Masked intruder with gloves breaks...

Liked: A MASKED INTRUDER entered my hotel suite, with gloves and everything I was butt naked and he saw me and ran off, hoped the fence and was gone. I already have PTSD so I can’t stress how traumatic this seemingly to the hotel, insignificant occurrence this happen to be. I called the front desk asked him to call the police and he said he would, then he said he had but I found out later he never had. They had the entire thing on camera which they still refuse to let me see. The owner apologizes and offers me a free night, then refuses to respond to my calls, the hotel blocks my #. I go in and am told that I’m now 86’d reason being they don’t allow locals and I’ve got an sf id. No im not, no I dont. I showed him my id. No response except that I needed to leave the property. The worst part is the staff let it slip that the same exact thing happened weeks earlier. So if you’re a woman or don’t travel with security or just don’t agree with hotels silencing and punishing victims for speaking up for themselves then BOYCOTT THE NOB HILL HOTEL!

Bad experience

Disliked: I recently stayed in a room in San Francisco, and unfortunately, it was a very unpleasant experience. The room itself was in poor condition, with a strong, unpleasant smell throughout. The bathroom was also a concern, as I encountered cockroaches or similar pests in the shower, which was quite disturbing. To make matters worse, during the night, someone attempted to enter my room, which made me feel unsafe and very uncomfortable.Additionally, the room was situated above a bar or nightclub, so the noise level was unbearable, with loud sounds going on until very late at night. I found it difficult to sleep at all, especially given how unhygienic and unsettling the environment was. After just one night, I decided to check out early because I couldn’t tolerate staying there any longer.I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and safe stay in San Francisco.

A very cute and comfortable...

Liked: Room 405A. Nice, well maintained, great footed bathtub, excellent hot water in the tub. This is a residential hotel mainly and the monthly tenants are quiet and hospitable.
Disliked: Can't think of anything that I did not enjoy. If you don't want a shared bathroom, make sure you specify a room with a private bath. It costs a little bit more, but was worth it to me at my age.
