Reviews for Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel
A great place to stay
Absolutely beautiful place, great restaurant and a great location for a stay in San Francisco. Would definitely stay here again.

There are better options in SF
Not worth it. The "Grand King Room" was small, cramped, and everything felt dated. So small that you can't open the room door if the bathroom door is closed! Stayed for three nights and received no housekeeping visit until I finally complained on the evening of the third day. There are better options in SF.

Take a Step Up
Leif Adams, customer Relationship Manager, runs a great hotel program. Staff are well trained and focused on your satisfaction. From the front door with Trey, to Bree's at the front desk and Feng the housekeeper you are treated special. Jason runs the restaurant with a great team. William and Mary in the morning for breakfast make sure you are well fed. Aston in the evening makes you a special treat. What this all means is that the owners care and have invested $40 M in this facility and its run correctly. Enjoy your time in SF at the right spot.

The hotel is absolutely beautiful. It exceeded all of our expectations. The staff was always pleasant and helpful whenever we asked questions. I would most definitely stay here again.

SF botique hotel always exceptional
I stayed at the Beacon Grand for 21 days and the service was excellent. Front desk, hospitality, housekeeping and the bartenders in the Post room exceptional. I can't rave enough about this hotel.
