Wow! Can you say bou-gie with a pop of panache! Let's just say I love, love, love this location! We had a funeral to attend in the City and did not want to travel back to Sacramento or rush to SF. We opted to stay at the King George Hotel! I am so glad we did. The ambience, the staff, the breakfast in the morning............................ where do I start? We arrived around 1:00 am in the morning. Staff was at the desk just as cheerful as a country morning! They were friendly, helpful and what I needed to see! It did not take forever to check-in and the room was perfect for my family! The beds were so soft and comfortable! The bathrooms were immaculate, and the entire place smelled divine!!! Breakfast................. so many options. The fruit was fresh. The coffee was hot. And there were enough pastries for both of my thighs!! Did I mention they had a full bar!!! Come through with all the amenities!! Now that is my good..................................... The bad..... not too much. Although the windows are fully functional and open open. So be careful with the kiddos. The walls are thin..... my sister heard us talking the entire night. Good thing it was just her complaining! LOL There is one elevator that takes forever !! But hey do not be in a rush to go anywhere! LOL I recommend this hotel for the working class, Entrepeneur (with patience), business class, no children, teen friendly, more mature crowd. Oh and make sure....... do NOT get the rooms by the elevator. Room 800 is literally right there!

Five stars for location. It's right in Union Square and there are plenty places that are within walking distance. It's a very safe neighborhood with lots to do. Five stars for convenience. There's an awesome parking garage right across the street that's independently operated and charges a fee, but it's a nice to have covered, secure parking, especially because street parking is hard to come by. Five stars for the staff / service. I didn't have any special needs, but everybody was great and very friendly and helpful. Three stars for comfort. My room was super small, which is mostly fine since I was traveling alone, but I even kind of bumped into myself in the room, especially in the bathroom. It was totally fine for one night, but it would have gotten annoying after that. The room also had a good ceiling fan and the windows did open, but the street was a little too loud to keep the windows open, even on the 9th floor. Five stars for cleanliness. Everything was impeccable. Five stars for atmosphere. A cute theme that matches the vintage building. Unfortunately the bar was not open when I came home relatively early on a Saturday night. That would have been a nice spot to hang out at. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to my friends, although I would be wary of how large a room would be for more than one person.

Door has room to add drywall and frame for noise.

Okay I will tell you the first night I would of left 1 star review. Okay this is what happened capital one credit card offered this hotel with free parking included. Well I looked on the reviews and they said parking across the street is 39.00. But if you want all access in and out is 43.00 per day. That just made my trip even worst because I rather stay at a hotel that offered free parking. Really none of the downtown hotels offer free parking so it's okay. Alright for everyone coming on weekends I will tell you how to avoid paying for parking which I wish the hotel would just suggest. So it's free street parking everyday 6pm-7am. I arrived Friday night. Front desk tells me to go to the parking at the expensive parking garage. They should suggest to park on the street for free parking til 7am. Which I did at 7am I found this app on line spothero.com, found a parking next door to the hotel for 19.00, from 7am-5pm so I parked there. Then Saturday night 6pm-7am free parking. Sunday free parking. So I was suppose to pay 129.00 for parking and I figured it out and paid 19.00 total. Near the hotel if you go behind Jack in the box there's 24 hour parking for 20.00 which I found out too late. It was after a walk so this review more of suggestion on parking then anything. Okay why I decided to give a 5 star review. Minus the parking and small room. The room was still very clean. The breakfast in the morning got this hotel from a 1 star to 5 star. This hotel is the only hotel in San Francisco that offers a really nice breakfast like this. I'm telling you it's a breakfast I never saw before. They had turkey croissants and you can warm in microwave. I just wished they didn't have cheese in it. But that's okay. They had donuts. Really nice stuff. Muffins that were so delicious. I would say the breakfast saved the hotel. Some people would say I'm over exaggerating which I might. But it was good. Everyday I had a sandwich. My kids loved the blue berry muffin. Okay for room 305 the bed near the door should go against the wall so the chair at the desk can move around. Next I think the hotel should cut the closet in half and extend the bathroom and maybe put 2 sink vanity. It just feels tight in the restroom. Just some suggestions. I don't know if the manager reads any of this but it's just good suggestions. Keep the breakfast the same. Game area nice as well. Lobby really nice. 5 star review. Thank you Another bad thing. When the door closes all the doors shake together. The walls are thin here. I think it could be fixed. 2x4 and insulation and drywall. Because the door sticks out from the door there's plenty of room to frame and make it right. Suggestion again. I'm still here writing this review as we speak.

Its an older hotel that needs alottt of work. I was told by a tour guide that this hotel was actually a mansion which was converted into a hotel. Not sure how true that is but given how tiny the rooms are and the set up of the entire hotel I can actually see that. The customer service was superb, each and every employee tried there absolute best to make our stay wonderful for my daughters birthday however, staying at this hotel was unpleasant. I loved the theme and the decorations of this hotel. This was part of the reason I booked it due to my daughters affinity with all things UK. Also because of where the hotel is situated, in the heart of union square which makes it pretty much close by all things attraction wise in San Francisco. Our room was on the second floor. The elevator was broken so you had to use the stairs. The problem with the stairs was that they were very narrow, hardly any lighting, and spiraled straight up. very dangerous for elderly and people carrying heavy luggage or items up and down the stairs. Also other guests were constantly coming and going up and down the stairs, it was just a hassle since there was barley any room to move around. The room was very tiny, with two very tiny twin beds in it. There's no air conditioner, and a really old heater that needs water to work with only 2 settings. They have windows in the bathroom that don't shut properly and have no screen on them so the cold air and noise from outside blows in the room all night. Our heater did not work so maintenance came and fixed it, 24 hours later same thing. I would have to call maintenance every single time I wanted to turn on some heat. There was no floor length mirror in the room, the hot water would waver on and off, and the bar downstairs only served 2 types of wines and 1 type of beer. What I did enjoy at the hotel was every morning there was a nice coffee and tea bar. Also all the hotel staff were very friendly , it wasn't there fault I had a bad experience at all. They were just working with the scraps they were given chile!

On the brighter side, the gentleman who committed to calling me back with the disposition of my tablet did indeed call me back and met my expectation. Not sure what your name is but I do want to say thank you for that you were the brighter part of the whole trip. As for the rest of the crew, you saw the review. Thanks for owning that solution.

Small corner mirror, please don't mind my mess and flowers I brought in

They allowed early check in at 3pm instead of 4. We got a queen bed with the worst, most inconvenient, dinky restroom. I should have asked for an upgrade, but I needed to be somewhere right after arriving. I plopped my stuff and left. The restroom was so tiny and the door opened at the most inconvenient direction. The door rubs against the electrical outlet; and it swings into the bathroom and hits the toilet. The sinks mirror is at the corner and it's so small that you have to pivot from the sink to see yourself.. This was so inconvenient. You'd have to avoid the door to use the toilet. If the bathroom didn't do this, I'd be fine, but if you are larger than me (a petite and short woman), I would not recommend the staying here. It's okay in cleanliness In the case that the only elevator is down, the spiral stairs are so narrow and uneven, that it is awful to get down. If you have a medical emergency, you probably would need to expect a long wait time for them to take you down; that's if you don't fall off the stretcher. Location wise, it's near everything, but also the neighbourhood is sketchy. If you turn the corner up on mason st, near the CVS it gets better. Otherwise, I feel unsafe walking around alone.

This hotel is in a great location and it's such a great value! It's clean and the bed is comfortable. Provisions include bathrobes, Italian body wash, shampoo and lotion, coffee and tea, free WiFi. The lobby provides pool, darts, board games, and books or newspapers for your use during your stay. It's an old building with all the charm but, with that said, the rooms are small, the elevator is small, and there is no AC. The location, cleanliness, and mostly the excellent customer service specifically by Vivian ( day desk) and Jay ( night desk, bar tender etc etc ) by far outweigh any cons of this hotel. When we checked in we realized we were there a day late! I still don't know how I got the dates mixed up but Vivian accommodated us and smoothed things over quite well. Thank you Vivian! Your kindness and welcoming demeanor are what hotels should strive towards. And Jay, after we returned from dinner, was in charge of the front desk and the bar. He went back and forth and was very attentive to our needs and was very friendly. If it was purely based on service alone, I would give it 5 stars.

It has been an interesting stay at King George. It's a cute little hotel but I was very disappointed with the service. They forgot to clean our rooms and replenish our complementary items. I even gave the service folks my list of needed items: coffee, tea, lotion, towels, beds being made, etc. Sigh. My favorite unforeseen event: one of the employees opened up our room door without knocking and confirming we were not there. He just opened it and attempted to walk in. Haha...wow! What if we were changing or doing some private stuff? This has never happened to me before. Lol. Plus side: the front staff was very sweet and nice. Very accommodating and supportive. I don't know where the communication broke down with the overall staff. It's so disappointing. Sigh. So, book at your own risk.

Reservation of smoking, proving smoking reservation and showing that this was a Smokin Hotel
Ki D.

Alert!! Alert!!! Warning Warning!!!! Before I get into the grit, grim, unpleasantries of this review I would like to say in all this chaotic mess, Gabriele is the best employee, the best supervisor, and a ultimate customer service handler. This man should be the manager of the of this hotel. There are pictures to back my event. When I booked the room through my T-Mobile app. I had every intention on booking a smoking room.,even in my pics you will see my reservation was confirmed with a smoke large bed. Upon arriving at the hotel we are greeted by Gabriele at the front desk which at the time I did not know was the supervisor who was very kind with his greeting. There was also another man sitting beside him at the time I did not know that he was not the supervisor. Gabriel tried to offer my friend and I a early check in by paying just $30 that was agreeable so we could change and freshen up but the employee on the side of Gabriel spoke up started fussing about some nonsense looking at his watch saying it's too late and that's not agreeable The guy said that you can do it for $50 I said never mind, we will just store our luggage until 4:00 PM which is the proper check in no biggie. Moving forward towards day two. By now I have smoked medical cannabis in the room. By the way, my room look more like a small apartment. It did not look like the pictures at all on the website.,there was mold in the bathroom which could've been prevented because there was a window there, but they bolted it shut. There is mold in the only window in the room. The room is way small. It's hardly room for two people. There's no screen behind the window to keep the bugs out and they bolted that to a certain point so you can only open it so far see all in pics. Now, to finish the threat of the second day. The lady who I didn't know at the time was the housekeeping manager, which she did not identify herself my friend and I thought she was knocking on the door to try to clean the room which we weren't ready to leave yet, so we said come back. But she kept banging on the door , we opened it to see what the commotion was. She started you're smoking in this room is a $500 fine you will be paying it and that's it. I was confused because I've been here for three mornings the room has been cleaned and left my trashy water bottle that I had my guts from my cigar and ashes from me smoking medical cannabis I tried to explain to the lady where the confusion started in booking. She said she don't care she's not listening to anything I had to say and I will be charged $500, rude, rude rude!!! she was smoking mad and you could see she was shaking and how angry she was. Since the lady wouldn't listen. I went to go find a hotel manager and to my surprise that's when I found out it was Gabriele. I explain to him the situation he did apologize for his employees behavior. He did not charge us the $500 but he was instructed to charge me $200 for deep cleaning And now we are instructed for the rest of this stay to go smoke in the alley. That is where all the homeless people gather get naked get changed build tents I am a female, my friends, is a female, and you want us to stand in a alley? You can see how shady the other side of the hotel look and also far as the deep cleaning it was never cleaned properly in the first place, and we were deceived from the website, please please please do not even book this hotel for your dogs. I would just stay anywhere else but there. this is one King that needs to be brought down. PS, you can request to remove the homeless out of the alley.

Bath room door , falling off . Wife not happy as she could not get out . Had to open from other side

See all

I checked in late in the evening during a holiday weekend, and it was busy. The front lobby had two people checking in guests. When it was my turn at the counter, we were checked in pretty quickly and given a run down of the layout and weekend activities. Fresh water is provided right by the elevators so you can fill water bottles before heading to your rooms. And in the morning, hot coffee is provided right before you head out for the day. Pretty thoughtful. My stay was two nights, and the first night the street music and sounds came thru loud and clear. But the second night, it was quiet outside. So it's unpredictable if my stay would be relaxing or nerve racking. The room for 3 was a good size with a large bathroom, large windows of street view, and sizable writing desk, and arm chair. I got to use the gym once and it had all the general equipment and fairly large room. Upon check out, we received the kid welcome gift which was supposed to be at check in, but check in was chaotic so it was better late than never. And the staff were all very nice and friendly during our stay. We would come back to this location if we get the chance again.

There's a yogurt bar with fresh fruit and even hard boiled eggs, there's always oatmeal with toppings. There's a center island filled with all of the carbs you can think of even tortillas. The bananas are always just ripe and that's rare. And there are two coffee stations one by the breakfast area and one by the front entry. I love the coffee!

From my seat in section 315 (upper deck, behind home plate), my commute to my bed was 12 minutes. And like 8 of those minutes were waiting in line to get on the escalator and waiting for the trolley to pass on the street. 4) Every person we interacted with couldn't have been friendlier.

Hayes Valley

This is probably my favorite place to stay as it may be somewhat older (classic old school - rooms…read morewith washstand but toilets and shower/bath in the hall) but it right in the middle of Hayes Valley and everything is right there and there are good restaurants, coffee shops, great ice cream places, a nice park to sit by and read and of course a beer garden by the park that opens in the afternoon. You can also easily walk or do mass transit to other places - I did a walk up to the Painted Ladies and then hung out a bit in the lower Haight and then easily walked back down to this area. The establishment also has a kitchen area so you can go pick up sundry and supplies at the local Trader Joe's (just 2 or 3 blocks away) if you want to limit how much you spend eating out (something I plan to do next time) and the kitchen has free tea and instant coffee so the basics if you want to ease into your day. If you want the full "bathroom in my room" sort of thing there are other places but this is my 2nd time here and it is still great - there are stairs and no elevator so keep that in mind but the price versus location is wonderful - if noise bothers you, then bring ear plugs for the weekend - not super loud but if you are not used to noise, it might keep you up a bit - but I've found it to be a super safe area - you can catch the Bart most of the way (to the civic center) and then you catch the 21 3 stops to this location. Do note, you don't have someone on staff there but available by text and you use a key app, that they notify the day you are checking in - which I think works well - it is nice to have an affordable way to get out of the heat in Phoenix, especially in the summer, and I'm not looking for a resort experience but a place to lay my head and keep my stuff while I go enjoy the sights and sounds, and amazing food and drink, of the local area.

When I asked about this price discrepancy, they just replied with "the prices change everyday". It's not even worth staying here anymore. The bathrooms aren't kept up as well, there's no front desk, and no breakfast spread. $535 for 3 nights vs the 410 that it was listed for? They're trying to take advantage of the fact that I booked non-refundable! I've been trying to get in contact with management and all I'm told is that management doesn't work at hours so I'd be unable to call the line. "Email them" is what I was told to do. It seems like they don't email back either. The Inn holds a lot of special memories for me but I will never go back.

If you can, snag one of the rooms with a deep soaking tub--best decision ever after a long day exploring the city. And don't miss the rustic in-ground hot tub in the back garden--it's a dreamy place to unwind under the stars. Plus, the small rooftop terrace is a total hidden gem with sweeping views of the San Francisco skyline--perfect for a sunrise coffee or a sunset glass of wine. All in all, a wonderfully quirky stay that's totally worth experiencing!

For 2025 and before, I would give this place 10/10! It was my absolute favorite B&B in the city and…read moreI would recommend it to anyone!!! However... as of 2026, I don't even know if it's open for business anymore. The website is dead, and people are saying they can't even get a hold of anyone. The building was sold in January and the business status is murky. All I know is, Marty and Connie were the beating heart and soul of this establishment. Unfortunately, people do age and eventually pass. I don't think that either of them has passed, but from what I heard, there was a sudden medical issue and they're not coming back. I hope that the new ownership can get it together and bring back this amazing place to continue as a gem of a place to stay in SF, but... not holding my breath. :-(

LOVED, loved, loved the ambiance of this hotel. The staff is incredible here. Every single person…read morewas so courteous and kind and offered exceptional service. This was a staycation for me to enjoy the 250th celebration of America. I booked the premier bay to bay bridge room(4511). I would highly recommend booking this type of room especially if you have never been to SF. As a local, I was still in awe of the beauty. You could see everything - Golden Gate Bridge - Bay bridge -Presido- Transamerica - Coit Tower. Karl the fog ruined fireworks but BOOK THIS ROOM, it's that good. I will say when checking in, even though I booked thie premier view room they gave me keys to a Bay Brdge view only room. I am not knocking any points off because when I questioned it they made it right, right away. I also ordered the Bridge treat tray and we did not get that. I had to ask three separate times but they did end if bringing it. We brought our dog with us and the staff brought him treats (which he LOVED). We didn't make it to the restaurant but ordered room service. We ordered clam chowder and OMG this is the best clam chowder in SF. The bread bowl was perfect and the clam chowder was loaded with clams. Since I am a local to SF I just might stop in here when craving clam chowder. A few hiccups - it happens, but overall very happy with our choice to stay here. Will definitely be staycationing again here.

Not sure who the GM is, but they need to take a bow for creating and maintaining a culture of pride and excellence. The staff is happy to be here and it shows in every small detail.

For those used to staying at JW Marriotts or similar level of luxury or higher, this property will…read morelikely feel underwhelming to you. Those that a hotel of this level is an infrequent splurge, or stay here with tempered expectations, may find it satisfying depending on the rate/perks you got. We paid a little over $300 a night including all fees/taxes but as AMEX Platinum members got extra credit and perks so our total credits/perks were worth about $300 total for the two nights including an $80/day breakfast credit. So it was about like staying for $150/night with no credits/perks. Given location/amenities, I think up to around $200/night would be a fair discount rate (as of Summer 2026) Location: is good for tourists and the area in general feels safe and clean as the city has cleaned this area up a bit from previous years. Parking: $94 a day for valet (no self park.) Yep, welcome to Downtown San Francisco. You could valet park in the small garage across the street for $32 but no in/out privileges. Lobby/Check-in: It's an atrium style hotel with lobby on the 3rd floor. Check-in was easy. Lobby is nice with a bar and lots of seating with a whole other seating area to the side and behind the bar. They have their climate control too cold though in the Lobby. Dining: There's only one restaurant at lobby level with just a view of the building next door. Prices are very high but short of outrageous considering you are in a JW in the middle of San Francisco. We thought it would be hard for 2 people to use the $80 credit for breakfast. Not so when average breakfast entrees are in the $33-$38 range. We also ate dinner in the restaurant. The food for both breakfast and dinner was excellent. Not Michelin Star level of course, and overpriced, but actually pretty quite good for a hotel restaurant. Note there is a setup for a Buffet Breakfast (were told it is $52/person when open) but they didn't run it on Saturday or Sunday so there was a bit of a wait to get a seat in the restaurant for breakfast. Rooms: Rooms are decent size and well-furnished in good condition but although they don't feel outdated, they feel a little 'tired around the edges' so to speak. If you want that freshly renovated feel, you won't get it here. Bathroom size is going to vary as our large corner room with a sitting area with table had a very small bathroom and our neighbors had a smaller room but with a decent size bathroom. Street noise was minimal on the 12th floor but if you are sensitive to the noise, I wouldn't go any lower than floor 10. Views will vary but likely will be of the side of another building through what I call 'prison windows' which is a smaller than average window opening inset within a concrete looking surround. Bed was comfortable, mattress was good but felt slightly stiff/tired as though it was probably getting near then end of its lifespan but still quite comfortable. Linens very good. So overall good beds but nothing to write home about. I had read the reviews and although I typically stay in this level of a hotel I had tempered my expectations and so the stay was satisfying and served its purpose with no unpleasant surprises. If you want to be less prone to having an overcharged feeling: a) Use valet across the street or SpotHero app to find cheaper in/out parking nearby (if you have a car) and b) don't bother eating/drinking in the hotel -- go elsewhere to non-hotel restaurants to eat and drink.

To all Marriott members from Silver, Gold, Platinum, Titanium, etc…read more Do not stay at this Marriott, find another one, for the following reasons. - They do not have a concierge - They do not have a pool - They will charge full price for breakfast, I paid $240.00 for breakfast (please see attached) These are all facts, I am also a "Lifetime Titanium" Member, And they treated me like crap. I asked for reimbursement regarding my breakfast. They refused. Obviously, I love Marriotts, stay away from this place!!! When they respond, revert to my invoice and remember I'm a "Lifetime Titanium" member. Arnie
