Westin - Been there, done that...
We stayed at a Westin in Boston earlier in the month, so it was ironic we were booked in the famous St. Francis (Westin) in San Francisco for a weekend wedding. Same story, older hotel in a great location with Westin service. Completely predictable - made more so by the silly mistake of asking for a traditional room in the old wing. I thought this would be romantic, or something. It was only reminiscient of our experience in Boston. The room was small with limited amenities, i.e. 1 chair and a desk with minimal electric outlets for computers etc.. We had to move the coffee maker to the desk since there was no electric hook-up on the minibar stand. Of course, they did not replace the tea bags we used on arrival so we only needed it for one day, anyway. The closet door opened 1/2 way before banging into the beside table so this was not a frequent stop. They must know there are only 2 bureau drawers, so they provide 2 luggage stands knowing you will need to use suitcases for storage. Not easy in a samall room. Good news in this room - the bathroom door opened out, into the room, making it possible for 2 people to stand in the bathroom at the same time, as long as one was in the shower. 
Service in the hotel was once again very pleasant. The Westin people are well trained and seemingly happy. However, the stress from such a large facilitiy was once again obvious and you simply need to show patience if there are any special requests. For example, do not bother with a busboy to take or retrieve luggage to your room. The elevators in the main building are inadequate, mainly because only 2 of the 3 were ever operating at the same time. We did not eat or drink in the hotel so do not have any comments on the F&B. 
$299/night seems high for the quality we received, but the hotel is located smack in the middle of a great city. I guess in this case, you pay for what you get!
