Not a great value
We just got back from our first trip to San Francisco and stayed at this hotel after doing a lot of research on area hotels. I would not choose this hotel next time at all. 
Upon arriving, I was shocked to see that the entire lobby that was shown on the website was not there! It was cordoned off as it was undergoing renovations. Every day of our stay was a different detour from the one working elevator as the workmen changed their location. The "lobby" during our stay was a conference room. Not exactly the welcoming scene with the fireplace and coziness I expected to see. How about a mention about the renovations on the website that touts the "ambiance" of this lobby so the guest can decide if they want to stay on a construction site ? Or do what other hotels do and reduce your room rate a few percent for the guest who arrives expecting what they were shown on the website?
 And why "two buck chuck" for the wine reception when you are so close to Napa? There must be another inexpensive wine option?
We stayed in a "renovated" room that was 300 sq. ft at best, tiny double beds, view of an alley, no screen on the window, and crappy mattresses and pillows. Hard to believe it's now a Kimpton property. I found I wasn't alone with my disappointment. I spoke with other guests who felt the same way.
The plus was a reduced fee for hybrid parking, only 29.00/night compared to 45.00/night for other cars, and a great restaurant next door called Cafe Pescatore. The location to Fisherman's wharf was nice, but the other hotels I looked into like Radisson and Sheraton were closer.
