the first room I was given was claustrophobic and garish, decorated in shades of gold, gray and black. When I requested an upgrade, the desk clerk went out of her way to acommodate me. The new room was much larger, more tastefully deocrated and had a nice view of downtown. During my stay, the staff always did more than I... more

It feels that they need to hire few designers to put this place together. It is outdated, despite to the fact that the restaurant and the lounge were recently remodelled. Rooms are clean, few things here and there have to be either replaced or repaired. Restaurant is terrible. Items are overpriced and simply are not the best. Be prepared that... more

Newly renovated, luxurious hotel. Everything was beautiful and clean. Located right next to a cable car stop. Our room faced the cable car route, but I did not find it to be too loud. Sound proofing between rooms also was good, I couldn't hear anyone. Nice views. Cheaper than the rates of the Fairmont across the street where my husband... more

Tthe Stanford Court provided me with a very pleasant stay and introduction to Nob Hill. If you get a bay view room on a high floor, you'll be treated to a visual panorama of boats on the bay, as well as the cityscape of the nearby skyscrapers. Not all the rooms appear to have such views, however. The bathroom was... more

A nice hotel with modern décor in a good location (short walk from Times Square). Staff was attentive but it was hard to get the concierge (not always there or always with a queue of people). Room was a decent size with ok wardrobe (not overly generous for two people). Flat-screen TV and wonderful bed (high mattress, lots of high-quality... more

I like the location although that hill is steep. We asked for and got a nice view from our room. I booked this through a Priceline auction and we got a great deal so some of the little things didn't bug me. They are doing construction on the hotel so the drive up entrance was not available. The concierge floor... more

I stayed here August 22, I was in the city with friends for my birthday celebration. I made my reservation online and specified a King room for 3 guests, checked off that I would need extra towels and a rollaway. Also specified that we would be a later check in. When I got to the hotel, I was told that... more

An excellent location on Nob Hill at the "top" of the city with easy public transportation access to all areas. The intersection right outside has two cable car lines or you can enjoy a nice steep walk downhill to SoMa or the Embarcadero/Pier 39. A definite plus for little kids to see the cable cars going by all the time.... more

Spent a wonderful few days in San Francisco this summer as the last leg of our first trip to California. Stayed in a Renaissance Stanford Court Marriott in the Nob Hill area. Beautiful hotel - great service and conveniently located. We followed someone's advice and turned in our rental car as soon as we arrived. Bought a 3 day transit... more
