Bit of background on why we chose this hotel - we researched countless hotels in the area before deciding on this one. Most of the hotel in the area have decent sleeping areas, what we were dreading were the tiny outdated bathrooms and the single paned windows. This hotel being new, it had excellent sized bathrooms and new windows.
We stayed at the Intercontinental San Francisco from August 30 to September 3 in room 2917 which is a deluxe king room. We had originally booked a Classic king, asked that we be away from the elevator on a high floor, I also notified them that it was my significant other's birthday celebration trip. When we got there, they not only satisfied our wishes and upgraded us, hours later into the evening, someone came up with a small selection of deserts to wish him a happy birthday. We were extremely pleased, the concierge recommended excellent sites and an event at the California Academy of Science on that evening which we participated in. Overall, it was great, it was in SoMa, few blocks south of Union Square which is what we wanted. It was quiet and there were few sketchy characters in the area (there was only one close to the hotel which was in the morning around 9, oddly enough..).
We would gladly stay there again in the future.
