An excellent value for an exceptional location right on the cable car line and near Union Square. A warning, though, that meals in the hotel restaurant are quite steep. Our breakfast was $80 for eggs, sausage, toast and coffee for two. Gorgeous location and excellent service, though. The only thing about our lodging that wasn't terrific was that our room wasn't serviced after night one. We came ba...

Pros (+) Good location. Friendly concierge and staff.
Cons (-) old, musky facilities. Porcelain in bathroom looks yellowish. Rooms tiny. “Amenities fee” makes no sense. Only “amenity” is a Glass of wine in the afternoon. They should charge for that explicitly instead of through a Flat fee

Pros (+) Excellent location just one block from Union Square.
Cons (-) Because we received a low room rate through Kayak we were told “there were no king or queen rooms available and had to accept two double beds or “an historic (tiny) room”.

Pros (+) The Sir Francis Drake is adjacent to Union Square, Chinatown + the cable car line. You can walk to almost anything you need, and you don't need to go far. The staff is always helpful, even to late arrivals wanting a different room. The housekeepers respect "do not disturb" signs -- important when paperwork is left everywhere -- but are quick to make up a room when you're ready. AND it's across the...
Cons (-) When it's busy, the elevators take a minute to get to you. Be prepared to wait. The bar backs up, too, and that can mean getting a drink when it's crowded is an ordeal -- especially since the lobby cab get loud. But the people are nice, so in terms of this negative, it's really just a fact that's not terrible.

Pros (+) The Drake has a great location, it's clean and comfy with some traces of old excellence. The Concierge was very helpful with directions and suggestions for meals.
Cons (-) Tiny bathroom but then, who comes to San Francisco to hang out in the bathroom?
