Our stay at The Westin St. Francis was definately not as nice as we thought it would be. The hotel is very nice and clean, and we got a handicapped room so we had a nice big room/bathroom. The hotel also has a great location. One of our many issues was with the view. Instead of getting a lovely view of Union Square like we hoped, we got a view of a brick wall. Another problem we had was the air. According to the guide on the TV, The Westin St. Francis does something to the air in the rooms to help you relax more. But all it really did was cause us stress. The air was so dry that i woke up in the middle of the night every single night we stayed there with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. I know it was the air because it went away as soon as we left the hotel. Definately not the kind of thing you want on vacation. Also, they nickel and dime you for everything. The room had a fridge filled with snacks and drinks that you could pay for. However, they have sensors in the fridge so even if you move something they charge you. We moved a couple things to make room for our own drinks so we could keep them cold. And we were charged for everything we moved. Another odd thing about the hotel was that they didn't have a pool. Our family was looking forward to relaxing in the pool after a long day of sightseeing in San Fran only to find out that there was no pool. You would think that a famous, fancy resort like that would have a pool. Overall, I don't think it was worth the money and I would probably not stay here again.
