Nice affordable property that is conveniently located to many dining and music spots. The room was a nice size and had a fridge and microwave. The menu for the on-site restaurant didn't look appealing or well priced, but many options nearby to offset that. The rooftop is a nice place to unwind. We would stay here again.

Absolutely fantastic experience! Our room was ready 3 hours early and we were allowed to check in. The staff was so helpful and attentive. We loved the large room, beautiful bathroom, and the 1500 club on the top floor was simply outstanding, with hreat views and a beautiful place to relax. Had dinner at the restaurant with live Jazz, enjoyed the jacuzzi, and the all-day hot beverages was such a treat! The location was so convenient, walkable to lots of locations, shopping, yransit, cable-cars. Will definitely stay again!

Parking fee is reasonable for SF. What we didn’t like is the check out time of 10 am. I have stayed at many hotels but have never been to a hotel with a check out of 10 am. I don’t think that is normal.

This was a great place to stay! It was very close to the city transportation and shopping. At night, the area to the south was a bit sketchy but in order to enter the hotel at night, you have to scan your key card so that made us feel way better. The room was very large and clean! Definitely would love to stay here again in the future!

Until my final morning, I would have given the Donatello five stars in every regard, hands down. That changed. The problem I encountered was at check-out. They have a 10am check-out time, which is a little early, but definitely not ridiculous. However, many might expect it to be the more standard 11am, as I did. I would suggest they explicitly let guests know, verbally, about the check-out time upon check-in. I did realize early that morning that check-out was 10am. I packed, made a pretty quick trip to their fitness center, and returned to my room no later than 9:50, just enough time to take a quick shower and zip my suitcase. I was already locked out of my room at 9:50: my key card no longer worked. So I had to go down to the lobby, where I was met by attitude and noticeably curt behavior from a previously friendly desk attendant. She had to make a a new room key. I made it back to my room by 9:58, trying my best to hurry. (Of course, it still was before check-out time). At 10:02, housekeeping knocked on my door to get in, even though I had the "do not disturb" marker on the door. In the end I checked out by 10:15. A 15 minute grace period doesn't seem unreasonable. Of course, I would have checked out just on time had I not been locked out of my room. It was a stressful process and I must say left a bad taste in my mouth. Despire it being a really good stay until then, it was enough to make me not wish to stay there on my next trip to San Francisco.
