Best Western Hotel California - San Francisco

Great hotel if you don't mind the noise of the party crowd

The staff was great... the location was perfect. Could walk to lots of places and cabs were easy to get. My bed and pillows were so comfy. My home away from home for the week. I'd stay there again. They had wine and cheese in the evening and a work-out room.

nice place but a bit noisy.

It was great that we could check in early - the hotel was ok but the area was not the best. No AC in the room. Overall good exerience.

This hotel is a full two city blocks from Union Square. I have stayed at several hotels closer to Union Square that were much nicer and cleaner and that cost less. This hotel is overpriced. The rooms are old and stained. The guest services were poor.

It's true, you're offered a free chilled shot of tequila at check-in! The desk employee was very friendly and check in was very smooth. The room, like you would expect in a city, is smallish. For two people, a queen room is fine. Flat screen wall-mounted tv is nice. Bathroom is nice but water pressure was very, very low. I'd definitely stay here again […] if I'm on a budget!

When I check into a hotel and they give me a chilled shot of tequila at check in, I say Hallelujah!!! Then free wine and cheese at 5:00 in the mezzinine, free delicious breakfast in the restaraunt, and the valet parking is $20 cheaper than everywhere else in town, loved it!!! The staff was courteous, and it had a cool hippy vibe with great artwork. Not […] for people who like huge ultra modern beige Hiton-like structures. Right in Union Square area. Thank you LLoyd and Samuel. Also reasonably priced!!! További részletek

You list free parking on your site (Hotels.com) and it isn't true. I complained at the front desk and they tell me they have been asking you to remove that for months. Get you act together. 3 days parking = $100.00

Although the breakfast is included, it is horrible that the content never changes every morning (within our five days stay). In the 7th floor, the water pressure is not strong that you cannot enjoy a comfortable shower. The locus is good and gym is free. Overall is not bed.

I have stayed here many times and enjoy the layout, location, and the 4 star people that run it. The one thing to watch out for is that it is right on Geary street so don't expect a quite nights sleep!

seriously in need of a demo and re-do

Great location just 2 blocks from Union Square. Perfect during busy JP Morgan Conference at very reasonable rates.

There were two major problems with the hotel which iverwhelmed the convenient location: (1) Street noise - made sleep extremely difficult ad room insulation did nothing, (2) Rooms need upgrading - paint peeling, window coverings ... - all show signs of needing work!

Two bedroom suite was perfect for four of us but would not have worked if the five people booked in that room had all come! Clean, with friendly people, typical mediocre free breakfast but lots of places nearby to find outstanding meals.

Hotel not recommended,lobby and rooms are very very very very old and bad smells everywhere. Attention: unrealistic picture on the site. I stayed one night only and then we go away immediately. esperience bad.

It is a cute hotel with lots of history. Great breakfast and wonderful staff. The rooms, especially bathrooms could clearly benefit from a touch up.

Excellent! Close to everything, great value, clean, quiet, perfect for our needs.

The firstthing that you notice is the very musty and old smell of the hotel. The staff said "well, the hotel is over 100 years old. The room was like a closet. No table, one chair, old towels that had seen better days. Breakfast buffet was good. Concierge service was excellent in setting up tours and bus service. Location was central to sights, TV set […] onmly had very limited selection of channels, beds were comfrotable although mattress sagged terribley towards center. I would not stay there again especially since their rates werenot inexpensive as compared to more modern hotels in the area. További részletek

Near Union Square, we loved the location. It was an easy walk to great shopping and restaurants. The room was adorable. There was a very nice breakfast in the morning as well. It felt like old-time San Francisco. We had a great time.

We had a great time in San Francisco and the Hotel California was the perfect location in Downtown., Rooms were small but clean and great atmosphere., The Hotel is a beautiful old building with loads of character. We will stay again in San Francisco and would recomend to others.

Great location close to all the action and cruise terminals Really enjoyed the ambience,and the wine and cheese!

Everything about this hotel was excellent for the price...location, cleanliness, continental breakfast, employees' attitude. The elevator was out of order for most of my 2-night stay, which could have been a problem for people who aren't able climb stairs. I would hope that it would be permanently fixed or replaced before too long.

staff was wonderful--room adequate---location was convenient but if you are a light sleeper, there were clubs right on the street below and were jumping until the wee hours, so sleep can be compromised..there are many hotels in the same area that may be a little less noisey.

Ask for a room with natural light, because tou can get one with the view of the neighbor drinking and watching tv.

My husband and I just spent four nights at the Hotel California. This hotel is very charming. Yes, the rooms are small. Yes, it's a little shabby. But if you like heritage buildings and appreciate the history, you will love this hotel.

A great hotel with many extras. Great breakfast every morning as well as a manager's wine reception every evening. Friendly staff and just a 5 minute walk from union square.

We stayed at the hotel California for 4 nights at the end of September. The check in process was easy and convenient. The hotel is located only a few blocks from union square which was very convenient. However, as a result there are many homeless individuals surrounding the hotel and it is surrounded by neighborhoods which we found to be somewhat unsafe. […] We stayed in a standard room which was incredibly small -- even for a boutique hotel. There was barely enough room to lay a suitcases on the floor and still have room to walk to the bathroom. The safe in the room was also broken. When we informed the front desk of the safe we were informed that almost all the in-room safes were broken. They did however allow us to lock up our valuables and passports at the front desk free of charge. The other major issue was that the toilet in our room was nearly broken -- the rocked back and forth when you sat on it! Unbelievable! On the plus side, they do offer free Wi-Fi and there is also a computer for public use. Overall, although there were some okay features about this hotel the cons outweigh the pros and I would not stay there again. További részletek

Not a bad place. Good location, reasonable breakfast and free internet. Room fine but too hot and advertised extra fan not available. Water will not stay in bath., alarm clock not working. Because it was a warm few days lack of air con was a problem for us.

They told us that after we got the car in the garage and the bags in the room we should return to the check-in for our complementary shot of Tequila. There was wine and cheese at 4 and complementary breakfast. The rooms have sayings on the wall and a "mural" around the ceiling fan. It is 2 1/2 blocks from Union Square. Don't walk straight ahead into […] the Tenderloin. There is an outdoor club that was noisey at night. Service was friendly and very helpful and the location was outstanding. További részletek

The hotel is very old and there is no air conditioning. There is a bar across the street that is very noisy until 2AM. Also valet service for hotel lost my car for several hours and initially tried to state that I checked in without a vehicle. Horrible stay do not stay here.

Great atmosphere. Terrific staff. Really terrific staff. but nothing can make up for the street noise, bar noise, and hall noise when you need a good nights sleep. Small room, Nice effort at preservation. Ceiling fan rattled. Free welcome tequila made up for their well-noted, slug-like elevator. It;s just the noise that drove me to sleeping pills

Room was very clean. Decore was appropriate for San Francisco. Rooms were small but very clean. View was not good. Hotel was within walking distance of the start/finish of the SF Marathon.

Pluses: An easy 10 minute walk from all the major public transit, a good collection of food choices nearby, lots of character, Tequila shots on check-in, decent if crowded free breakfast, very helpful staff. Minuses: The internet service is the worst I've ever encountered, worse than the old days of dialup. The elevator only holds 4, so get used to […] waiting for one or use the stairs. Valet parking is right on a busy street, we had a taxi clip the corner of our car pulling out. További részletek

Well placed hotel for visiting San Francisco however could do with some upgrading to public areas ie bar and lobby. Breakfast is a bit disorganised and cramped. Rooms are small but reasonable, ideal for shorter stays.

We were thrilled to stay at Hotel California, it bought to mind lots of great songs of our era. Great location walking distance to Union Square and all the great shopping and cable car routes. Love it.
