    $15 glass of red wine... That is all. Oh, and beautiful ballrooms.

    Your room adjacent to an elevator? Don't unpack your bags. Head straight down to front desk and get another room. Those series of rooms should be converted into utility closets. Too. Damn. Loud.

    Ask the staff to show you the Prohibition Room off one of the elevators. ;-)

    Adjacent rooms separated by a door are paper thin. If the tv is on too loud, you'll hear it.

    God help you if you have a room next to an east coast'er on conference calls from 4am onward. Paper thin walls.

    Michael (the night manager) is the most friendly and knowledgeable hotel employee ever.

    Watch out from connected rooms, you can hear EVERYTHING that happens in the next room and they can hear you!

    Rooms are small and not well kept. Gaudy design and outfits on the staff. Not up to Kimpton standards.

    Not the best hotel but decent. Bathrooms are extremely small and provided shampoo smells weird. Take advantage of the conservation program and get a $10 voucher for the hotel restaurants and bars.

    Ask for Chelsea at the Bar Drake and have her make you a lava or grasshopper. Life changing.

    when you check in here, if your room # ends in 07 ask for another room! the 07 rooms are very tiny barely space to get past the bed.

    Una muy buena opción de hotel por que esta a una cuadra de Union Square que esta lleno de tiendas ademas enfrente esta el cable car que te lleva a Lombard Street o Fishermans Wharf.

    Nelson es genial, y los mozos del restorán son atentos y simpáticos. Muy buenos desayunos. Prueben la sopa del día. Ojo c/el programa "choose to conserve": deja sin trabajo a las camareras
