    Needs some love

    The view from our suite was extraordinary. That made our stay worthwhile. But the hotel needs some love. The paint is chipping, and the service is subpar. We checked in Thursday, our room was not ready. The hotel clerk took our info and said she would text us … we explored the city, came back and found two chairs in a hallway. No word. Finally, I stood in a long line at the desk, only to find our room had been ready for quite a while. They forgot to text. That same day, an older concierge bordered on rude as he responded to a question about cable car tickets. Turns out, he gave us incorrect information, including the wrong price. What kind of a SF hotel concierge doesn’t know about cable cars? Next morning, our breakfast room service order was lost. After more than an hour wait, they comped one order of toast, $8 on a $100 order. We tried the dining room the next morning. They were only offering a buffet, which was not worth the $50 per person. Limited choices, only unripe melon for fruit. The Thanksgiving dinner was ok, except for the desserts. They tasted like they were from Costco. Again, the room was lovely and the suite incredible. But I think I will return to my much loved Marriotts next trip to the city by the Bay. They always take care of me.

    Home Away from Home

    Arrived very early with no luggage (long story). Hotel had my room ready and stocked with every supply they could find (including sneakers from the Fairmont Fit... so I could walk to local shops to get what I still needed). Thanks to this excellent service, I was just fine until my luggage arrived and could happily enjoy beautiful SF and all the beauty of this historic property!

    Top notch!

    We had such a great stay here. We stayed in the tower and really enjoyed our room. The service was amazing - turn down service every night without even requesting. The bathroom had a bath tub and Le Labo products. The bed was very comfortable. It's also in a great location. We would definitely stay here again!

    Fairmont SFO

    It's a tiring climb to the top of the highest hill in town. But the view was worth it The hotel is very historical, there is a corridor introduction, many famous people

    Mixed experience

    Fantastic views, but major irritant is the nickel-and-diming of guests, extra charges for internet as an example. Yes, Accor members have internet charges credited @checkout, but that also doesn't go well with $500 room pricing - and is not posted anywhere! Short-sighted.
