Desmond Hotel

“But the location was busy but not Particularly aggressive. I’d definitely stay there again for an interesting time. The amenities were clean tidy and well kept. For the price it’s definitely a bargain for ‘downtown’ San Francisco.”

“It’s a great location and the rooms a clean and comfortable. Enjoyed my stay and would stay here again”

“I know this place has gotten flak in other reviews, but it's truly a fantastic value. First of all, I made this reservation for the week of Dreamforce, a 170,000+ person conference every year -- you bet hotel prices can get crazy. For a Monday through Friday stay, I paid less than $500; most of my colleagues spent that PER NIGHT in San Francisco! How much time do you really spend in a hotel room during a conference anyway? Additionally, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Each day I had clean sheets, clean towels, and other amenities provided that I seriously didn't expect. Sure, the shared bathroom/showers took some getting used to, but I literally never had to wait for someone to finish up so I could use these facilities. The location is also hard to beat -- a half-mile walk to the Moscone Center. Unbelievable at this price! Also wanted to address a common criticism: The homeless people outside of the hotel. There's no denying that San Francisco has a serious homeless problem, and there are many homeless individuals that spend their time right outside of the hotel. That being said, I had no issues whatsoever. I'm a fairly small guy, alone, and I was able to stumble back to the hotel after 12 am by myself with problem. Others have reported being screamed at or aggressively panhandled by these individuals -- literally never happened to me. Of course, dressing below your means and keeping your eyes firmly forward always helps.”
