Watch the historic in-room TV program about the hotel. Great historic perspective of one of California's historic hotels. I've stayed at this hotel more than any hotel in the world (300+ Nights over my lifetime). Get a room in the "Historic" wing overlooking Union Square. The 21-series, 10-series, and 34-series rooms are the best (1221, 1021, 1121, etc.). Also the... More

I stayed at the Westin St. Francis for a business trip last week. The location is very good for shopping and dining. The hotel is historic and has a lot of character. However, I was surprised at how tiny the room was, and it was not as nice as other Westins I have stayed in. Little things, such as the... More

Stayed here while attending a conference. I was upgraded to a room in the new tower on the 27th floor. View of Union Square and city was terrific. Room was very nice as in other upgraded Westin properties. I hear from other conference attendees that the rooms in the historic tower were noisy. Not an issue in the new tower.... More

I think the Westin St. Francis is a decent hotel. The Westin bed is of course fantastic - extremely comfortable. The staff was very nice, attentive, and helpful. And the rooms are a fair price for San Francisco. The negatives - dated, very simple rooms. There were 4 dirty empty wine glasses right outside my door when I checked in,... More

As you can see, I review Starwood properties often. I travel a lot and I am a Platonism member. This hotel, in short, is dated and needs some work. The elevators I the main building were down. Two of six worked. The banks were left open causing a draft. My phone was broken for the three day stay. The gym... More

I was at the St Francis for three nights last week and had a room on the 12th floor of the original building. The room was comfortable and clean, but despite being tucked down a hall off the main corridor it was extremely loud. My assumption is that this lovely old hotel just wasn't built with the same sound proofing... More

Second stay here and its great for a night or two to hit the bars and restaurants. The hotel's Bourbon Bar is lively and a good meeting place before and after dinner. Easy access from San Francisco airport on the Bart rail if you don't have much luggage or a $45 taxi ride. More

The St. Francis next to Union Square is one of the old grand hotels in SanFran with a new wing. We opted for a room in the old building for its history and the charm of the old hotel. The charm remains, but attraction of the location, once the center of all, has fallen progressively as the square continues to... More

I had great stay at the westin st Francis! It was my first time in California and was looking forward to a stay in the st. Francis. I had two double rooms booked and was glad they were able to get both close to each other. I had a decent view, the room was spacious and the beds ultra comfortable.... More
