10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful pleasure trip to SF and The Donatello. Room was comfortable and spacious. EXCELLENT shower and water pressure. Bathroom is rather small, but functional. The kitchenette had all the dishes and utensils we needed during our stay and we LOVED enjoying our coffee every morning on the Club Floor rooftop deck. An afternoon snack/drink hour on the club floor would have been a nice amenity to enjoy. Staff were so helpful and very welcoming. Never tried the onsite restaurant, but it smelled amazing and we enjoyed the happy hour specials. Filtered water available in the lobby area, along with a mini convenience shop with snacks and drinks. A great location with many restaurants, convenience stores, and other amenities nearby. Minutes from great shopping and food. Concierge gave great recommendations and was helpful in helping plan our visit. 10/10 service. 10/10 staff. 10/10 stay. We’ll definitely be back!
