Stayed here for only a night in July 1. I've got great rate from expedia since I've got 20 pounds discount voucher. Got checked-in early at 11.30 in the morning and the staffs were quick to register me. One of them gave me a map of the city right away and marked down where the hotel is. I got the... more

Note: the ratings should be 3.5, but I rounded up. Basically this was our only choice through my sister's points to get 2 suite rooms for 3 nights (for free) in san fran. I normally try to get 4 star hotels through priceline or vacation pkg deals like expedia. The suite rooms are bigger than the standard in that there... more

My husband and I stayed at the Opal a year or so ago. We had such a good time there that we wanted to sell our house and move there. The staff had a wine night for guests on the Wednesday we arrived and we drank wonderful California wines while listening to music. Our room was fantastic. Huge comfortable bed... more

8/8 found this review helpful

I've read several reviews on various resorts/hotels/destinations, and this is my first review. I realize these reviews are as much about the reviewer as they are about the destination, so a bit about me (I'll try not to sound like a personal ad): I'm Canadian (born and raised and live in Toronto downtown) I'm a 30 y/o male who is... more

I booked this on priceline for about $80 a night and was nearly double what the other hotel was i originally booked but much more well worth the stay here. Front desk is curtious and nice wouldve scored a higher service but i didnt really talk to them much. Rooms were large and CLEAN and the bed was a comfy... more

I booked through Hotwire and then read the reviews on this site and tried unsuccessfully to get out of my reservation because of the bait and switch mentioned below. Additionally, though it's on Hotwire as a 3-star, it's on Expedia as a 2.5 star and La Quinta, which is what it was, is usually a 2-star, so I had serious... more

This place has a very decent location - about 4 blocks from a cable car and near many buslines. 3 buslines right outside door go up van ness ave (fisherman's wharf). Service was a little weird. we booked a suite and got a very attractive room with a small living room separated by a french door. very nice! however, we... more

Great value, great location, highly recommended! On arrival, I needed to change reservations from a king to double beds, high floor, QUIET room away from the street activity. Amelie at the front desk was very helpful with the room and informative about our other travel needs. The room (329) was a fair size for two people, TV, DSL internet, full... more

Stayed at the Opal as part of a fly drive holiday from the UK so cannot comment on value for money. As other reviewers have said, this is an older hotel and the rooms are accordingly not up to modern standards and the smallest we stayed at in the USA. The lifts are also very small. We had to use... more
