Hilton San Francisco, San Francisco

Ugh, well, the hotel has a great location downtown, but I have to agree with other people who have reviewed this hotel....it sucks. For a downtown hotel to offer such crappy service and rooms and for it to claim it's a 4 star hotel....riiiigh. I won't be staying here ever again that's for sure.

My room was well sized but the damn elevators kept me up *all* night. It was insane! The walls must be paper thin or something since I wasn't even the closest room to the elevator shafts. Gah.

The beds were ok, but sleeping on them was nearly impossible due to the constant and I do mean all night long constant noise.

I complained to the front desk and was pretty much ignored. Niiiice. Glad it didn't cost too much to stay here or I'd have pee'd on the carpet or something.

It's extreme suckage.

	Hilton San Francisco: Are you sure I'm not in Vegas? Tip Rating: Satisfaction:

Updated By Sunshine64

on November 5, 2003

The first time I arrived at the Hilton San Francisco on a Tuesday evening the HUGE lobby was filled with people, many dressed for an evening out. It was a loud, busy place. That, coupled with the giant chandiliers and the fact that there are 3 "towers" in the hotel reminded me a bit of a hotel in Vegas.

I have visited this hotel on several occasions, and each time my experience has improved. The last two times I have gotten a room in the newly remodeled "executive" tower, which is quite nice.

The "Executive Lounge" on the 45th floor has a great view, as, apparently, does the restaurant on the 46th floor.

The hotel's spa includes probably the best hotel gym I've visited - and I've visited a lot of them. Each piece of cardio equipment has a small, flat-screen TV attached and a place to plug in your headphones.

View from the Hilton Hotel

A beautiful hotel on O'Farrell street 2 blocks from Union Square.

Citiscape Restaurant is on the top floor (46th floor). Not an inexpensive restaurant but a beautiful view.
A superb Sunday Brunch but too pricey ($46 per person). We skipped it :-)

Big convention hotels are usually not my style -- I prefer small hotels with personalized service. But I stayed at the Hilton San Francisco as part of my sister-in-law's birthday celebration and found it interesting, a change of pace. I enjoyed sitting in the chandeliered lobby and watching the people go by.

The room was comfortable and tasteful but smaller than I would have expected for $159 per night.

The Hilton offers a spa, swimming pool, and exercise room, although I didn't have a chance to check them out. The bar on the top floor has an amazing view of the city, absolutely gorgeous at night, but was so crowded that we weren't able to find a seat. We had to be content with walking through, ooh-ing and ah-ing at the cityscape, and taking the elevator back down.

	Hilton San Francisco: A great option near Union Square Tip Rating: Satisfaction:

Impressive hotel with small but nice rooms.

While traveling to San Jose we stopped at San Francisco for one night, we got the best rate by calling 1800HILTONS (145+TAX during holidays) as the rate at the front desk was too high (350+TAX)

We came back from San Jose and stopped for three nights but the rate duplicated in less than a weekend so we went to the new Hilton Financial District which was cheaper (130+TAX), well located and with bigger rooms.

Do not walk opposed to Union Square at night as it is a high crime area right across the hotel's street. You'll see lots of people selling drugs, massage shops, prostitutes walking by. Be careful.

Located 4 blocks away from Union Square. Hilton quality but small rooms.

	Hilton San Francisco: Huge Towers Downtown Tip Rating: Satisfaction:

By eleanorbueza

I stayed at the Hilton-San Francisco on my first night in the city. I thought it had an over-the-top lobby, valet parking was extremely expensive, the rooms were blah (flowery bedding), the bathrooms small, and the room didn't even provide guests with robes or slippers to use. I think management has something to learn from the Langham Hilton in London.

This hotel is gi-normous. It has several restaurants, bars, pools, etc. to choose from, but given the limited time spent inside the hotel, I could not use the amenities/facilities. Walking from the lift to your room takes approximately 10 minutes, which can really take a toll on your daily set-off time.

You can sometimes find good deals on weekends here around $125/night.

Located a few blocks from Union Square, the Hilton San Francisco is near many art galleries, theaters and some of the best shopping in San Francisco. Also, this hotel underwent a major renovation in the late 1990s so its real nice place to stay...very polished. Finally, there is a great Irish Pub just up the street, Johnny Foleys...

	Hilton San Francisco: The Hilton is actually on the... Tip Rating:

By Skylink

on August 26, 2002

The Hilton is actually on the edge of a higher crime rate area. See my warning section because there are some motels in bad neighborhoods. There are some motels south of Mission Street but I don't know why anyone would want to stay there. As far as where good to stay, there are some motels on Lombard Street that have reasonably good parking. There are buses 1 block away on Chestnut Street for those not renting a car. Chestnut Street is actually an expensive neighborhood even though the houses are not very big.

I stayed here for a conference during May 2005 and had a great time. Although the hotel is huge the staff are v friendly.

If you are leaving on an afternoon or evening you can request a late checkout which means you can do some sightseeing in the morning and then come back to your room to change or have a shower before leaving.

Also we found that getting a hotel car (sedan) from the hotel was just as cheap if not cheaper than a taxi!! It also has more style!

The rooftop restaurant has fabulous views over the city. Make sure you have a drink and admire the view
