    The Otis elevators towards the back are a must ride.

    Love the wide hallways and mini chandeliers in the rooms! The regal decor and ambience is everything I expected from the St. Francis.

    Could be a beautiful property but is poorly maintained. Chateau Montelena winery tasting room in the lobby is the highlight.

    Ask for a room in the Towers. The other, older section of the hotel has dark rooms and thin walls.

    Take the BART from SFO. Simple. Fast. And drops you off in the heart of Union Square, just 2 blocks from the Westin.

    It's loud. The 3am trash collection sounds like godzilla outside the tower. Also bring plenty of long cord chargers because the outlets in this wing couldn't be laid-out any worse

    Make sure to check out this place from the ceiling to the floor. Beautiful architecture and detail.

    Check out the Imperial Room on the 32nd floor for killer views. The ride up the glass windowed elevator is worth it by itself!

    Ask to stay in the old part of the hotel. Rooms are a tad smaller but bigger on character.

    Here for a conference? If you need lotion, just ask the front desk for some. Awesome.

    Nothing like ending the night with an absinthe from The Clock Bar. Professionals only please... And you'll still probably want to head up to your room before you finish it ...

    At elevators enter floor number & insert room key in slot. Elevator only goes to your floor

    If you plan on using the hotel Internet here, bring an ethernet cable. The regular $14.95 wireless service is super weak.

    Not impressed at all. Had to move rooms as my 1st room smelled of vomit. The carpet & colour pallet is from a bygone era. Having trouble connecting to guest WiFi. That's a serious problem...

    Silent film comic Fatty Arbuckle's career crashed down when a party he hosted at this hotel resulted in the death of young actress Virginia Rappe in 1921. President Ford was also shot at here in 1975.

    If you're giving a presentation in a Westin conference room, think visually. Presentations are better with words AND pictures. More communication tips at www.carminegallo.com
