The Hilton in San Francisco has to be one of the worst hotel I have ever been in – do yourself a BIG favor, if you are traveling to SF DO NOT stay in this hotel.
For starters, as for the décor, I’m still trying to figure out if I have found the old tossed out set to the 1980s Dynasty TV program or if my grandmother simple threw up all over this hotel. I’ve never seen such outdated and stuffy looking furniture. If I were 70 I would think this was the best place. The chandeliers in the lobby are way beyond dramatic. The furniture in the room looks as if it came from a house where you looked at it, but never sat on it. There is nothing modern, hip, or edgy to this place.
My partner and I got the junior suit that was nothing more than a large room – and for this we paid $300 dollars a night. To be fair I got this room off of Hotel.com – and now I know that this hotel is selling rooms no one wants to hotel.com.
The hotel has a concierge – but every time I called I was put on hold and no one ever came back. Call the front desk – you might actually get a person who cares enough to give you 5 minutes. The concierge could care less – he/she was beyond helpless.
The lobby is the only place that has free wifi and thus is filled beyond capacity with people. In fact, there are people everywhere in the hotel. If you love to stay in hotel that are “cities” in and of themselves – you will love this place. This hotel is so large and has so many people in it its VERY overwhelming. Its like traveling through a maze just to get to your room.
The bathroom was super small in our room. The cabinet in the bathroom looked like they were hastily made of 2X4 pieces of wood and then painted – and they were coming apart to boot! There is absolutely no class in this place. High-end does not exist here.
And to top it off it is located in a part of town that is less than desirable. Less than a block away I came across a drunk homeless man peeing in a circle on the sidewalk – spraying urine everywhere.
Why anyone who cares about where they stay when they travel would stay at this hotel is beyond me. After this stay I will never stay at another Hilton again.
