BEWARE OF PARKING FEE

Called in advance to ensure that the parking fee was reasonable. Was told that while there was a valet fee, there was free self-parking. So, I booked my reservation. When I got there, was surprised to find out that whether or not I used the self-parking or the valet, it was $45.00 dollars a night. A little pricey to say the least.

Excellent service

This was my first stay at a Kimpton property. The decor was cool and the room was large for a SF hotel room. The people at the front desk made us feel right at home as soon as we walked in. Requests for items we ordered to our room were brought so fast that we weren't even ready to open the door. I don't think I have ever seen such prompt service. The bar was nice and the bartenders were very cool to talk to. Valet brought the wrong car around at the end of the stay but overall this place was great!

Great Room

This was a nice hotel, clean and conveniently located. Valet parking is expensive (I can not add the amount) but it may be worth looking into other parking if your trying to save money. Great shopping location.

A great boutique hotel

I travel 30 weeks a year for business staying in major cities. This is an excellent hotel in the Kimpton chain - the room was spacious, services were timely and convenient. If you need to be in the area (or even if you don't mind cabbing it to other parts of the city) this is a great choice. The neighborhood has many good nearby restaurants and the hotel sits amid many high-end retail stores (Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, etc. - you know the neighborhood is good when the Four Seasons is a block away). Highly recommended for business travelers.

Great Hotel and will be back!

I was putting together a one night get away for my fiance and I. We both work and are very busy so I said let me find a hotel in the city and we could meet there after work. The room was very quiet (we asked for a inside room rather than street side). Internet worked perfectly for taking care of a little business. It was a couple block walk to Union square for dinner and shopping. Very nice hotel! There is one negative though. Prking was on the pricy side and because we met there we had two cars and was twice the fee... It won't stop us from comming back we will just plan better for the parking issue. The bottom line is the fiance was hapy so I was happy!

great all-around experience

The staff was warm and accommodating. The wine reception and coffee in the morning was a plus, and the location was convenient to all that we were doing.

Great room for your money

Great room for your money, but front desk needs improvements. I ask the gentleman that worked the front desk to please bring an extra cot three times, I felt like he was ignoring me on purpose. I had to be transferred to manager just to ask for a simple request. I only stayed 2 nights, but hotels service wasn't the greatest. I would rate it a 2.5 or 3 and rate the room a 4. (Room was very nice...definitely check out their Fifth Floor Lounge!)
