jose, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is part of a club that I was offered inducements to join. I prefer a hotel that makes the bed every day, provides fresh towels every day and tidys the room daily.

Really nice sized rooms with plenty of amenities. Club level lounge for morning coffee is very nice. Staff is extremely helpful.

We loved our stay at The Donatello. Great location, one block to Union Square and all the transport is within walking distance to get anywhere. Room was well laid out with a basic kitchenette. Loved the gym and spa facilities. Our favourite was the club lounge, gorgeous area to enjoy a complementary coffee. Highly recommend.
Janelle, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved the layout of the hotel. The clubhouse upstairs on the top floor was a great place to start your day with coffee or tea. Filter water saves on plastic bottles. Transportation was all around us, so getting places was simple.

4/10 Fair

Downtown SF in decline
PROS: Good central location near Union Square and transit. Excellent service. Everyone was so nice! Our room was spacious and comfortable. CONS: Mattress was marginally supportive with terrible pillows, we both had stiff necks. Unfortunately, Our stay was marred by the poignant audible shouting of nearby hotel worker strikers. I don’t recommend going back until the striker’s needs are met.
