Hotel berhampiran Grateful Dead House, San Francisco

I want to share my recent experience at this hotel, which I regretfully cannot recommend. The hotel has an attractive location but is marred by a lack of basic amenities and poor customer service. During our six-night stay, we discovered on the second morning that there was no hot water. We informed the receptionist, Andy, but were met with a dismissive and rude attitude. We were informed that there would be no hot water for the rest of the day, and this lack of basic amenities was for a total of three days of the six days of our stay. Please note that according to California Civil Code §1940.2, it is the responsibility of the hotel to provide and maintain hot and cold running water for guests. To make matters worse, when we requested to check out early due to this issue, we were offered no refunds as our stay was prepaid on expedia. Expedia told us that the property was to decide while the property said it was expedia.. As I am a hotelier myself, I know it is the hotel’s call in the end. We were offered a shower facility in a separate building which was very inconvenient as we had to walk out of our building and take elevators to get there.. This was not a suitable alternative to the basic amenity that we had paid for. To add insult to injury, at time of check out, Andy offered us only $80 as a refund on a reservation worth over $1500, what a humiliating act, we could not believe it! Better not to offer anything, because really it is a shame to offer this to people.. We were one of the many customers to complain, and we saw that the receptionists had no sympathy towards anyone.. Yes, all businesses are there to make money, but not like this. What they did is close to stealing from someone! I cannot recommend this hotel to other travelers, and I will continue to write on other platforms to warn people..

Overall good Pros 1.location 2. Good for family 3. Hygiene Cons 1. Wifi speed was very very slow. So if you want internet from hotel this is not the place

It’s my second time back in this hotel but this time I got to stay at the Landmark room. The room is spacious, as usual the location is superb! Just at Union Square, walking distance to Chinatown and as well to the cable car. $25 daily for the fees is mandatory to be paid but you will get in return of a daily credit for that amount and two steel bottles and two cable car ticket one way! Amenities is superb, bed is amazingly comfortable!

It is smacked right in the center where homeless people are so as a foreigner, we feel safer to go out by car (they offer a parking lot in the building) or use Uber ir Lyft. Very clean room. Very lovely housekeepers. Don't expect much from the front desk. No breakfast available.

房間很大，很乾凈。住四個成年人基本沒有問題。前台小姐姐很熱情友好。裝修風格是美式復古。早餐雖然很簡單但是蔬果麪包咖啡都有 停車場很方便，如果能免費就更好啦 周圍也很安靜，兩個保安輪流值守很安是舊金山性價比很高的酒店

It was very nice and clean! The staff was friendly.

Lovely quaint hotel that feels like it has some history. The renovations are modern with a comfy bed, pristine sheets and plush towels. The upgrade did a good job of keeping to original aesthetics and respecting the classic building. The location is a minute walk to Union Square and next to other bigger chain hotels. The staff were all very friendly especially the check-in with Vivian! Her friendly welcome and 5 star customer service after a long flight in was greatly appreciated! Comes with coffee and pastries in the morning in the lobby area before you start your day exploring the city. Will stay here again upon my return to SF.

Location is super convenient, it is inside chinatown. There are no crazy peeps lurking the area. Lots of food in the vicinity, coffee shop just beside the hotel! Very near to the tourist spots which is also a plus! For the room, it is clean. Bed super comfy, no itchy feels. Room has no aircon, but it gets really cold during night time because of the weather. Toilet is also clean. Things are also secured, I left everything inside the room, still intact when we went back. Only thing i dont like is the curtains, not that clean and have stains, and the faint smell but this can be improved. Amenities are ok, there is a watter dispenser in the lobby area so you dont need to buy water.microwave is also available. Overall, hotel is highly recomnended!

We stayed in the Barnes for four nights in June 2023. Firstly, the hotel is really well located, right by Union Square with all its transport links and 20-30 minute walk away from the Embarcadero and Oracle Stadium. The room was clean and cleaned daily, staff were all very friendly, and it has a great gym (we stayed at the Galleria Park during our last stay in SF which was more expensive and the gym wasn’t fantastic). The bathroom was a little on the small side but the room was a decent size with a comfortable (but slightly on the softer side) bed, fridge, huge TV, coffee making facilities and a table with two bar stools. The hotel is good for the price you pay. We didn’t spend huge amounts of time in the room as we were busy sightseeing and it was perfect for what we needed. As other reviewers have pointed out, some parts of it are being renovated but we were not impacted by any noise so we had no complaints on that side. I note one other review mentioned noise from the road, we did experience that but it didn’t bother us.
