Good location, if you don't mind walking up and down very steep hills. Expensive parking, but that's SF. Close to Chinatown and good places to eat. We were there for a quick stay and it served the purpose. It was oddly limited in clothing storage. Very few drawers, so if you are staying for a while this could be an... More

I booked this hotel a few months ago for a 2-night stay this past weekend. I was hesitant at first after reviewing some of the comments on here but there are good and not so good comments about every hotel. We wanted to be close to the Fairmont and in Nob Hill as one of our friends were having a... More

Given its location (in swanky Nob Hill) and its neighbours (the Fairmont and the Intercontinental) I was disappointed by this hotel. Soulless with fairly indifferent staff (with only one or two exceptions), I was expecting much more. My room was a good size but the noise was constant - including the recycling lorry at 5.00am, and the very shouty chambermaids... More

My husband and I have had a rough year and needed a vacation. The Stanford was recommended by friends. The hotel is conveniently located (albeit, you’ll need to take the trolleys or cabs, as the hotel is located on a very steep hill) and very clean and well maintained. The beds and linens are fantastic. The view from the 7th... More

After booking online for a City View/Skyline King room, we arrived to find that there were no rooms in that category available. The room they put us in has a view of the hotel across the street - but the rate of $319 remained the same! The front desk staff was rude and impatient, even though my husband is a... More

The Stanford Court is a famous hotel in the Nob Hill section of the city. It was bought by Marriott and refurbished to it's current standard. Some reviewers have complained about the layout of the rooms or the odd placement of the elevators, but in order to maintain the integrity of this historic building, changes had to be minimal. Personally,... More

Before the negatives let me give you the good points about the hotel. The biggest is location. It sits on Nob Hill at the intersection of California and Powell. This is the crossroads for several cable cars. You can head down to Union Square or to Fisherman's Wharf on the Powell/Mason/Hyde lines (Powell Mason will drop you at Bay and... More

This is a fine hotel in an excellent location on Nob Hill. I have stayed at the Stanford Court for two nights in April and was pleased with my stay. As other reviewers have pointed out, this hotel is excellently located on Nob Hill at the intersection of the two cable car lines. It is a nice area close to... More

The rooms and hotel in general is first class. Very comfortable room with huge flat screen tv. Customer service was excellent in a reserved and refined way. Bellboy, valet parking etc available. The hotel sits atop Nob Hill so it's a stiff walk to get back after a day out sightseeing! I have read that it is claimed to be... More

This hotel was our first stop on a tour of California. It is nicely located on Powell Street (albeit at the top of a rather steep hill) which as other reviewers have pointed out makes Union Square and Chinatown easily accessible. The location is really pretty good apart from the hike back but this is San Francisco after all. The... More
