Arrived at 5:30 and was surprised when I saw a small but decent amount of folks here. When I approached the bar and got my first drink, I understood why folks were there so early....the drinks were a buck! Such a steal and great way to get folks in. The concept of battle of the decades is great too! Each hour is a different decade of music,starting with the 60's. I spent a few hours dancing from 60's-80's music until about 8pm (perfect for an old millennial like me) until the place filled up. Totally great night at Monroe. Cheap drink specials, great music, and I was able to get in bed by 8:30pm. I'll definitely be back again.

I preface this by saying I attempted 3x to call and give this feedback live first before writing a…read morereview. --- My friend and I came to Cultivar Ghirardelli for happy hour on a Friday, expecting a pleasant experience, but left feeling weird and offended. To set the scene, there was only one woman working, and we were understanding that service might be slow due to this. The woman was friendly, but her behavior during a few interactions was quite off-putting. First, we ordered happy hour wine flights. The woman mentioned she might be busy and explained that she'll come around to pour the wines in one glass for us since the other glasses were hot. She was proactive after we finished our first glass, pouring us the second into our first glasses. However, when it came to the third wine, we found it strange that she brought us a mini carafe of Cabernet while we weren't even halfway through our second wine. This inconsistency was a bit odd, especially since she told us upfront she'd pour for us after each round. The second interaction was the most peculiar. My friend and I were ready to pay and waved the woman over. She approached us with a long receipt in hand, asking if we wanted our receipt. Assuming she was referring to the bill, we said yes. However, she became visibly confused when she realized she was handing us another table's receipt. She spent the next two minutes engaging in a back-and-forth conversation with us, arguing that we couldn't be asking for a receipt, that the receipt she had initially brought us belonged to another table, and that we still needed to pay. My friend and I were pretty offended at the last comment about us "still needing to pay", because that was exactly our intention in waving her over. During this exchange, I was completely dumbfounded, and she remarked, "You look mad, are you mad?" I didn't appreciate the comment about my face, especially since she was the one who was confused. She also mentioned that she was the only one working that day and had made an exception to order us food. This comment was also odd because the other parties around us had also ordered charcuterie boards. Finally, as she was closing us out using the point-of-sale system, she refused to let me hold the device to enter my tip privately (we had tipped 20%). She insisted that she had to hold the device due to "WiFi issues". However, every time I've visited a dine-in restaurant with the same point-of-sale device, the waiters have simply handed it over to us. This entire interaction was incredibly strange. Despite the unusual service, the venue is cute, airy and lively, and I genuinely enjoyed all of the wines that we tried in the flight. They were flavorful, fuller bodied, and delicious. We're disappointed that we had to leave with a sour and confusing taste in our mouths, and can't say we'd come back based on this experience.

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.

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.

I luckily live walking distance so it's easy for me to get to.

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!

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!
