I had noticed, from the Marriott chain (Renaissance) and from Hilton (Hampton Inn) the corporate desire to de-formalize the hotel presence, make it friendlier and "more whimsical" in the words of some promotion to give a less forbidding image to veteran hotel denizens. Renaissance has their "touches of the local flavor" and Hampton has these amusing signs in room, elevators,... more

The Cypress Hotel was definitely one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. Everything was clean, and the service was friendly. There was no continental breakfast, but plenty of places to eat around the hotel. I got a very good feeling about the cleanliness of the hotel, which is the most important aspect to me. All the linens and... more

We stayed here for one night just looking to get out of San Francisco for a while. The staff was very friendly and we found all the previous good review we read to be true. This hotel is pet friendly, but you would never know it because the place beautiful and spotless. We took our dog with us for the... more

We had never heard of the Cypress (or any of the Kimpton) Hotel but were staying there because our friends were staying there for a local birthday party. We were VERY impressed with the quality of this hotel. I usually stay at a hotel near the San Jose airport or near I880, but staying here was worth the extra distance.... more

This hotel is just what you expect from Kimpton Hotels, our favorite chain. Funky, interesting, unusual, artsy, colorful - what a breathe of fresh air from the cookie cutter chains. I wish they were in every city. We got a fabulous weekend special, under $100 with no parking fees, and were given a "slightly larger" (I believe that's what the... more

We got this hotel for some "last-minute weekend special bargain" price for less than 100$. It was awesome value with free parking and wifi (that worked very well). Although hotels.com listed 'breakfast', we found out that it wasn't the same as 'free breakfast'. Omelets from the restaurant were pricey, but Starbucks was close-by. We also found, too late, that there... more

Absolutely darling hotel at just the location I needed, with a really excellent staff and services. I have traveled the world and stayed in many famous hotels and the Cypress ranks with or above them, at a great price. Their Park Place restaurant is also outstanding--although they do have some exceedingly short tables in the bar area that seem to... more

Stayed here one night of a move to San Francisco. The room was great, shower and bath, as well. It was an excellent stop over place before heading into the city. I didn't want to park the moving truck in the open parking lot in the back, which was not visible from any part of the hotel or room. I... more

I have used this hotel several times over the last few months for business trips, each time I have been impressed with it. It is clean, modern and the rooms are spacious. The staff are friendly, putting you at ease after an 11 hour trans Atlantic flight. Having stayed in numerous rooms, they are all spacious and feature there own... more
