Edmond HilhorstMarch 16, 2011Breakfast is very poor but redwood bar makes up for it. Cool place @ night.
Check out the 500 mercury wine from room service. Very nummy.
yerenis annetteAugust 17, 2010Stayed 4 nights here: walls were thin, you can hear the service elevator, the view is of a brick wall, doors slamming at all hours, customer service is LOUSY and horrible & beds r stiff! Not worth it!
No free wi-fi in rooms or lobby. No coffee maker in rooms. You've been warned. Redwood room is definitely a cool place to grab a drink. But, be on the lookout for dirty old men
Laura CNovember 17, 2011Elegant, modern and uber-designed, this Phillippe Starck designed hotel is one of the hippest places to stay. Have a drink at or just peek into the Redwood Room, a classic bar with redwood paneling
Bob Wan Qi KimFebruary 16, 2011Shhh... lobby wifi is not free unlesssss... you use the kimpton hotel wifi using the login jim@gmail ... via hackingtravel.com
AskMen tip about Redwood Room crowd being 'a little on the older side' is off: Guys may be a bit on the older side, but ladies with the older guys are often plenty young. Still, cool bar. #justsayin
You should stay here only if you want to hear base music pumping at 7:30am - well, more like constantly and around the clock...
It's full of prostitutes and terrible service. There is no good reason to come here.
Shawn KormondyOctober 3, 2010Its 11pm and room service said they don't serve hot food! How do you say "stay at the monaco across the street?"
Tim FallsMarch 4, 2012If bad service, nightclub lobby, bouncers harassing you when you try to enter, and paying ridiculous prices is your thing, then this is your place. #bad
Hugo MoralesJune 8, 2010Breakfasts are not-that-awesome, but it's OK. In this hotel is all about location.
John DempseyMarch 5, 2010This place feels so sleazy. Can a hotel think it's so hip it doesn't need to offer service or comfort? Apparently so.
John GordonMarch 23, 2013Really bad door staff. Rude & inconsiderate. Seem to think they are better than everybody else around them.
This is hands down one of the worst hotels I have stayed at in the Morgans group. Room walls are paper thin, staff is rude and unhelpful, bar breeds douches. Stay at hotel vitale instead.
Lindsay EyinkMarch 8, 2016The rooms feel like a 90s SF apartment my grandmother helped design. Bad curtains, old tiles, and a well-partied on carpet.
- yerenis annetteAugust 13, 2010600 dollar deposit put as a hold on your bank account?! Never again! Don't stay at this hotel if you plan to have them charge your bank account "as a hold."
toby boudreauxJune 14, 2009watch roaches chill in your room while the front desk does nothing to make it up to you.
RyanJanuary 26, 2011Don't forget to peek under the big chair in the lobby. Don't be shy, just get down on your hands and knees.
Il Team NeapolisbookFebruary 22, 2015Hotel dallo stile fortemente urban e contemporaneo. Qui siamo rimasti a lungo prima di trovare un alloggio definitivo.... da provare la Redwood Room. Incantatevi con lo sgabello di Renee Marguerite!

"Amazing interior-one incredibly stylish bar, all carved out of a single redwood oak tree. Truly one of the cooler places (so it's definitely not a secret) in SF."
