Perfect location on Powell street. Rooms are small but perfect for small parties. If you refuse housekeeping service they give you vouchers you can use at restaurants. Stairs are inconvenient w/ bags
One of my fav places to stay in SF - Classic old hotel, fun quaint rooms, fantastic service, great access to local landmarks. Starlight Ballroom on top floor - Scala's restaurant is the best.
Grab a drink from the Drake bar on the way up to your room. Clean renovated rooms and bathrooms. Comfortable beds and pillows. Excellent room service. -- pick a city-view room on check in.
A beautifully crafted and presented hotel. Passionate and helpful staff, also an awesome, friendly beefeater helping you catch a cab. The restaurant below is top notch, and serves really good meals.
My room was a LOT smaller than shown on the web. The hotel was clean & inviting with great room service. The staff were knowledgeable & helpful. I’d go back if I knew for certain of the rooms size.
The hotel is contemporary yet has an air of elegant vintage. Awesome staff. Pet friendly! And uber central to Union square. The rooms are smaller in sq feet but hey that cannot be altered.
Two words: Wine hour. :) and they do it a little differently from other Kimptons, with some small bites if you go early, and spiced cider for the winter season.
This is a very nice hotel, and in prime location. However in nature of union square I spent way too much money for a nightly rate and it was a quarter of the size.
Great, friendly concierge!! Rooms are nice & clean. Some are much smaller than others. Walls are VERY thin, could hear the people next to us constantly. Would stay here again.
Misleading room descriptions. Paid top $ for the "grand" (their highest class of room + view). Asked to be relocated immediately & were told we'd need to downgrade to get a view & have smaller beds.
The big red British beefeater in the lobby bar is a bit much for me. But the rooms are nice and location near union square good. Do breakfast at sears across street
Ornate and cool common areas. Rooms are small and windows are thin. 2 pillows per room and the bathrooms are extremely small. Max 2 people in this room. Free tea and coffee reception in the morning
Nice redo but the walls are paper thin. Can here the complete conversation of t couple in the room next to me in unfortunate detail. Didn’t spend too much time in my room so that was a plus.
New Year's Eve Extravangaza Party at Sir Francis Drake, San Francisco, CA, early @ Tuesday December 31 2013. Grab your tickets @ http://tinyurl.com/oyoro79
The Sir Francis Drake, a Kimpton Hotel is more than just a SF Union Square hotel. It is the perfect gateway to the city, just steps from the best shopping, world-class theaters, and California's best cuisine.
