Hotel was close to everywhere -cable cars, shopping, restaurants and trolleys. Not any nosier than staying in any major city. We were on the top floor -not facing the streets . Breakfast was basic but plentiful and great for a quick bite before heading out.

No, it's not the hotel in The Eagles' song. But if you like nostalgic experiences, The Hotel California would be a very good choice! I stayed two nights at this 99-year-old hotel while on my way home from a business trip to Las Vegas. It was easy to find, being located just a stone's throw from the Union Square. The... More

My husband and I had the "sunshine suite." It was a great room, full of light and painted a wonderful yellow. All the basics were there, and bed was comfortable. Also a great room for watching people on the street. There was a litlle noise the first night, but aftererwards it was quiet. Location is convient. Staff is helpful. If... More

If you want a place where you can store your stuff and have a clean bed to sleep in then this place did the job. Lift is an antique but works. Tequila shot was nice after a 15 hour flight. Great location - especially for shopping.

We stayed at the Hotel California in February 2012. It was my husband, myself and our two sons. We had a "suite" that had a bedroom with one bed and another bedroom with two twins. There was one bathroom. The rooms are very nicely done. The beds are very comfortable and the decor is all about California. The rooms were... More

I really liked it's charm and character. The frosted tequila shot at check-in is a nice touch. Great breakfast (make your own waffles, fruit, cereal, yogurt, bagels etc to toast, boiled... More

Great place to stay. Old hotel with lots of character. Hardwood floors and a vintage elevator which only allows 4 passesngers at a time. We stayed 4 nights during the week and never ran into any elevator problems. Arrived very late due to a late flight. First room was quite small with a queen bed. Requested a room change for... More

I stayed here for 8 days in March while I attended a conference. I stay at a lot of hotel in big cities. The good: It was only 3 blocks from the Hilton where my conference was and the Hilton was $50 more a night. This hotel had a good breakfast each day. Waffles, ham, turkey, cheese, breads, cereals, fruit... More
