The Westin St Francis Hotel is a monument to San Francisco history. It survived the Great Earthquake of 1906, and is truly a monument to this city. My wife & I were staying here to attend a conference. We chose this admittedly mainly because of the pre-eminent name of the St Francis in the history of SF. But what is... More

My first room has amazing panoramic views but the Murphy bed was extremely uncomfortable so I switched rooms. The heavenly bed in the second room was perfect although my view wasn't. The location is perfect for shopping, exploring and people watching in the plaza. The hotel character is reflexive of a beautiful era long gone. I appreciated all the opulence... More

The hotel is really nice, but I can't say it was amazing. Location is good, staff was good. As a Starwood-affiliated hotel, it met my expectation. If you are going for business, or just a few nights b/c you'll be touring the city, it'll work just fine! If you want more of a hotel experience, then maybe look elsewhere.

Want to love this place as it is in the perfect location. However, after staying many times over the years, I realize just how how horrible it is vs the rest of the global Westins. I didn't get my room made, yes, I left late (around lunch time) and didn't come back until midnight ... but no turn down service??!... More

Thank you for staying with us and thank you for your loyalty to Starwood and the Westin brand. I am so sorry you did not enjoy your time with us. I agree our location is perfect but our goal is to exceed our guests expectations in other ways. Because you were not satisfied with your complimentary Platinum breakfast, I would... More
