Reviews for Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel
MY FAVORITE PLACE IN SAN FRANCISCO
My first stay, I felt comfortable and truly welcomed from the start with the staff helping me with my timing problem. The room was perfect, the dining room has a simple well-priced lunch menu. Service was fast in the evening as well. I would say quietly efficient and friendly overall. Thank you for your support for Bastille Day celebrations. I now have a favorite place in San Francisco.

Epic charm meets modern comfort
It's rare to find a hotel that can strike the perfect balance between vintage charm and modern amenities. In fact, I think we've always had to choose one or the other when we come to SF (and we come a lot!). Beacon Grand was the first hotel that balanced both beautifully. We will certainly be back again. one thing, house keeping never came during our stay (and yes, we made sure to take our DND sign off the door handle). We recognize that times are hard right now and many people are experiencing short staffing so we figured it was that. We just really love/appreciate coming back to a nice clean room and a freshly made bed when we are traveling! So that was a tiny bummer. But otherwise it was a truly incredible stay and we can't wait to visit again.

Great vist to SF started at the Beacon Grand!
Great stay. Angelo, and Anson were stand outs that made our trip and stay enjoyable. Amazing hotel with great rooms, food, drinks, and staff.

NOT QUIET
Whilst it had a grand reception, i had to change rooms 3 times. The first room, floor 12, the room was way to small (you would not be able to open a suitcase in it), the second room was on floor 19, which although more spacious was very loud as they have a bar that’s open till 2am on the 21st floor, if you are sensitive to noise it is not suitable as there are very obvious thuds. I was then moved to floor 17, which was not much better, you could still hear the thuds only just a tiny bit quieter. In general the rooms are standard but not sound proof in the slightest (you can hear coughs from next door, city noises etc.).
