    Great experience at the W in San Francisco. The remodeling made it hard to fully enjoy the hotel and lobby area as it used to be very fun and lively. I am sure the new remodel will be just as lovely. But the room we had was amazing. We were upgraded since they knew it was our 20th wedding anniversary. We are thankful to the great staff who made our stay lovely.

    After seeing all of that, I did not feel comfortable in the room and honestly felt like I was sleeping in a space that had not been properly cleaned. On top of that, the room was very noisy and we did not get good sleep. We called the front desk to ask about the noise, but they were not really able to do anything. Overall, this was a really disappointing stay, especially for a suite. I would consider other properties for future stays in San Francisco.

    One of my favorite parts of the trip was how easy it was to explore the city on foot. Start your morning with breakfast at The Grove, enjoy happy hour with bay views at Waterbar, and finish the evening with excellent sushi and Japanese cuisine at Ozumo. If you’d rather stay in, the hotel itself offers a great atmosphere for drinks, dinner, and relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The W combines a stylish, modern vibe with a prime downtown location, making it an excellent choice for anyone visiting San Francisco. I would definitely stay here again

We were there to celebrate our 17th year wedding anniversary and had nothing but great service. I just wish I had realized my stay included SF MOMA tickets so I could have planned accordingly and possibly visited. Oh well just another excuse to come again.

Only issue I had was with valet parking. it was very very annoying because they recommended to order your car 20mins in advance. I waited 1 hour and 20 mins for my car. I consistently checked with the valet parking managers and they lost the keys and couldn’t update me. I elevated the issue to managers, and they comped the $92 overnight parking. Other than this, I really enjoyed my stay, but maybe order your car 30mins to 40mins in advance rather than 20. Valet parking is also very hard to find, think the website needs more information on this. Just fyi, valet parking is super super tight fit since the entrance is also the exit.

    Eventually, they charged me for a new room and told me I would have get hotels.com to issue a refund. I had no idea what rate they were charging, but after a half hour getting no where, I took the room. The manager was very rude and told me he only uses the hotel website (of course, he works there!) and that it was Hotel.com's fault that the W did not have my reservation. Very frustrating, while music was blasting so conversation was almost impossible. I won't be returning to the W anytime soon.

    This day has been nothing short of excellent. The only bad thing I have to mention is I almost missed turning into the valet parking. That’s more of a San Francisco thing. It has nothing to do with the hotel. But seriously, this has been such an amazing trip out here I’m not a tourist at all. I’m very familiar with coming out to this city but when you stay at such an amazing hotel that treats you like royalty, it’s nothing less than perfect. From the moment I pulled into the valet, the attendant was super nice, very helpful, super attentive. When I walked into the reception area, I was greeted by the attendant who open the door for me and as well as Joshua, who is at the front desk. He was extremely professional and friendly, and it felt real personal in a great way. He acknowledged my familiarity with staying at the W and also acknowledged the fact that I knew my way around San Francisco. It’s been some time since I’ve been at this hotel, and I’ll definitely make sure I have another stay in the near future..

It's annoyingly restricted, but at least now they are being mostly honest about it. Wish they'd use fitted sheets. Normally I don't require daily room cleaning, but the sheets came loose every night and I was glad for them to come remake the bed each day. Place was very clean, but some of the upolstery was showing a bit of wear.

    The staff, except for the Valet and bartender, were not very friendly. I booked the room a month in advance, paid for, but upon arrival they tell me there is a "destination fee" of 40$ a day nonrefundable. Plus they put a $300 hold on my card. I was like whatever. Then they said we'll have a bottle of wine as a gift for our anniversary. They never fulfilled that promise and acted like it was never told to us upon checking in. It was an overpriced room. Wallpaper pealing. Toilet would not flush until you tried numerous times. Bed rock hard. Pillows horrible. The location to the bay was great but above that, I would never recommend the W to anyone. They took advantage of us and my bill was not reflective of the service or stay. Way too much for way too little. I'll stay elsewhere next time.

    The front desk staff and valets were wonderful. They checked us in early and gave us tips about a parade blocking streets the next day. We had bad service in the bar area but the manager of the bar came along eventually and made it all right.

    The hotel was clean, and the staff was very friendly. The area around the hotel was very walkable and clean, and very easy to catch an uber/lyft outside to anywhere you'd like to go. I would definitely stay here again the next time I decide to visit.

    Lovely hotel located so conveniently close to Moscone center and Metreon and SF MoMa. You are also within walking distance of good eateries. The corner room had a breathtaking view of the surrounding area and it was so cute and clean. Bed was comfortable as well. We had two complementary drinks at the bar as well. Overall I enjoyed our stay at W and will stay here again for sure.
