Being a magazine editor at one of the largest magazines in the country, I get to stay at some pretty amazing hotels whenever I go traveling. My husband lovingly teases me that unless it's a five star hotel, I won't even enter the property. He's kind of right...but I do love the luxury of a amazing hotel room. As a... More

This hotel was recommended to me by another small hotel I have stayed in that could not accommodate me. They made a mistake. I will always try to stay here when visiting San Fran in the future. Not only is the property immaculate, in a quiet safe neighborhood, and full of San Fran charm, with an outstanding complimentary breakfast and... More

Very quaint area. Loved walking the neighborhood and looking at the houses. The staff was FANTASTIC! It was like staying with family, but without all the obligations! The staff remembered our names (nice customer service touch), and they were VERY courteous and helpful. The continental breakfast was great; nice selection...so many temptations...just throw the diet out the window and dig... More

I just spent 3 nights at the Hotel Drisco as a special birthday treat from my son and daughter. The three of us stayed in room 408, a large comfortable suite with an amazing view. From the minute we arrived at the hotel the customer service was outstanding. The room was exceptionally clean and was outfitted with everything you could... More

Love Period Buildings, Pacific Heights Mansions, and top of the world views? Want to have excellent, comfortable, friendly service that will make you feel as well cared for as Lord & Lady Grantham of Downton Abbey? Then Hotel Drisco is an excellent choice! Both the building and the staff are wonderful and give you that stepping-back-in-time-to-a-better-time feeling. From the moment... More

We stayed a night at the Hotel Drisco for our anniversary, and it was lovely. The check-in service was friendly and helpful, offering a map of the area. They had sparkling cider chilled and waiting in the room for our special event, along with a selection of chocolates from a local chocolatier and some nice bath salts in the bathroom.... More
