Stayed here for a week on business as our office is close by. Its out of the way from anything much in the bay area and wouldn't chose to stay there for leisure. You need a car but then does most of America. It was pretty expensive even on business and while everything you needed was there it just came... More

The location of this hotel is about 30 minutes or so from San Francisco. My wife and I had driven up the coast to stay at this hotel and have a mini vacation for a couple days. We reserved the junior suite and I found the room to be odd in shape as the floor plan was somewhat triangular. The... More

Bought the "magnifique romance" package for our anniversary, which came with chocolate covered strawberries, a bottle of champagne and breakfast for two. Called for the champagne and front desk said "oh yes you have the romance package I see. I'll have room service send it up." An hour later, no champagne. I called back and told them I never got...

We stayed here on our last night in the states because we thought it was close to the airport and we had enjoyed the Sofitel in Chicago so much. The hotel provides free airport transfers if you call from the free phone at the airport. We did this and was told we would be picked up in 25 mins. After... More

When my husband told me we would be staying at the Sofitel in San Francisco I was excited. I had been to the Sofitel in LA and had fond memories of a large luxurious bathroom and some kick-you-know-what chocolate mousse that I still remember after over 10 years. Our room was underwhelming despite the great bed (which I did not... More

Booking and Reception/Check-In & Concierge? Great! Valet & Bellstaff? Great! Room? A suite which has seen the best of days, sub average! Roomservice & Restaurant? Horrible! That's the summary, in detail the food missed to live up to any standard at all times, Burger burnt the first night, Spinach on Eggs Florentine old and starting to have the rotten taste,... More

I general a good hotel, with nice service, clean rooms, but they miss to fill up the bathrooms with soap, etc., so I had to ask for soap. More a business hotel, than a turist hotel.

Crowne Plaza quality with a Sofitel brand.. I am qualified to make this statement since I stayed here for a week upon moving to Calfornia 20 years. The hotel lobby and restaurant have been fully updated in the past 10 years. In the same period, rooms received a little more than a paint job - a new sink, tub and... More

I was in California on business with oracle. This hotel is within walking distance to oracle head quarters. If you don't plan to do anything but business then this is a good location. If you want to see sites then I would recommend staying in San Fran not at this hotel. It s in an office park. The hotel was... More
