    While views are excellent on top floors, rooms are tiny, especially by Starwood platinum standards. The W, St. Regis, and Palace are all excellent Starwood properties within minutes walking distance.

    Try to get a room higher up. Worth it for the beautiful sf view. Could see Alcatraz as well as part of the golden gate bridge. Great location.

    It's in a great location! Not too far from union square, and it's extremely easy to catch a cab. I'd recommend doing the "free breakfast buffet" upgrade with your stay, it is well worth it.

    A solid, modern Starwood property in the FiDi. Since becoming a Park Central, they've done away with room service, a bit of a downer. However, plenty of good stuff nearby (incl. Super Duper Burger).

    Best Starwood property in the city. Even though it is no longer a Westin, the high-quality remains and the service is great. Faye at the front desk made sure my visit was one to remember.

    Great service here when an employee went way above & beyond the call of duty for me. During BART outage -- employee offered to drive me to airport himself due to taxi shortage. Amazing gesture.

    The view from rm. 2001. Get it. Also, don't put things in the mini bar, request a separate fridge or you will be $$$.

    When they're cleaning the bathrooms, they put up a sign saying they're being "renewed" á la Logan's run. And the stall does go all the way to the floor. Great for some quick sex.

    The cleaning staff has done an excellent job honoring my request for only decaf coffees and teas being left in my room! They remember every day!

    Rooms ending in #26 are on a corner and they have floor to ceiling windows on 2 sides From higher floors they have amazinng city view. They are a little smaller, but cozy and the view is worth it :)

    Meh. Rooms are fine. A little worn. Ant gym is way too small for a hotel of this size. 🐜 Ask for a room on a higher floor for great views, and complimentary drink tickets when you check in

    This is more of Sheraton with Westin branding slapped on it. Better to stay at the W down the block

    The suites are not so sweet people. While roomy & spacious, the furniture and wet bar area looked battered & scratched up...dare I say ghetto for almost $500/night?! And NO free wifi either. C+

    You want to workout at 6am? Are you crazy? The hardcore road warriors at this hotel fill up every square inch of the gym by 5:45am. Slacker.

    Rooms ending in 10 are smallish. Overall, nice rooms, great location too. Try the wine tasting bar around the corner on 3rd street.

    Don't expect your key to work on the first try. Hasn't in my last three visits here. This last time, the front desk's system was down so it took twice as long to check in (manual credit card info).

    They let me check-in at 8:30 AM on a Friday! Also gave me late checkout on Sunday - thanks Westin! Super clean, updated hotel, amazing location.

    A pretty solid hotel, with generally friendly staff. There are a few guys at the front desk who are a bit too full of themselves, but that shouldn't impact your stay much.

    If you are not on SPG , do it. You will get for sure on a higher floor with a view.

    Room 1807's air conditioning doesn't work, neither does the display on the alarm clock. If you go green (passing house keeping) you get a $5 drink credit. Good luck finding where to use it!

    Nice but some really weird things like $15 WiFi per device and a mini bar fridge with no space to put anything of your own-would have to call for a second fridge

    Park at Hearst Parking Garage. $26 for 24 hours. Way cheaper than the $60 a night valet. The garage is 45 3 rd street.

    If you have a group of 5 or more headed to the airport, inquire with the valet/concierge about car service. Often times, that can take your peeps for less than two taxis. Save money.

    Centrally located .. I guess it's a business hotel.. no fridge or mini bar in the room .. am quite neutral.

    Rooms vary in size and quality. Definitely don't hesitate to request a room change if you get the short end of the stick. The Room77 app / site helps.

    Possibly the worst run hotel in SF. Regularly overbooks during conferences and then sends guest to other hotels when they run out of rooms. Desks clerks completely unapologetic about the practice.

    Beds are sooo uncomfortable it's ridiculous. Always long lines at the concierge, they are nice enough. Bathtub makes so much noise I felt like I was going to fall through the floor. Too expensive.

    We were moved into 3 diff rooms w/in 24 hrs of being here. Insane. 1st rm (1224) wasn't what we paid for & 2 small for 2 people! 2nd rm (2510) small, great view, tv was broken! 3rd rm (1506) decent.

    Platinum guests - take the breakfast option as your perk instead of the 500 points - much better deal & great breakfast!
