Memorable five days
My husband was at a convention at the hotel for 3 days and since we love San Francisco so much (been there several times) I decided to tag along and we extended our trip so my husband could have some time in the city as well. Never been to this hotel before (mostly expense driven) We had a standard room which served our needs perfectly. We were originally given a room on California St right across from the elevators. We knew that would not work so my husband requested a room change. We were quickly given a lovely room overlooking the back of the hotel. Nice and quiet with still some city views. We even went to the "Top of the Mark" twice for light dining (their word for bar menu) Even this was expensive but the views of the sunsets were worth it. My only comment would be that there is not somewhere to just get a light breakfast on the go. You have to eat at the Top of the Mark as that is the only eating place in the hotel (other than room service). While my husband was in the meetings I went across the street to the Cafe Centro (part of the Fairmont hotel) and got juice, yougurt and cereal. The Mark Hopkins does provide coffee in the lobby. Other than that the trip was wonderful and staff real helpful. You can not beat the location.
