Recently we stayed at this hotel and the main reason for choosing it, having read various reviews, was that it was a very good price and location in San Francisco. Any amount of searching for hotels will show you that it aint cheap to stay in this city and so if you want a top class hotel you have to pay for it.

We found the hotel staff competent although not overly helpful but we didn't require them for anything and so had no real interaction with them beyond check in and check out.

The room we had faced the main street and was a bit noisy but was very comfortable and clean, if in need of a bit of fresh paint in places.

The breakfast was AWFUL! The choice consisted of pastries, bagels and sachets of Quaker oats, nothing else, no fruit, no cereal, no yoghurts, nothing. We had breakfast there on the first morning and then subsequently went elsewhere to fuel up for a hard days sight seeing.

Overall, if you want a cheap, no frills, central hotel then this one is fine. Just don't expect luxury

When we booked to this hotel, we didn't know what to expect. Check-In was very fast and easy, we were advised of our Parking options, we didn't stay at the one they offered because it didn't look to safe to park our car there, so we walked to the next block and we found a vallet parking lot, with In and out privalages that charged 25 dollars (great service from those guys)

We go in our room the room is small than the usual hotel rooms, but we found it to be very cozy, comfortable and private.

The prize was awesome, we got it half the original price through hotwire, only cost 66 bucks. ( I wouldn't price the suggested price on this hotel though)

The size was right for two people, we spent most of our night shopping, eating and visiting different places of San Francisco, mostly out of the hotel, so that's a reason why the room wasn't really an issue.

the one thing we disliked was the restroom, the restroom was spacios and included all the ammenities a restroom should have, but the tub was really poor condition.

Overall, this is a great place if you are spending most of your time outside your hotel, or a weekend deal, not recommended for vacationers or people who expect great ammenities in a hotel...

I spent three days in SF at a very pleasant time of the year: not too crowded, good dry weather. I had chosen this hotel for its convenient location near Union Square. The room was comfortable though a little over stuffed with furniture. The bathroom, on the other hand, lacked a shelf or any other place to put toilettries and was separated from the bedroom only by a sliding door , which did not make for much privacy for the toilet.
The elevator is rather antique and no one will help you if you try to get your suitcase in by pushing the heavy grille to the side. The personnel seems to change all the time and is quite indifferent. There is a restaurant and bar , which I didn't visit after my experience with breakfast. The dismal smelly, basement has a small counter where coffee urns dispense indifferent weak coffee, a serving shelf offers bagels or rolls.Two very small rooms with minute tables to sit. The usual array of tea , sugar, jam,paper towels are all available on another table, a bowl of sliced apples and a few grapes were the only fresh fruit . Perhaps the same, served in a pleasant room, might not have seemed so skimpy and cheap. I recommend going out for that meal;
Across from the hotel, a very good, Japanese cafe, restaurant , quite lively in the evening.Nearby, a convenience store, a cablecar stop, all the shops you want!

My wife and I stayed at the Fitzgerald Hotel for new year's 07. We enjoyed our stay very much and found the rooms to be quite charming. The value you get for your money is great. The location is very good and the staff is friendly. Rooms may be small for some but they are all you will need for 2 to 4 people. Room decor was very nice. I would give it 2.5 stars personally.
