The Bartlett Hotel and Guesthouse, San Francisco

Bad

Liked: Good location
Disliked: Big lie about the beds in the room, we chose 2 separate beds, but instead we got one - a two level

Superb

Convenient location and the room...

Liked: Reasonably sized room with hard flooring, the bed was also surprisingly comfortable. Quiet in the hotel itself, there was some noise on the street outside early in the morning but probably no worse than anywhere else in the Union Square location.
Disliked: I couldn't leave bags at the end of my stay for collection later in the day. There is an arrangement with a souvenir shop opposite the Stratford hotel where you leave your bags for a fee.

Good

Pleasant

Liked: The location is quite central and really good connected via public transport.
Disliked: The bathroom was not that clean, you have to go around the corner to another hotel for a checkin, i arrived at 7.30pm and in the three days I stayed there only on one day the reception was occupied. That wasn’t communicated beforehand. As mentioned the location is great but you also a lot of drug abuse in the neighbourhood.

Exceptional

If you must be at...

Liked: Sparky clean room, bed and (private) bathroom; central location; passable WiFi
Disliked: Very noisy in the night; dated infrastructure; safe did not work; no regular room service; very expensive (?) but as prices in San Fran have gone overboard, I guess one must be happy to pay $450/night for a 2 star hotel during a major 4-day investor conference at the city center (Union Sq). Else, the Hilton is 2 blocks away but at a much higher price.

Clean and comfortable place to...

Liked: The room was clean and comfortable, and the location of the hotel is convenient for walking to some great spots in the city and to the beaches and wharves. The staff who were present were friendly and helpful.
Disliked: The room did not get any natural light and was dark most of the time. There was also some confusion regarding checking in - I had to check in at a different hotel's front desk, which I didn't know about prior to arriving at the Bartlett.

Not if you need accessibility

Disliked: I ended up not staying at the Bartlett. I requested a physically accessible room. When I arrived at the hotel, the sign at the hotel said I had to checkin at the Hotel Stratford around the corner on Powell. There, at check in, I was informed that there were to accessible rooms at the Bartlett so I was given such a room at Stratford. The room had bars and a bench in the shower ... but no shower curtain. I had to use most of the towels to keep the water contained.
