Loved The Hotel
This is a beautiful hotel in a great location. We were greeted by friendly staff with apologies for renos. Our flight was an early one but our room was ready for us and we checked in 3 hours early. Room was huge - everything new and done very nicely. At check in they told us they would send up extra towels which arrived immediately, we called for ice several times and it was extremely fast service. Housekeeping was great - no noise from construction in room. Yes, there was a temp lobby but it certainly served the purpose. All the construction guys were very personable and very accomodating to all the guests. The construction worker running the elevator was fun to talk to several times a day - very positive attitude for someone having to work 7 days a week dealing with some very snobbish European travellers. The Starbucks coffee in the lobby was a nice touch. Yes, there are lots of homeless people on Geary St near the hotel but you will find this in all the tourist areas of SF. This is a great city and the Hotel Adagio is great now and getting better with this huge reno. We checked out of the new lobby which is beautiful. For all those bitter about their stay here - you are on vacation - relax and enjoy the people - go with the flow and you will probably be a lot happier. We will go back for sure!! Another great trip to San Francisco - this one with our two adult daughters who were also very happy with the hotel.
