• There was no swimming pool.

• Location, style, convenience and amenities.
• They charged $15/day for internet access.

“A great location and a beautiful facility made the Stanford court the perfect hotel for our vacation. We found it so easy to get around the city from the Stanford Court and would recommend it to friends.”

• Great location and lovely room.
• The fixtures were old, so shower was poor and air con was loud. There was no fridge in room either.

“I liked the hotel overall and the rooms were comfortable and nice. However, it is an ld building that new Air conditioning units and new plumbing. I felt it was a bit over priced considering it did not include breakfast, did not have a fridge and there were no robes or added touches like that. I was impressed with the gym though, and the location is great.”

• The price was great and location was interesting, and there was an excellent view from room.
• Hallways and doors were scuffed, looked dated with a coat of paint.

“The hotel was OK for the price. Not really bad for a 1 night stay alone. I would not bring a spouse for a romantic weekend. Everything seemed a little worn with another coat of paint on top and then cuffed with shoe marks.”

• The bed and bedding was very nice. Room was good size, though bathroom was small.
• No towel ring/rack in the bathroom and was inconvenient. No convenience shop. No newspaper available.

“This is a lovely hotel both in the room and the public areas. Away from the hustle-bustle of Union square which is good for the quiet, but wear your walking shoes if you are on foot, as it is nearly at the top of Nob hill, up very steep sidewalks. My only criticisms are that there are no towel ring/racks in the sink area of the bathroom, and there is no in-house convenience store. It was not possible to buy a newspaper, and there were no newspapers available at the concierge - they had run out. The newspaper boxes on the sidewalks require 4 quarters which I did not have, so I went to Illy's coffee across the street and bought a coffee I didn't need, in order to buy the newspaper. Aside from those small items, it is 4 star and very nice.”

• Nothing.
• The accommodation were not up to my expectations of four star hotels.

“No mini bar, no shampoo, binds for the windows but they did not black out, so too bright at night to sleep.”

• The staff was very friendly and helpful in making recommendations about sightseeing, transportation, parking, etc.
• The decor was too yellow, filthy carpet, no towel bars in the bathroom.

“Nice hotel, but room layout was not the greatest. Only one hook provided to hang a towel on next to the shower. No other towel bars anywhere in the bathroom. Closet was in the bathroom, TV was on a side wall and difficult to see, especially since a large window was right next to it (glare on screen). Carpet was quite dirty, especially in the hallway, otherwise hotel was clean. Service was great and the staff was friendly. The restaurant was okay. Breakfast was average and overpriced, but I guess that's how things are in a larger city. Dinner was better but still pricey. Overall, the areas the hotel was lacking in were made up for by the friendly and courteous staff.”

• Location.
• They charged me $105 to park my car with them without any warning on check-in.

“Hotel was nice enough. In my opinion I was taken advantage of regarding the parking charge they levied on me upon check-out. I would not have stayed here if I knew that was going to be the case.”

• The common places; it seemed to be clean and remodeled recently.
• The room was small, King Bed was not available, and mostly the curtains didn't have a sun shade.

• Very comfortable stay.
• No coffee in rooms. Have to shower,etc and trudge down.

“Hotel desk was very busy and had to wait a little longer than I was comfortable with. At 2:45 they said our room on floor 6 was not ready, but gave us a no view room on floor 2. We could have waited, but were tired from a days jet, train travel and wanted a room. Rate was good, thanks to Priceline! Would stay thee again, but a 4 star rating might be a reach, in my estimation. Very nice experience though.”

• Staff courtesy and service.

“For the price, it far exceeded my expectations. Parking was more than fair. They offered valet 24hour for competitive price. The staff was more than helpful in recommending hot spots and best way to get there. Being in a hurry, we ate during a peak hour in the corner of the in house restaurant, expecting to wait longer on service. We were in and out in about 30 minutes. The room was gorgeous. Obviously newly renovated. No regrets, it's the Hilton.”

• The bed was very comfortable.
• The parking fee 45 dollars plus tax was ridiculous!

• Recently underwent a major renovation, so it was like new. Clean, comfortable, good bed, and nice furnishings.

“Fun location for those who might want to take advantage of the cable cars. Good views from atop Nob Hill. The front desk staff was very pleasant, although it appeared the day we checked in that they may have had computer challenges.”

• Great central city location on the crossing of two cable car lines. Able to easily get anywhere.
• Hotel is still under renovation although barely noticeable. Parking is expensive and no free wireless Internet.

“Overall a nice choice for the business or leisure traveler. Located near the top of Nob Hill on the intersection of two cable car lines. Hotel restaurant appears makeshift and expensive at the moment. Many inexpensive good restaurants are nearby if you take the time to look. Rooms were simple but nice with large flat screen TV's, a small work desk and a table with accompanying chairs. Beds and linens were comfortable and clean. Hotel staff was great.”

• Comfortable beds and great coffee.
• The hotel was on Nob hill and was exhausted by the time I got to my room. It was great exercise.

“Overall, I was very happy with the hotel. Great view of the city and on the cable car line. If you like hiking and don't mind climbing the hill it is a perfect location, China town, Union Square, Nob hill famous hotels. Comfortable beds, linens, towels and good coffee.”

• As always, parking is expensive in SFO.

“The hotel exceeded our expectations. The room was quiet, always a plus, the hotel looked like it was recently renovated, the bed was super comfy and just a short walk to Union Square, all the shopping and the cable cars. I would definitely stay again!”

• The location was excellent.
• When I asked the concierge for a restaurant that was within walking distance I was told of one that was 4 blocks away which turned out to be 10 block.

“The best thing about this hotel is location! Cable car stops right outside which can get you to several of the hot spots in the city. The room was comfortable and the hotel staff was ok. Not real friendly but certainly not rude.

• Location!
• Hotel was undergoing renovations of the lobby and some common areas.

“We arrived and was greeted right away. The hotel was centrally located and walking distance from most of the SF landmarks. Our room was clean and had a great view. The bed was one of the best I have sleep in-down comforters and white linen. The hotel was under renovation, but minimized guest impact to their best ability. Overall, very nice and would highly recommend!”

• The rooms were well appointed and recently renovated.
• The lobby area was under construction and the elevators were slow.

“The hotel is nicely located on Nob Hill. Public transportation is limited to the hotel. Despite the lobby bar and restaurant being under construction the facility is well maintained and nicely appointed. The rooms were recently renovated and nicely appointed. The bed and linens are very comfortable. Housekeeping keeps everything clean and neat and the attendants are polite and courteous. I really liked the hotel.”
