Better than Expected!

I must admit, when we saw the exterior of the Hilton, we were a little put off by its drab concrete facade, but it's beautiful on the inside! They remodeled the building a few years ago and did a fantastic job! It feels like a brand new hotel. We were in San Francisco for the San Francisco Marathon. The Hilton is only 3/4 a mile away from the Marathon Start line. My husband also used the Hilton's fitness center on the days leading up to the Marathon and said it was really nice. We booked really far in advance and got a room under $100, which was perfect! We couldn't believe we found such a great deal! They did give us a room on the corner with a smaller window, but we didn't care because we got such a great deal. We had a great view of Telegraph Hill and Alcatraz. We could hear street noise, but that's expected for a hotel in the heart of downtown San Francisco. If you want to mask the street noise, just turn on the fan on the thermostat. It works like a charm! We had breakfast at the hotel one morning when we were in a hurry and it's extremely over priced! Venture out into the city for breakfast... Mama's, Cafe Divine, or Sears are a couple recommendations and within walking distance of the hotel. The Hilton is in a prime location, within walking distance of almost everything... China Town, Cable Cars, Embarcadero, restaurants, etc. The room was nicely appointed, the hotel was really clean, the staff was personable. All in all, it's a great hotel !!! We would stay again.

I was happy with the service my parents got from the HIlton on Kearney St. San Francisco, they said thats where they want to stay from now on when they visit SF.The front desk staff are friendly, hospitable, and rooms were extremely clean.The concierge and the food at the restaurant was great, conveniently located downtown, and had great night life. A new wine bar inside the lobby, next to one of my favorite spa's Tru.

• Pros: Staff, rooms, wine bar, restaurant, location

stayed here last christmas. the room was small . bed was comfortably soft. all you can see from your window are buildings since it is located in the financial district. nice location though because it is near chinatown. breakfast buffet was good. nothing fancy abt the room. too simple. courteous staff. clean hotel.

• Pros: comfortable bed, near chinatown
• Cons: small rooms
