I stayed at the Westin St Francis on a short business trip. Room 769 is an adequate, older style room but with a big draw back. It apparently backs onto the elevator banks. I am not a particularly light sleeper but I didn't get much sleep that night. The elevator mechanism noise was a constant during the night and kept... More

Obviously the major selling point of the Westin St. Francis is its location right on Union Square. This is an excellent place to stay if you're coming to San Francisco for the first time and want to have access to the cable cars, Fisherman's Wharf (take the MUNI trams for $2 instead of the cable car for $6),and the other...

I really enjoyed what the personal staff did for my girlfriend and me during our stay. However, the management and administrative/desk staff caused more problems than they fixed, and this ultimately forced me to rate the hotel as 2 stars instead of 3. My stay at the Westin St Francis this past weekend was a mixture of good and bad.... More

We recently stayed at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco for a medical conference. The location of the hotel is excellent as it is right on Union Square. The hotel lobby is nice and has a real S.F. feel to it, however, the rooms are not very good especially for the price. The beds and linens are nice but... More

My daughter recently had her nuptials at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco...and what a wonderful, thoughtfully prepared ceremony! The staff had the wedding and reception venues prepared in a timely manner. All our expectations were professionally met and the guests in attendance commented on the beauty of the wedding with the San Francisco skyline as a romantic and... More

Having read the reviews - I wasn't certain what to expect during my two night stay at the hotel... I liked the hotel - it is right in the heart of Union Square - shopping, eating, etc. I am a SPG member - my room was in the Tower on the 23 floor. The room was large and had a... More

Very regal hotel....we stayed in newer building...older building seemed stale! Staff was pleasant. The gym was small but adequate. The best part? Location, location, location! T is smack in the middle of everything with easy access to the city!

I think the location is great. Right in union square. Shopping and places to eat everywhere. The rooms are a little drab and small. We got the grande deluxe room in new tower. They said it was nicest suite. I do not want to know what a average room looks like. The halls are freezing and smell a little of... More

Stayed 3 nights recently in a room in the older part of the hotel. The room was clean, bed comfortable but the room was small for the 2 of us with 2 large suitcases. Not enough room to unpack so basically lived out of the suitcase for the 3 days. I asked the receptionist if we had the correct room... More
