Reviews for Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel

Why Trip Advisor

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 18 hours ago

This hotel is way past its prime. Historic but tired and poorly kept. Has potential but when you see artificial plants in that magnificent lobby……We decided to switch within hours of being there. Not sure why Trip gave it such an endorsement.

Great room! Skip the food.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 23 hours ago

Great room! Clean and incredibly comfy bed. I’m a bit of a princess and the pea type (you know the ones) and the king bed was incredible. Don’t miss out on the drinks and small bites at the Starlite rooftop bar. Skip the included breakfast and food at the hotel restaurant “The Post Room”. So much great food in the area, don’t waste time or money there.

Mediocre stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

Our stay at the Beacon Grand was mediocre. Staff were nice enough and the lobby was beautiful. However, I expected more cleanliness given the four star hotel status and the price we were paying. Several “clean” towels had stains on them and the bathtub was clogged so the water drained very slowly. Our room was never serviced/refreshed during our stay while we were out. On one of the days, we stopped by our hotel mid day and ran into one of the housekeepers walking out of our room but not having serviced it. They apologized saying that they weren’t able to service due to so many rooms they needed to get to. Overall, the stay was underwhelming. The pros were the location and how close the nearest transit access was.

They try really hard

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

The atmosphere, building, service and bars were excellent; however, when your toilet doesn't work, all of that doesn't matter.
