Michelin Guide
"This delightful hotel shares a highly individual and warm, hospitable spirit with all its guests; one also feels like it has a past because it does."

"Still retains its Victorian style in the lobby with marble floors, wrought-iron banisters, and rich wood paneling." Full review
Time Out
"A gem of a newly renovated hotel. A distinguished-looking Victorian lobby leads up to spruced-up, modern rooms that are not large, but chic and comfortable, with clever use of space." Full review
Gayot
"The Mosser's claim to fame is simple: It is the only hotel in San Francisco that has a state-of-the-art recording studio on the premises."

"Can’t afford the W or Clift, but would much rather go the IKEA route than suffer quilted floral spreads? The Mosser is the answer."

Frommer's
"This quaint hotel is a spectacular deal...the rooms are tiny and the en suite showers are about 3 square feet. Rates get lower if you opt to use a shared bathroom" Full review

Rough Guide
"South of Market highrise outpost of the pricey hotel chain that thinks it’s a nightclub."
Michelin Guide
"The 'W' doesn't really stand for wonderful, witty, or wow, but all perfectly sum up the style of this corporateloving hotel."
Frommer's
"As modern and hip as its fashionable clientele, this 31-story property suits its neighbors, which include the Museum of Modern Art, the Moscone Center, and the Metreon entertainment center." Full review
Concierge
"The San Francisco outpost of the W hotel chain is popular with conventioneers for its proximity to the nearby Moscone Center... But the hotel is comfortable as well as trendy."
Fodor's
"The epitome of cool urban chic... this swanky 31-story Starwood hotel owes some of its cachet to a prime location next door to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art." Full review
i
Fragrances waft throughout the hotel and guest rooms, so sensitive noses should call ahead to request special preparations.
Time Out
"This trailblazing, chic and ever-so-slightly snooty urban hotel chain continues to expand around the country, but it hasn't yet reached the point at which hip and fashionable turns to yesterday's thing." Full review
Star Service
"Monday through Friday this hotel is all about business, but come Friday the energy is fun and frivolous.

Gayot
"Given the sophisticated and modernist decor of this SoMa property, it's fitting that the hotel is located adjacent to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art."
BlackBook
"Sleekly appointed hotel has co-opted the concept of yuppie Wonderland. Three-story octagonal glass entrance leads straight to the lobby bar (brilliant)."

""If you're looking for a place to party", this "popular", "stylish" SoMa chain boutique is a "fun" "favorite", with "chic", "gorgeous" quarters."
