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.

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.

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.

We stayed here for a few days but I loved everything about it. The staff was very nice and accommodating. I felt safe inside the hotel. I really liked that at night they locked the doors and the only way in is with your key card for your room. The area of this hotel is located on the outskirts of the tenderloin. I feel like it’s located in a little better part of town than other hotels. It’s very convenient when you are walking all over San Francisco. We took the muni everywhere & it was only about a 5 minute walk to each bus stop around the area. It’s very close to the bart station & has a shopping center around. If I ever come back to San Francisco I would definitely stay here again. The room was very clean, the AC worked amazingly. Overall my stay was excellent. My only bad thing is a few hotels down the block there was a protest every day & it started pretty early in the morning so that was a little annoying but not the hotels fault.

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!
