I stayed at the Donatello for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. The location in Union Square is great, and the property is fantstic. Upon checking in, I noticed my cell phone had run down its charge and realized I forgot to pack the charger--sure enough the front desk had a spare and gave me free use for the few days... more

After reading all the very positive reviews, we expected a little more of this hotel. All in all it is average, however the location could not be any better. more

I was in town for a conference and the room was awesome! Chocolate every evening! However, I needed to do some work and the wi-fi was terrible! It would be nice if there was a default LAN line that I could tap into, I would have given the rating a 5! more

Great value. The downtown location and the service were what you'd expect for a place charging double the price. The room had a mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, and mini-kitchen sink, in addition to the typical hotel amenities. The hotel staff were extremely courteous and helpful -- giving directions, making change for our street car/trolley adventures, holding our luggage after check out... more

The rooms are large and comfortable. The service is excellent. Proximity to union square, shopping and public transport options is also helpful. Nice coffee in the rooms but the coffee at breakfast is suboptimal. Just go to starbucks. more

Just returned from a business trip to the Bay area where I had another delightful stay, albeit for only one night this time, at the Donatello. Jesus, Manuel, Mark, and Rolando welcomed me back warmly even though it had been a year since my last stay: "Welcome home!" As always, the room, the breakfast, and the customer service were just... more

I love this hotel! I was in town to assist my daughter with a surgery so I was not expecting a pleasant stay. I was also nervous to be in the Union Square part of town because I was afraid of dirt, noise, etc. I spent 6 nights there. Much to my surprise, the hotel was quiet, extremely well run,... more

5 night stay with the family to attend a conference. Everything in the room worked as it should; the bed and the pullout were comfortable; and there was plenty of shelving and storage space for our assorted gear. Our room looked almost exactly like the one on their website. Breakfast room is very relaxing but get there early or the... more

The staff was the greatest. I travel a lot in my line of business and I am generally alone. The Donatello staff ensured me that my stay would be great and it was. From Mark at the from desk, to room service and even the parking attendant made sure that my every need was taken care of . I have... more
