times, and she showed us how all of its features worked. She made us feel welcome...like the space truly was ours for the day and not just a rental space. Planning and executing a wedding is no easy task, but she made the venue arrangement probably the simplest part of it. I'd absolutely recommend the Newhall Nest to anyone looking for a rooftop venue. There's honestly nothing else like it in SF.

    Neon has been such a great co-working space for me when I need a change of pace from my normal home…read moreoffice, and when I need to sit down and focus on getting work done. I luckily live walking distance so it's easy for me to get to. They charge $5 an hour for Wifi (or $25 a day), which I think is totally reasonable since there is unlimited coffee included, and I'd probably pay that or more at a coffee shop anyway. They have tons of outlets, and even offer chargers, mouse, keyboard, monitors if needed. If you are here during lunch time, there is a ton of great restaurants nearby to eat at or pick up food to eat while you work. I have a dog, and it's nice that they are super dog friendly! They even have an outdoor space in the back, but I typically sit inside with my dog. I am so happy that a place like Neon exists!!

After some Googling, I came across NEON and decided to call. Teddy answered and immediately scheduled a time to help me out. Even though I wasn't able to make it on the originally scheduled day, Teddy went above and beyond and came in on a day when the space was already booked for an event and very busy. He helped me get everything done quickly and efficiently. This was also around the holidays, so I'm especially grateful for the extra effort. NEON is a co-working space, but it has such a friendly, down-to-earth vibe. I really appreciate their flexible pricing model. You can pay for a day pass ($25) or by the hour ($5), which makes it affordable without feeling locked into a subscription you have to constantly justify. I'll definitely be coming back to do work here more often, meet people, and enjoy the amenities. There's even an outdoor space, which is a great bonus. Huge shoutout to Teddy and the NEON team for creating such a vibrant, cozy, and inviting space. Everyone is genuine, thoughtful, and happy to help with anything you might need. Highly recommend. Definitely check it out!
