Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The hotel is located in the middle of everything making it easy to sight see in any direction. Architecturally, it’s a gorgeous building and the staff were so accommodating! I recommend staying here for all of your SF trips. The only thing to be aware of is that the quoted fee is actually a bit more as there is a “Nob Hill Entertainment” fee attached to each room- but it’s worth it.

Hotel's Favourite
Check in was fast. Shout out to Armando who gave me an upgrade to the best corner room with a view! The room was clean and spacious. The bed was super comfy! Major assistance with the jet lag. There was a coffee maker in the room with Coffee bean and tea leaf pods. The conditioner absolutely made my hair shiny. There was a ref and wine opener for my wine. The bar served great cokcktails and delicious buffalo wings. Robert was super helpful with the bags. I would come back with my family for the room good for 4 despite being a solo traveler this time. ❤️

This is my first stay at Standford Court San Francisco. It's right at the top of Nob Hill and only minutes walk away from The Whard or Union Square. I'm fortunate to work in the Hospitality industry and get to stay at all types of hotels in many different cities. Not sure if Standford is affiliated with any other Hotel Brands. The room includes Internet access, Phone calls, mini-refrigerator, ironing board, Smart TV, with a huge bathroom. Hotel Amenities include 24 Hour Fitness Center which I used only once. They have Precor equipment which I've ever seen in other hotels and gyms that l've worked out in. A few Peloton Bikes are available for use and I would love my home gym to have these equipment. They also have a restaurant in the hotel lobby and Valet parking is also available. What I wished the elevator was equipped with a room key activation mechanism to allow only hotel guest access to the room floors. Other than that, hotel is very nice, hotel staff was extremely friendly and professional, and the location being at the top of the hill makes it very safe than being in Union Square especially with Market Street being a very sketchy area at night time.

The "high speed wifi" that was advertised for my stay was absolutely terrible. I was unable to download apps I needed for my stay and other documents. The windows in my room were horrendous, initially I thought somebody forgot to make sure they were closed where in fact, they were just terrible insulated. When the President was across the street, we could hear the radio's of the Policemen on the street. I used the earplugs provided, but that doesn't fully block our the sirens at night as you feel like you are standing on street level and they are going by you. Additionally, the hotel was not build well in the sense that I could hear the other rooms around me if people were laughing or stomping around. More than the average hotel. But by far the most inconvenient thing was the terrible elevators. Only 2 of the 3 were operating but all 3 are clearly broken. The middle elevator when you press down from your floor, get in it will take you up to the top floor, then back down. You could tell there was vinyl planks installed incorrectly as they scrunched under your feet. The right one was the opposite issue. When we got in and pressed our floor, it would take us all the way to the top and we had to ride it back down to the level. Due to these terribly acting elevators, I waited on my floor for 15 minutes before having to take the stairs because they would not clear with people and I was late to my conference and I missed the over price breakfast that day. Significant price gouging to pay $3.00 for a piece of fruit. FInally, we got locked out of our room on the day of check out before 12pm which caused chaos downstairs and us to lose our last bit of time to tour the city. Despite the many many faults, carelessness and cut corners that the hotel has made, the staff was amazing! A fantastic man checked us in, he as well as the men standing at the door gave fantastic recommendations for food around the area. He gave us great advice about the transit system as well as parts of town that were fairly safe for tourists. Ultimately, I would not recommend staying at Stanford Court to anyone, I would tell them it would be worth the price to stay somewhere else. I plan on returning to San Francisco, but not to Stanford Court.

Dear TravellingCanadian99, Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we are heartened to know that the warm reception of our team proved on point and you felt cared for throughout your stay, we are sorry for the inconveniences that interrupted your rest and your time in the city. We will look into the matter of slower-than-usual WiFi, and we wish urban noise had not interfered with your sleep. We know our elevators are a challenge at present, and we will work quickly to remedy this situation for future guests. We apologize that you missed precious time at your conference and in the city due to this failure on our part. We understand your frustration though we do hope you will consider returning one day as we know we can earn your faith in us. Kindly, Victor Calzada, Hotel Manager

The staff were very helpful and kind. We were able to check in much earlier than anticipated. The room was clean and had great views of the city. Filtered water downstairs was HUGE. Best coffee at a hotel ! Design and decor's give you old meets new San Francisco magic. We will be staying again.

Very friendly staff. Room was large clean and comfortable. Limited evening menu but food was plentiful and tasty. Down side bar did not open until 1600 and beer choice lamentable. Bars in surrounding area shut until 1700. When checking out beware “destination fee”. No idea what it was for. After a discussion it was removed. One final thing the lifts were exceptionally slow.

I had a privilege to stay at Stanford Court San Francisco Hotel; hands down the best experience I’ve had throughout my stay in SF in general. The hotel was nice, clean, food was good, friendly staff. I wanted to highlight front desk girl Alexandra. She was very sweet and helpful. Since I came with my family who doesn’t speak English she was able to help them out in Russian as well which was a big plus for my family members! Overall it was a good stay. Next time I am in SF will definitely stay at the same hotel.

Service was great and friendly. Ideal location. Very nice room and view. Easy access. I will come back there when I travel to San Francisco next. Quiet. Close to everything but not right in the action. Room 639 was my room and it was a great room. I slept very well which is rarely the case in hotels. Totally recommend!
