old hotel in need of repair
Great location at the top of Nob Hill in San Francisco, but the hotel is so old in need of repair, serious repair. We stayed on the 7th floor overlooking Grace Cathedral and the Fairmont Hotel and Mark Hopkins hotels. But the room was so old that the chrome was falling off the crome shink handles. The toilet was so small we barely fit on the seat and I only weigh 160 pounds. The walls are so thin that when the apartment next to us came in at 10 pm we would clearly hear every word they said as if they were in our room just having a conversation. I told the front desk and they knew of the problems and said the hotel had just been sold and the new owners would address these problems. The consierge was busy on the phone and would not very helpful and did not know where a restaruant was located and gave us the wrong directions. The restuarant on site was wonderful and had wonderful breakfast. Breakfast for 2 came to $38.00 before the tip. The parking is $ 45.00 per night before a tip to the door man. The beds were nice, room had a refrigerator but no coffee maker and no coffee in the room. You have to go downstairs and buy a coffee for $5.00. The real plus for the hotel is the spa and indoor pool. Wonderful, but you need reservations and not sure of the costs. I would not return to this hotel unless they update the hotel and make it consistent with the other great hotels in San Francisco. It is way overpriced for what you receive. Stay at the Fairmont and Mark Hopkins just down the street if you want the Nob Hill experience and are willing to pay for the experience.
