“Palihotel San Francisco intrigues with its blend of historic charm and boutique style, setting it apart from larger, more generic hotels. I think it's a solid choice for design-minded travelers who appreciate the California-centric decor and convenient location near Union Square. The complimentary wine and beer hours, along with the 24-hour concierge, are thoughtful touches that enhance the overall experience, in my opinion.”

The room was somewhat cold, and I had some trouble getting the heater to work properly. The WiFi was spotty.

Reasonable experience overall

good locationrestaurant barfront officedaily deposit
the location is good. there are many things to eat and see nearby. the room included a clean room. the hotel provides a restaurant bar inside the hotel, its very convenient.
the front office presented with a mess. one front office executive even asked us to leave after we questioned the daily $100 deposit. of the four charges, only one has been reversed. we stayed at other hotels and had all deposits reversed, but these three remain unreturned.
