Rough Guide
"The most famous of Nob Hill’s landmark hotels... fantastic views from the rooms."
Michelin Guide
"This queen of the city retains a traditional charm."
Concierge
"Rooms... in the original building have high ceilings and a rich sense of place, but not all have views; rooms in the vintage-1961 tower have jaw-dropping vistas yet feel more generic."
Fodor's
"Amenities and special services (including... a newly crafted Intersect Media Lounge complete with multiplayer Guitar Hero and Wii Golf) keep loyal guests coming back." Full review

Rough Guide
"This hotel goes above and beyond standard chain lodging, making it one of the best accommodation values in San Francisco."
Star Service
"Located at Jones, next door to the more stylish, superior Adagio, once the Savoy, this moderately attractive traditional hotel has more pizzazz than most Best Westerns, but it is still a Best Western." Full review
Gayot
"Housed in a 1913 building in the heart of San Francisco's theater district, this hotel offers personal touches like free tequila shots at check-in and complimentary wine and cheese receptions."
Lonely Planet
"This bay-windowed, vintage-1920s hotel has small rooms and sometimes-thin walls, but cheery yellow paint jobs, fluffy beds and double-pane windows that generally block street noise."
