This Hotel is the worst hotel I have ever stayed ! The staff does not care if you are checking in or not , they just don`t mind at all , the front desk is really old , the furniture is old and seem that has not been clean for ages, the floor in the main entrance was dirty ,... more

I really tried hard to like this place. I got a great deal on the room and like to boast about my bargains, I'm just not sure this was one of them. First of all the front desk staff (accept the overnight guy) were great very helpful. Tony the supervisor seemed a bit "spaced out". After I mentioned the pipes... more

We recently spent five days in The City by the Bay, and we were absolutely enchanted by our accommodations! The Hotel California is an older hotel just blocks from Union Square, and has maintained the elegance of its former days while updating itself in key matters. Our room was high-ceilinged, with ceiling fan and tall bay windows, and the staff... more

This hotel made our trip to San Fran a most memorable experience we would saty there again in a heart beat its is most unique and great value Its a real find and would highly recommend this hotel more

Old antique elevator, which is cool, but slow and a little scary for anyone not completely comfortable on an elevator anyway! Room is small but cozy, clean, bright, and with a nice charm. Location is good, close to major transportation lines (BART and... more

Central, city location, but very noisy and scary after dark. The room was very small and had sticky stuff on the floor. No ice machine, had to go to the front desk to get ice. Towels were small and limited. When I asked for an additional towel, I noticed it was laced with pubic hair. I nearly vomited. Wine and... more

This hotel is a dump! Before you ignore this review, please be advised that I am a student with a small budget -- I am used to staying in the likes of Holiday Inn's, Comfort Inn's, and even the occasional Best Western. I have always had pleasant experiences in those hotels because they are as basic as can get. I... more

San Frnacisco is the most fabulous city ever! We started our stay at 3 a.m. with Duane at The Hotel California and that led to a great trip. He suggested a myriad things for us to do in between our Outside Lands music festival and we were never disappointed! Brenda's for breakfast was a delicious beginning and the MUNI pass... more
