Stayed here as part of our Calfornian road trip for our honeymoon. I was really looking forward to reaching San Francisco and excited at the thought of staying at the Vitale having read reviews on this site. What a disappointment! This hotel is a business hotel and nothing more. The staff are really impersonal and we felt as though we were in the way of the more important business guests.
Car parking was a complete rip-off at $45 per night, couldn't quite belive it when we arrived and was by far the most expensive of all the various Californian hotels we stayed at.
The only plus point in it's favour was the location. It was great to walk along the front to the piers and has great views of Bay bridge. It's about a 15 minute walk to Union square and all the shops.
I never ate at the hotel because we didn't want to give them any more money but there are plenty of decent restaurants in the vicinity, so you don't have to spend time in the hotel bar that is dominated by the above mentioned business clients.
Above all very disappointed and don't be fooled by the hotel website...reality paints a very different picture.
