Great Customer Service/Staff, Good Experience

First time at this hotel. Staff was great and very accomodating. Extremely Kid Friendly. They brought a Gold Fish into our room:-) The rooms were beautifully decorated, the wine hour was great along with the beautiful lounge. I can't say enough how friendly the staff were! Everyone from the doorman, front desk, to the maids always greeted us with a genuine smile.
- Pros: Excellent Customer Service, Free Wine & Massages at 5PM!
- Cons: Didn't like the neighborhood, scary people everywhere.
Colorful boutique hotel mixes sumptuous decor, romantic touches and fine amenities.

In Short
The decor at this quaint hotel is plush and whimsical, with vibrant colors and rich textiles. Guests start the day with complimentary coffee service and unwind with an afternoon wine reception. Guest rooms have a romantic feel, with soft, velvety furnishings and luxury amenities like CD stereos, terry-cloth robes, fully stocked honor bars and Aveda bath products. For business travelers, accommodations include two-line phones with data ports, in-room fax machines, shoe shine, laundry services and complimentary newspapers.

Beautiful, fun, colorful art deco decor in lobby and rooms. Excellent staff - very friendly and on-the-ball. Free wine and cheese and tarot-card readings in lobby every night was a treat. Rooms were nicely decorated with canopy beds, When we first went to our room we heard barking dogs everywhere and learned we were on the "pet friendly" floor. They promptly moved us to another floor, no problem. I like the hotel's location - you can walk to everything, including some funky cafes and restaurants nearby. My only complaints: the price (we paid $170/night) and the size of the rooms were very small BUT that's what one should expect from most SF hotels.
so so hotel, so so location

the hotel itself is ok. The decor is a charming early 20th century attempt. The bar area is nice. But it's not very wow, and the location borders on scary-literally. Union Square is a pit in my estimation, and this is on the edge of Union Square and skid row.
- Pros: not terrible
- Cons: not great

This hotel is art deco style and in the heart of Union Square, just steps from all the shopping and dining. You can walk anywhere you need to go and if you want to go to the wharf or Chinatown, you can catch the trolley or bus. The hotel has an excellent restaraunt and bar and offers wine and appetizers in the evening for free. The concierge was wonderful and full of ideas on what to do. We would stay here again.

Hotel Monaco in San Francisco is one of my favorite hotels in the city. The rooms are quaint with lush pillows in rich fabric and vibrant paintings. The service is excellent and is located in the heart of downtown. The loveliness and shabby-chicnesss is what makes this hotel stand out from the second rate, overpriced counterparts. Reservations can be made online and it is advisable to book in advance, especially during the summer. A wonderful place to stay when enjoying a fabulous city.
PROS: Darling rooms
CONS:

One of the top hotels in San Francisco located near the theatres. Great customer service with great food and very nice rooms but very pricey. Recommend to everyone that can afford it.
Beautiful Spot

Just returned from two fantastic nights at the Monaco! The Suite we were in was on the sixth floor and was very spacious for San Francisco standards and the Jacuzzi tub was HUGE!!! Fits two easily. The decor is beautiful. The free wine hour starting at 5 pm is a perfect time and place to unwind from a busy day sightseeing. The location is good (two blocks from Union Square and Cable Cars). Staff is Over the Top great. Name recognition almost scary. Will return for sure.
- Pros: Staff, Rooms, Location
Pleasantly surprised

From decor to dining to the service....this hotel is unexpected and wonderful! So good that I would rather keep it a secret. We stayed as a family of 6 and the suite was cozy and beautiful. Its within a short walk to Union Square and the the views on the city busy street kept my son entertained. There are romantic window seats and canopies atop your bed and a whirling tub to keep you happy. And the BEST part is that the room was internet ready with a T1 connection. Even the valet guys had great outfits!
