Staying at the InterContinental San Francisco was a fantastic experience. The room offered breathtaking views of the bay, and waking up to that sight—especially with the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance—was absolutely unforgettable. The hotel’s location is ideal: just steps away from the Moscone Center and within walking distance of the BART station, making it super convenient for getting around town or heading to the airport. I signed up for IHG Rewards during check-in and received a few small perks—always a nice bonus. Breakfast was pricey at $40 per person, but the quality and variety made it worth it. The amenities included Byredo products, which added a luxurious touch. Overall, this is a solid five-star experience—nothing flashy, but everything executed well. If you can snag a good deal, it's definitely worth considering. Plus, the neighborhood feels safe and walkable, even late at night. A great choice for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and a bit of elegance.
The room was comfortably sized and well laid out, even with slightly older furnishings—still felt elegant and timeless. I appreciated the classic charm of the hotel, which gives it a unique character compared to newer properties. Located just steps from downtown San Francisco, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring the city—walking distance to shops, restaurants, and attractions. The staff were warm and professional throughout my stay, making the experience feel personal and welcoming. Despite its vintage appeal, the hotel maintains high standards in cleanliness and comfort. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a refined, historic vibe without the premium price tag. Definitely recommend for travelers who value atmosphere and location.
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.
