Rooms were huge and well appointed. Even for the level of Hotel, the mini-bar was absurdly expensive. Lack of hotel bar open all day for food was frustrating.

I have stayed here twice now for business, and it is my preferred hotel as it is not direct downtown or Tenderloin, but very close, as I no longer feel safe as a solo woman in SF. It is a shame what has become of this city, but this hotel is a good option.

Gorgeous Hotel
The Fairmont is a beautiful hotel with a grand feel. You are treated like a special guest as soon as you drive up. My room was spacious. My only slight issue was the placement of the TV. It wasn’t to the right of the bed when you lay down to relax which made it harder to see the screen.

Fabulous as always!
We left a different (cheaper) hotel to stay here because we had stayed at The Fairmont years ago on our honeymoon. You get what you pay for! The Fairmont is clean, beautiful and lovely as ever, and the neighborhood felt safe and clean. We were so happy to stay here! We had a beautiful room, great service, and really enjoyed our time here.

Not worth the money
Not worth the money, very small bedroom, extremely small bathroom. The cheapest pillows and bedding. I asked for a foam pillow, they said yes and just put more layers of pillow case… Not bad but many other hotels in the city are way better and way cheaper, just go and take pictures, don’t stay

Booking incorrect on hotels.com
We were booked on the wrong date, I rebooked thru the main desk for 0ct 6 instead of Oct 5. I was on the phone for 2 hours, we need a refund, very upsetting we couldn’t get anyone to help us yesterday, late when we realized it. It’s our 40th anniversary and we have stayed many years. Hotels.com needed to reach out to us after being bounced around on the phone to many different people with no resolve.
