What people say

When leaving our luggage after our early morning arrival, we LOVED the fact that they let us check in to our room several hours early! They offered it to us unsolicited, which would be totally unheard of in most hotels! Loved the daily complimentary water, yoga, & 24-hr fitness room. We highly recommend this hotel; My husband and I have both travelled extensively and the Hotel Vitale staff knows how to do things right! We will definitely stay here again if in San Francisco.
all reviews » our second stay here. We live locally but have events in SF. This hotel is our first choice. Fab location and Hotel. We had a corner room which looked out to the ferry building and the street cars. Hip boutique hotel. This visit the only - was the fan constantly blowing in the room/bath. I slept in the robe for I was cold. If I turned on the heat the room would have been hot for the others. easy to walk around and pick up a cab here. -Hotel is a boutique hotel, without guests from tour travel companies. -Room very comfortable and quiet, despite facing main street Embarcadero. -From hotel, take walk to Embarcadero to Fisherman's wharf (45min). -Hotel is opposite to Market Place (Ferry Building), with many small food shops and good places where to eat. Go to Hog's Oyster Bar. Great location. The room we booked wasn't available so 3 out of 4 days we were upgraded to an ocean view room which was fantastic! Good terrace bar with views of the ocean and ferry building. Right by tram for quick access to Union Square shopping, piers. Loved the outside space... on the balconies! Met friends for a drink out there, enjoyed the sunshine, the bay view, and even saw a wedding on the upper balcony! Room was wonderful too! Very comfortable and clean!. The location to the att ballpark and Ferry Building and other great restaurants I have stayed a nunber of times and love the bay bridge lights rooms and the outside bathtub experience at the spa. We like everything from the bell boy. to the desk person at check in and check out. The service was outstanding. The location was beautiful and romantic. All the resturant food was the best. everything was perfect,hotel staff always smile,large room,comfort bed,well design,i lose my ring in the room,staff keep it safely until i back to the hotel.

Location of the Embarcadero. Most everything was great. Location, decor, staff. location! View!. Design and food. great location. The bay view. Great staff. atmosphere. everything. location. view. Overall, it was a good experience particularly because of the wonderful views from the 7th floor terrace and the hotel's location to the Ferry Building and many great restaurants. Liked location which was walkable to friends and relatives - also in an area where meals were readily available upon late arrival from airport... Hotels location, bed and bed linens were lovely. The surrounding community. The shower. It has easy access to Buses, and Trains stop in front of the hotel. Room configuration did not allow for late night reading without disturbing others, but the flashlight made it "work". just the room fan blowing. -Parking 50$ per night without any possibility for street parking. -Bathroom with only shower. -No coffee inside room, but coffee available in the lobby. Advertise "city lights" room which ended up being the view of nothing Very expensive. Panhandlers ( not the Hotels fault ). nothing. slightly slow to respond to a small engineering request (drain clearing)..had to ask twice; no paper on Sunday, lack of hooks on back of doors, or towel rings in sink area. Not nearly enough room to unpack clothes etc. from suitcase--no real drawer space. The hotel is looking a little tired and is in need of a facelift. It seemed to be far more business-client based and this meant lots of men and women in suits being very loud and making it difficult to find a seat in the bar most evenings!. no parking at the motel....had to park a block away and it was really a problem... Menu limited and not really to our tastes but that is personal. No parking other than paying an astronomical daily rate. The room itself was no nicer than an upscale airport hotel. That I had to leave. Drinks at americano. No coffee maker in room. low floor room ok - not worthy of high price. My room rate (for the same room was $200 a night higher on Monday night than it was on the weekend. I would rather that the rate be averaged out over the 4 days that I stayed. It makes me feel foolish to pay $200 a night more for the very same room that I stayed in the night before. It reflected a total amount when I booked it. Didn't realize the disparity in the daily rates until I checked out. n/a. We were not able to use the bar for two early evenings because of the crush of "after 5" people.Room service menu was unusable for most. For the high price, they really should provide a complimentary breakfast. Nothing. someone hit our car while parked in front of the hotel (boohoo!). No pool. we were promised a comp night and did not get it. they upgraded us to a view room which is the same view from our home in mill valley. the hotel did not credit us with a 350.00 credit and i spent months and many hours researching the item only to fin d out the hotel never made the journal. Nothing. tub had hairs in it so didn't bathe. Bed was hard a lumpy. You had to request a coffee pot, and the parking fee. For this hotel, we expected all hotel staff to be courteous and professional. While most met our expectations, there were one or two who were not very friendly or they simply lacked any genuine sense of hospitality. Inside room w frosted windows, so no view - so very dark and claustrophobic - only one chair (desk chair) - for the $ there should definitely be an upholstered easy chair. Promised NYTimes but forgot, did not refill minibar the entire time, breakfast for 2 arrived on a tray which had to squished onto the top of the desk with my mirror and cosmetics. No one was concerned that both guests could sit at a table to dine... The room's decorative ornaments were very dusty. Lampshade was stained. Not what you expect for $500 a night, not including parking. Room was dirty especially the bathroom. The price for such a small room. The image of the hotel on the internet is SPA like. In real it is a very simple setting. Ideal for long stay, or business visit,as it is near the business district. Not recommended for leisure visit as it is away from the piers and all the action during the day. Rooms was clean, however old. Sofa was ripped. We Requested a room with city view, and we got a view of the business offices across the street. NOT a good value for me.
