Terrible experience
One of the worst customer service experience I have had in years with hotels in general. Very rude front desk staff at check in and no idea how to manage my reservation with one confirmation number but 2 different rooms under 2 different names. Only one person to bring luggages and he was a break for a long time. I had to ask manager to find someone to bring all the luggages up which normally I would just do it myself but this time there were a lot and I was by myself with 4 kids. I don't recommend this place to anyone.

Missed opportunity
This hotel doesn't honor VIP elite benefits although its registered as a hotels.com vip elite hotel. It only recognises IHG members. I would have picked another hotel if I had known otherwise. The hotel restaurant abaca is excellent.

Best service ever
Fantastic property but the real prize is the staff! Best experience I have had in years maybe ever. Every single staff member I engaged with over the phone or in person was incredible. To top this off my room was immaculate and stylish and the bedding was very comfortable. Thank you for a great stay!

1st Thanksgiving family trip
We stayed here for 1 night to visit my sisters in the Bay Area. We had our 2 kids with us so staying at a hotel was non negotiable. I found this hotel which was close to fisherman’s wharf, pier 39, Ghirardelli, and across the street from Surisan! All walking distance which we didn’t mind. We rather walk than find parking! Service was amazing, I forgot her name but she used to be a preschool teacher if I remembered. She was amazing! Absolutely loved her. Stay was comfortable and highly recommend. Def will add another night next time! The next morning, we had breakfast at Abaca downstairs. They open from 7a-10a. IT. WAS. AMAZING. Their service was impeccable! Going back to that place as well! Thank you for your service. We will be back soon!

Okay
The hotel is okay not excellent as the shower have only half food and was not a sliding close shower door so we had use with water splashing out to the restroom floor.
The free wine and free drinks were a plus. Great compliment
The restaurant was pricey for the amount of food on a plate.

Great stay at the Alton.
This hotel had an amazing view of the ocean and Alcatraz. Our room was in a King bed suite and chose the waterside view. It felt safe and there was always someone outside to help. They had dependable valet which made us feel better about parking.
We didn’t get an opportunity to try out the restaurant but the menu looked good.
We enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to be in a good location close to many tourist attractions.

Nice stay near the Wharf!
Nice one night stay after a short vacation in the SF area. Great location for walking to bars, restaurants and the Fisherman’s Wharf. Hotel did a nice job arranging for our car to be accessible for an early morning departure before the valets were there.

Staffs were exceptionally friendly. Property was not bad but felt pretty outdated and old. Don’t think it is a 4.5 Star hotel but a 3.5 to 4.0 Star hotel.
