Room was not up to par as one of AX's premier properties. Front desk was awesome. Breakfast was a nightmare. One of the managers was great. A snowball of small to medium glitches turned into an avalanche. Was there five days and four nights. It was sad as I needed the respite and the rest but got neither.

Hotel's Favourite
I selected this hotel as it was perfectly-place for a Book Signing Event... My view of Alcatraz, San Francisco Bay and Beyond were nothing-short-of Spectacular. But where the 'Rubber Meets`the`Road' for me was in the service levels by the team who work here. Even the Bellman has a history to share-there! And that wonderful lass behind the front desk, 'pinkie-promised' not to tell a single soul about my leaving my ammenities kits at the last hotel! She kindly topped me up with toothbrush, shave gear and other items I'd left behind in my wake... I'm up at 5 am every day to write, and I set up my laptop-nest in the massive lobby, surrounded by fabulous memorabillia of the Hotel, it's famed guests and more...

Really friendly service, was booked through the American Express app and was really delighted upon check in with how helpful the staff were. The hallway to the rooms were under construction so it wasn’t 100% but the hotel itself was really clean and all staff were really friendly if anything was ever needed. Will definitely be back again!

Impressive upscale hotel as most Fairmonts are. Located in one of the better parts of San Francisco with park down the street and a small sidewalk cafe around corner we ate at. I say "good location" as we're familiar with SF & we stayed recently in downtown section at a nice hotel, which had sidewalk tents across the street & yelling in the middle of the night from street [we were on 8th floor]. You won't find that in this location as cleaner area and views of SF Bay. Fairmont is nice inside and out and they upgraded us N/C to a nicer large room. A nice plus is their rooftop garden with great views of the city and lots of lounge chairs where we spent an afternoon.

We stayed at the Fairmont in San Francisco for a three day company event and it was such a great experience. All the rooms for the events, the accommodation, the overall facilities, and the service were all fantastic. Everyone was very helpful.

On check in I questioned a WiFi charge. I was told it would be removed on check-out. It wasn’t I was charged £70 wifi for a 3 night stay. The hotel lied in check in. Totally ruined my opinion of the place despite anything else the hotel had to offer. What 4 or 5 star hotel charges WiFi? That is ridiculous.

Great location & grande lobby - but rooms outdated & in need of repair / renovation. 1/2 of outlets didn’t work & decor shabby and worn. DO NOT EAT HERE - the hotel restaurant food is both terrible and over priced, and the service is worse. More of a convention center than a hotel.

I arrived on February 6th late in the evening. We had a tiny hiccup with the reservation but it was quickly resolved by the staff; In particular a manager by the name of Ashley Garcia went beyond her job description to fulfill my requests and provide immense aid and customer service. She made my stay incredibly comfortable and allowed me to fully focus on my reason for being in San Francisco. I would like to personally thank Ashley and highly recommend her and want to ensure she is recognized for her top quality customer service. - DaNelle and Nik

- While I understand there was a “VIPs” presence at the hotel that necessitated certain security measures, there were no protocols in place to assist guests from out of town with their stay instead of barracking barricading them in for 2 days. - I faced difficulties obtaining food and transportation due to the heightened security measures, despite having multiple bags that hindered my mobility further. - Despite addressing my concerns with management, their response was limited to offering a lunch credit, which was ineffective as the lunch kitchen was closed at the time, resulting in missed meetings and events. - In addition, I live with a chronic illness, so the physical strain of navigating multiple hills with bags to attend meetings was not only inconvenient but also detrimental to my health. When I raised this concern with management, they dismissed it, indicating that it was not their responsibility to accommodate such needs. - Upon checkout, I inadvertently left my sunglasses in the room, but the staff claimed they were too busy to assist and directed me to send an email, to which I have received no response. - Retrieving my baggage from the concierge took an excessive amount of time, and one of my bags was initially lost due to improper labeling, further delaying my departure. - The breakfast offerings were subpar and repetitive, particularly considering the price point of the accommodations. - Additionally, the coffee bar service was the slowest I have ever experienced, with it taking an astonishing 20 minutes just to place an order for a single tea. -Furthermore, the soundproofing of the rooms was abysmal. I could hear everything from neighboring rooms at all times, which either kept me up at night or woke me up unexpectedly. I didn't anticipate being subjected to the conversations of other guests during my stay. -Lastly, when it started raining, I requested the use of an umbrella, as I was informed they were stored in the room. However, upon returning to my room, I discovered there was no umbrella available in the closet as promised, leaving me exposed to the elements without proper protection. - Regrettably, this experience at the Fairmont has been the most disappointing of all my stays, and I do not plan on returning and will not be recommending.
