What A Shame!
My partner & I stayed at the Vintage Court in San Francisco for 5 nts 16 to 21/06/12, Four nights too many. With more attention to detail it could have been a much nicer stay!
On the up-side: Friendy staff. Fantastic location, at 60 we managed all of the hills from Fishermans Wharf back to the hotel & Union Square. A 'Must Do' catch a City Tour open top bus, get a 24hr ticket, buy it after mid-day so you can use it both days & wrap up warm for the Bridge! We cought it on the 1st afternoon, it was really hot in downtown SF, by the time we arrived at the Golden Gate Bridge we had to get off as it was so cold, on the next day we went wrapped up for winter - we were so pleased we had! Th bed was comfortable. We managed to get to the wine tasting twice, nice touch.
On the down-side: The room was very small dark and gloomy with a bad drain smell. This hotel is in need a good refurb!
We had supplied our own drinks, green tea & coffee BUT there wasn't a kettle to boil the water! Only paper cups, so we had to buy 2 mugs and heat water in a coffee maker which didn't boil the water.
We used nothing from the mini bar, we ONLY used straws from our complimentary sachets to stir our drinks, made from hotish water from the coffee maker!
On checking out we advised the front dest that we had not had anything from the room that needed to be paid for. Then on checking our Credit Card Statement after arriving home we found we had been charged over US$8.00! For what? I have emailed the hotel about the extra charge and asking them to refund - but they chose to ignore my email! How many other guests have they overcharged that don't even notice! So be warned...
