“Great View!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

My husband and I spent just one night here. We got a great deal on Priceline. Check in was fast and friendly. The room was just like any other hotel in S.F. in this class, nice sheets, comfy pillows, fairly small room. BUT the view and location were way better than average. And the sliding glass door actually opened so we got fresh air and an even better look out at the bay bridge and ferry building. Pretty lobby and nice happy hour at the bar. Hope to stay here again

“Great location... Tired hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012 via mobile

My employer obviously got a great deal here and the location in general is wonderful, but the rooms are just tired. Old carpeting, odd room design, tiny (and old....and cramped/ creepy) bathrooms....I'm going back to the JW Marriott next time for sure! The front desk was pleasant but I had to call the bellman / valet (there were 3 standing around when I got there) to help me get bags out of the taxi.... and I was given the impression they were doing me a favor. Again great location.... But major updates needed.

Dear Valued Guest,

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the convenient location of our hotel. We apologize for the dated guestroom in the hotel. There will be a cosmetic upgrade towards the end of this year to refreshed all of our guest rooms including new carpeting. We hope you will consider returning to our hotel in the near future after the upgrade is completed.

Best regards,
Tiffany

“Disappointing Stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

Definitely not the best Hyatt I've stayed at. From the first glance, it's difficult to get a positive impression of the Hyatt. The street level floor is not where reception is located and you must navigate the various rooms and columns to find out how to move upstairs to reception. The hotel is also an interior corridor hotel, an older construction that looks dated in light of modern hotel architecture. The rooms could also use some investment with numerous light fixtures not working. Finally, the Internet was a nightmare to deal with-the WiFi would cut in and out all the time. With that all said, service was excellent, the gym was a pleasure to use and the hotel is located very conveniently in downtown next to public transport and major tourist attractions. It's a pity that it hasn't made a few changes to make it into a truly excellent hotel.

Room Tip: Go onto a high floor and as faraway from the elevators as possible (you get a view of the Golden Gat...

“Spend the extra for the club level”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

We enjoyed excellent food and concierge service. The view was fantastic. The 360 degree view was worth the splurge. The location was fantastic. We were at a cable car hub and Bart station. Check in was very efficient. It was clear our room had not been occupied in awhile, and could have used a quick dusting.

“Another home at pacific coast.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

First time I stayed at this hotel 6 years ago and this was the second time and i realized nothing has changed after years and i felt i shouldn't leave without leaving a comment. One of the best hotel at pacific coast... drinking a coffee after a tiring travel with lots of flight at the lounge with bay bridge, historical ferry building, , that takes all my stress... delicious food, spotless hotel, friendly and helpful housekeeping staff, plus their supervisor and helpful guest service and welcoming front staff for my luggages.... i would love to thank you for all of your hard work to make me feel a member of your family...
