Great view but not on par with the competition. We recently spent the weekend at the SF Mandarin Oriental. While the view and room were very nice the room service, food, and overall experience was not on par with other 5 star locations like the Ritz Carlton or St. Regis. If there were a rating for room service food I would have to give it a 1 star. I've had better food at low end hotels. The front desk staff was cordial but cold. We actually had to dig at them to get details on the package we purchased for our stay. If all you're looking for is view and quiet, this is your place. If however you want the total 5 star experience you're better off going to the Ritz Carlton in SF or Half Moon Bay.

An elegant teatime amid the Financial District's concrete hustle.. In Short
Tea is served at couches fitted into window alcoves in a comfortable area just off the main lobby, replete with glossy wooden tables and well-placed floral arrangements. Unique Asian-style teas are augmented with a bento box filled with seasonal choices that can include Mandarin canapes, chicken spring rolls and maki rolls. An assortment of fine confections is also included.
