Downtown SF in decline
PROS: Good central location near Union Square and transit. Excellent service. Everyone was so nice! Our room was spacious and comfortable. CONS: Mattress was marginally supportive with terrible pillows, we both had stiff necks. Unfortunately, Our stay was marred by the poignant audible shouting of nearby hotel worker strikers. I don’t recommend going back until the striker’s needs are met.

Great location and friendly staff
We enjoyed our stay at The Donatello, it was very centrally located so we were able to get around and see all the sights with cable car just a short walk away as well as Union Square and Japantown. We had a car so used their valet parking which was excellent, everyone we encountered on our stay were amazing and could not have been more helpful to us. The only downside was the noise outside with a few protests starting early in the morning as well as homeless people screaming throughout the night. The hotel can’t do anything about this so I recommend bringing some ear plugs or something. Overall a very good stay and would recommend.

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!

Parking fee is reasonable for SF. What we didn’t like is the check out time of 10 am. I have stayed at many hotels but have never been to a hotel with a check out of 10 am. I don’t think that is normal.

This was a great place to stay! It was very close to the city transportation and shopping. At night, the area to the south was a bit sketchy but in order to enter the hotel at night, you have to scan your key card so that made us feel way better. The room was very large and clean! Definitely would love to stay here again in the future!
