Staying at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis was a fantastic experience, especially for business travelers. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of downtown, making it super convenient for meetings and exploring the city on foot. The facilities are top-notch—well-maintained, modern, and thoughtfully designed. I loved how clean and well-kept the rooms and common areas were; it really added to the comfort and peace of mind. One of the highlights? The variety of dining options right downstairs—whether you're craving a quick bite or a more relaxed meal, there's something for everyone. The only thing to note is the additional tax, but considering the prime location, excellent service, and overall quality, it’s absolutely worth it. If you're looking for a reliable, high-end hotel in a vibrant urban setting, this one delivers every single time.
The hotel is perfectly located—just a short walk from downtown San Francisco, with great access to public transit and plenty of nearby dining options. The staff are warm and welcoming, making check-in and check-out smooth. Rooms are spacious and impeccably clean, offering plenty of room to relax after a long day exploring the city. The only minor drawback is that the windows are a bit outdated and don’t insulate well—occasionally moisture builds up, but it’s not enough to ruin the experience. Overall, this is an outstanding value for the price, especially given the central location and the range of amenities provided. I’d highly recommend it for families, weekend getaways, or business travelers looking for comfort and convenience without the premium price.
The Lombard Inn is a solid choice if you're looking for a no-frills stay in San Francisco. The rooms are clean and the beds are surprisingly comfortable—perfect for a good night's rest. While the decor and furnishings feel a bit dated, they’re still functional and adequately maintained. One thing worth mentioning is that the hallways had a slight musty odor, likely due to the carpets needing a deep clean. That said, it’s an easy fix and doesn’t detract much from the overall experience. I’d recommend this hotel for travelers who prioritize comfort and convenience over modern design. It’s a reliable option with great value, especially if you're on a budget.
We stayed in Glasgow for a few days and stopped by this hotel for breakfast—had no expectations going in, but was pleasantly surprised. The menu options were somewhat limited, but the warm welcome and excellent service from Thomas made all the difference. He went above and beyond to make our morning special. It’s a hidden gem with a welcoming vibe, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone passing through.
On Friday, April 21st at 10:15 AM, a guest from another building at the hotel climbed over the fence between units 179 and 173, entered our private driveway area, then climbed over our fence and left toward Wiese Street, heading toward 16th Street. We immediately called 911. The situation was alarming and unsettling. While police responded promptly, the incident raised serious concerns about property security and safety protocols. It's important to note that making assumptions based on someone's background is not only inappropriate but also harmful. As guests, we expect the hotel to maintain a secure environment for all. We hope management will take immediate action to improve fencing, surveillance, and overall safety measures to prevent future incidents.
