Checkin process was slow. Paper copies of everything. Rooms were comfortable but warm. Windows had been left open by staff to allow ventilation but too noisy with ambulance and sirens sounds. After closing windows sound improved but was warm in room. Main floor breakfast (complimentary) included flavored yogurt, muffins, apples and granola bars! Not much to a breakfast but more of a snack bar. Neighborhood feels unsafe with graffiti and homeless people all around.

Unsafe location.
We couldn’t even check in our experience was so bad. Location felt unsafe from the beginning. We waited for valley for 15 minutes I went in and was told to go out and someone should be there. The lobby looked dingy and smelled. Even so I sat in my care with my young kids and senior parents about 15 minutes and we decided to just leave. It was awful.

A beautiful old building with lovely touches such as breakfast included and wine and cheese in the evening. Overall a good location however if you walk a couple of blocks in the wrong direction you wind up in the Tenderloin neighbourhood which isn’t the nicest part of San Francisco. Don’t miss dining at the izakaya across the street, it’s excellent.

I liked the vintage appeal of the property and the spacious rooms. The staff was friendly as well. However, the area around the hotel felt very unsafe, lots of homeless (more than other areas of the city), the tv was fuzzy, outlets didn’t work, and the beds were uncomfortable.

The staff when checking in, this older Asian lady, she was so rude and passive aggressive. When I got there and said hi I would like to check it, she gave me such a sarcastic smile and fake “Absolutely!” And then rolled her eyes. I have two dogs with me, and the hotel said pet friendly. I’ve never had to call ahead of time to let a hotel know if that’s how it’s advertised. Instead of kindly letting me know they’d appreciate if I put that in the notes, she lectured me about my dogs and how I should’ve known better and how I was inconveniencing her. Then she gave me a piece of paper with information on who was staying with me and the names of my dogs. My husbands name is Cuong and she asked me if that was a real name and was suggesting I spelt it wrong ? I couldn’t believe how she was treating me. At this point I was so shocked and I felt I couldn’t give her the attitude she deserved because she might’ve turned me away. Never coming back.

Great welcoming staff, very large entryway and lobby with nice seating and tables. Rooms are large, bathrooms are enormous, bathtubs are giant. Rooms often have a refrigerator and microwave. Lovely morning continental breakfast with good coffee and late afternoon wine with cheese and crackers. The area has several excellent restaurants, including Thai food, Indian food, and pizza.

Me and my family stayed at the big 5-6 person suite. The suite was very convenient and spacious with 3 beds and a couch. The kitchen was good too. - Clean: Rooms are very clean, only issues for me is that the carpets are kind of old. Nice bathrooms too. - Location: Great convenient location, in downtown and close to buses and Union Square. Also the Japanese restaurant across the street was great. - Safety: Its downtown so unfortunately you cannot avoid seeing any homeless. During the day time walking around was no problem BUT avoid walking around the streets south of the hotel during dark. - Quiet: It is a few blocks from a hospital so there are occasional siren sounds at night. All the front desk people were really nice.

We have stayed at the Beresford before and noticed this time how the bedroom with kitchen needed attention with fixtures and fittings that were hanging off or loose in the bathroom. We had very limited kitchen utensils and the little room was dark, old, and uninviting. The employment of a person to keep on top of the maintenance would be a good idea. Also our one window in the bedroom looked out onto a roof below that was littered with trash and rags, which was very unpleasant.
