Beautiful hotel, great location - Just a few things I would change
My husband and I recently travelled across stunning California for two weeks and stayed at the Fairmont hotel for 3 nights while we were staying in San Francisco. The historic hotel building is just beautiful and centrally located in Nob Hill and right on the cable car lines. Which are a blast to ride and a great way to get around and see this gorgeous city. At check in, they asked if we would like to be upgraded to a Suite for a fee. The hotel seemed to be full and they charged us $50.00 a night for the upgrade to the Luxembourg Suite. In hindsight and when speaking with friends who travel extensively, I personally think we should have NOT paid for such an upgrade. With all the excitement of arriving in San Francisco it was our fault to agree to pay for the upgrade. We did however really enjoy the suite and hotel. The Lobby is just stuninng and we had a super time at the Tonga Room. Great atmosphere and band. A big thanks also to youre wonderful Sommelier from Quebec, Canada (I am sorry I forgot his name) at the Tonga. We really enjoyed his service and conversation. Was nice to see someone from home. 
The few things I did not like/or would change at the hotel: I personally thought the bathroom in the suite was rather small and looking somewhat tired and needed to be refreshed. And the bed was too soft on one side. Time for a new matress. The linen was really nice though. The room did have nice views over looking the front/valet of the hotel and it the room had a nice big layout. I also strongly suggest you have some coffee machines put in the room. Thankfully for your lovely coffee shop where I could go down and pick up a nice cup of coffee and some delicious crossiants. But it would have been so much nicer to just stay in my room and make my own coffee. Paying room service for filter coffee and a 5$ delivery charge is way to pricey and not how I want to start my morning. I also did not like that I had to pay for the wireless. I was very suprised by this, as I did not have to pay for wireless anywhere in all the hotels during my 2 week stay across California. Your Operator was helpful and advised that if I join your President club, I could have the wireless fee waived. So I had to pay to get on the net and then open an account in your president club and then call him back and then he waived the price. It was quite a hassle and I just don’t understand for the price one pays at the Fairmont why wireless would not be included in the room. The valet parking is very pricey (only parking available as well) is $54 per night. We ended up returning our rental car early to the aiport as there is no need for a car in San Francisco and we did not want to pay the hefty $54.00 a night. 
Overall, I enjoyed my stay in San Francisco very much. Beautiful city and the Fairmont is very beautiful indeed. Great history, location and lobby. I would stay again but I would look for special offers when booking.
