Had to get a room for one night last minute on a holiday weekend. Found a great deal on Hotel Tonight app and just needed a place to crash and shower. Kensington had a very helpful staff, evening and check out. The room was expected to be small, but it was suffice for two girls looking to shower and rest... More

This is at the top end of a 3 star rated hotel - it could easily be a higher rating if the old boys club (the Elks) that take up the lower floors shared their toys (spa, handball court etc.) As a solo woman traveler, the location couldn't be better. A stone throw from Union Square and 4 short blocks... More

My husband and I showed up for out first overnight with out our three little kids in five year. We were tired and in need of a break. Immediately when we arrived at the hotel we noticed that we had walked into an alternate universe. Service with a more than just a smile, we suddenly transformed from tired parents into... More

First trip to San Francisco and we were delighted with the location of this hotel and the accommodation provided. Staff were friendly and helpful and it's close to shops and restaurants plus the all-important cable cars!

I stayed there over the Easter weekend with my daugther and we had only good experiences. Close to a lot of SF attractions, e.g. Chinatown, Market Street etc. Service is professional, not overly engaged or friendly, but we had no issues with anyone. The flair of the hotel is quite continental, a bit strange in decoration, but for a hotel... More

Stayed for the weekend for a wedding. Great location...right next to Union Square. Very kind and attentive staff. Gloria at the front desk was especially nice, allowing me to check-in early before my friend with the actual reservation had arrived. The consiglieres were also very helpful with local eateries and hotspots and provided easy shuttle setups to and from the... More

We have been staying at the Kensington Park hotel for several years. It is always welcoming, squeaky clean and you can't beat the location. I have read many reviews here about the hotel and there are 2 common complaints- the rooms are small and no A/C. Well, the rooms are not huge, but they are comfortable and if you are... More

Great hotel with a great location. Very friendly staff. We brought our pup which was awesome. Perfect walking distance from food, shopping, and entertainment. Will come back!

We stayed at the Kensington Park Hotel for three nights. Whilst the room was clean and the room service good, the rooms were very small and the bathroom was dated. This is primarily an Elks Hotel and certain amenities are only available to Elks. The staff were very polite and the concierge helped us a great deal with his knowlege... More

This hotel is reasonably priced. Like most other hotels in the city they charge an arm & a leg for parking ($36 for cars/$40 for SUVs & trucks + 14% tax) ouch. This and the fact that there is no air conditioning are the only two major drawbacks. The staff is very polite & willing to send a fan to... More
