Why did we go back to a W Hotel? Only because we were attending a meeting in this hotel. I am TIRED of their snooty attitudes! They truly need to get over themselves. Nobody smiled. The agent that checked us in was borderline rude. We drove in and parked in their garage. It was $43 plus tax for a total... more

Nice hotel I suppose - service was really great. Small glitch with room service, but made up in quality of food. There were people all around quite willing to help. Breakfast was very good. They have a regular resturant as well as a faster juice/coffee bar with bagels, etc. and small tables for a quick bite. Our server for breakfast... more

The W San Francisco fully embodies Starwood's branding play for the trendy professional. It's in the perfect location if you're attending a conference at Moscone Center. I wouldn't recommend the W for families or a romantic getaway. Check-in and Check-out went smoothly. All employees were very courteous and friendly. The room was comfy with an upscale IKEA-like decor. Some things... more

We spent a great weekend there. The rooms are fantastic and very nicely designed (try to get a corner room) , the beds are heavenly and the location is fantastic. Try bliss SPA on the 4th floor- great and professional treatments. more

Me and my husband traveled to San Fransisco on vacation. We booked this hotel using our Starwood points, so I can't complain about the price. The room lokoed like it was remodeled. They advertise a heavenly shower but I would not say it was heavenly at all. The concierge was very helpful, as was the front desk staff. However, my... more

I stayed at the W for four nights to attend a conference at the Moscone Center. I've stayed there twice before and this stay was consistent with my prior experience. I've stayed in both the "Cool Corner" and "Spectacular" rooms. The "Cool Corner" rooms are larger and have better seating, although the desk area is larger in the "Spectacular" which... more

I was in San Francisco (again) the end of March, I had originally booked the Westin on Market and Third. But due to my late flight, by the time we arrived at the Westin they were overbooked. The night manager gave us a letter and sent us over to the W. I have been in the W before for drinks,... more

Stayed for a 4 night business trip recently. Gets 3 starts for guest experience, and 1 more star for having a very lively lobby bar/lounge scene and a great location for business travelers. Corner Fabulous Room on high floor only had so-so views (certainly not "panoramic". Be sure to ask for Bay Bridge view rooms. Plenty of space in room,... more

My partner and I, both in our early 40s, stayed at the W for a weekend getaway from Los Angeles. If you're familiar with the W brand, it's very typical, with all the hipness you can stand. This hotel seems to be a bit more of a weekend destination than most. Friday and Saturday nights were quite the scene in... more

Had read some of the reviews and was a little nervous to book here. Despite its name and priciness, some of the reviews had been less than kind. However, my experience was surprisingly glitch-free. I arrived tired and cranky at 11 pm (yes, my plane was delayed, delayed, and delayed...!). However, Rebecca at check in was cheerful, sympathetic and helpful.... more
