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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Very nice hotel with good services and location. We stayed there for 3 days on March 2024 while visiting San Francisco CA. The staffs are well trained and always helpful. The location of the hotel is in the center of the city, near pier 39, so it’s convenient to go anywhere.

What a wonderful hotel! Shan't stay anywhere else when visiting San Francisco. I loved the location, the cheerful and cozy ambiance, the record collection(s) and the LP player. And the in-house restaurant! It also helps that the restaurant is pet-friendly and has easy access to the sites in the Fisherman's Wharf/Cannery Warf area.

Lovely hotel with a boutique type feel to it even though it’s a big chain. Friendly team, Happy Hour every evening with free drinks and a fantastic Filipino restaurant. Free coffee every morning is a nice touch especially if you are out early before breakfast at the weekend. Rooms are modern and comfortable kept spotlessly clean.

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. We slept comfortably on the beds. Housekeeping cleaned our rooms and provided us with new linen and towels on a daily basis. The front desk staffs were all very courteous, accommodating, and helpful. We felt so close to home during the entire durafion of our stay especiaĺly with the presence of Abaca restaurant at the ground floor and the lovely Filipino staffs at the front desk. They helped us with all of our inquiries. The best part is that Kimpton is within walking distance to a number of attractions/spots that we planned to visit, and accessible by public transportation. We highly recommend staying at Kimpton when you visit San Francisco.

I took my wife on a birthday trip to San Francisco which was made even better by our stay at the Kimpton Alton! The staff were wonderful, especially Mary and Harvey at the reception desk. They both went out of their way to be sure we had the perfect room for our stay. Mary greeted us every time we walked past the desk and was genuinely dedicated to making sure we had a great experience. We also enjoyed the complimentary social hour each evening and chatting with the folks staffing the bar. The hotel is in a good location, with numerous restaurants and shops within a 10-minute walk. We would gladly stay at the Alton again and would recommend it highly to other travelers!

Nice and big room. Location is perfect. Parking available just across for a cheap rate where you could go in and out unlimited. Shout out to Clifford and Liu who were there to make our stay memorable. Clifford was extremely helpful in giving us directions and taking care of our basic needs. The hotel didnt have water in the room but you could go get water at the ICE room. Water was for sale for 6 dollars which was a bit much but clifford really helped out to get us what we need.
