I recently stayed at Hotel Vertigo and found it to have a unique charm, especially with its Hitchcock inspiration and stylish decor. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore many of San Francisco's famous attractions. However, the reception experience was a bit lacking in warmth, and breakfast options were quite limited, steering me towards nearby eateries for better choices.
Rooms
8.0
The room I stayed in was clean and quite comfortable, equipped with all the necessary amenities. The shower had great pressure, and I appreciated the attention to cleanliness overall, though the bathroom vent could use a bit more regular cleaning.
Service

While I received help with taxi arrangements, the reception staff didn't strike me as particularly welcoming. It felt more transactional than attentive during my interactions.
Location

The hotel's location was a highlight for me, as it provided easy access to key attractions like Union Square and Chinatown, all within walking distance. It also offered a quiet retreat from the city's hustle.
Dining

Breakfast offerings were quite sparse, mainly just pastries without any spreads like butter or jam, which was disappointing. However, I easily found a great cafe across the street better suited for my morning cravings.
Facilities

The basic amenities like coffee and tea were a nice touch, and I appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of the space. However, there could be improvements on the breakfast front and perhaps some added facilities.

I recently stayed at Hotel Julian while celebrating my birthday in San Francisco. The hotel certainly had its charms, with comfortable rooms filled with natural light, but I noticed it lacked some amenities that bigger resorts typically offer (like a restaurant). The area was great for touring, which compensated for any shortfalls in facilities.
Rooms

My room was cozy and clean, with plenty of natural light (I felt like I could spend my entire stay just soaking it in). However, some improvements could be made with cleanliness in certain areas, especially considering the ongoing construction.

The hotel didn't have an in-house restaurant or breakfast options, which I found a bit disappointing (I do enjoy starting the day with a good meal). Luckily, the area has plenty of dining choices nearby.
