Solid renovationn, nice place!
Lovely renovation of the old Francis Drake hotel. Very comfortable and pleasant. Great breakfast (it's extra, just FYI) at the Salon Room; nice, small gym; very pleasant folks.

Great hotel, noisy rooms
Great building, location, lobby and restaurant. The rooms have paper thin walls tho. Expect to hear a lot of adjacent room conversations.

Exceeded every expectation - we can't wait to go back!
Our stay was absolutely fabulous from start to finish! The hotel itself was beyond expectations — absolutely gorgeous. Our room was the perfect size, beautifully appointed, and so comfortable. Everything about our stay was above and beyond, and we will definitely be back! A special shoutout to the lady who checked us in on Thursday afternoon (11/6) — she was THE BEST. So kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. I mentioned that I have anxiety and panic attacks and prefer to avoid elevators after being stuck in one before. She was so understanding and empathetic, even trying to find us a room on a lower floor. When that wasn’t possible, she went out of her way to make me feel at ease, reassuring me that everyone has their own anxieties and that she completely understood. And then — to top it off — she brought us four drink vouchers for the bar as a kind gesture since she couldn’t move our room. What incredible customer service! Experiences like this are rare, and her thoughtfulness truly made our stay unforgettable.
