10/10 Exceptional

I have stayed at the Kensington Park Hotel many times, and have always been pleased with the accommodations and the staff.The hotel is right on Union Square, within walking distance to shopping, Chinatown, North Beach and more. This time, I arrived approximately two hours before check-in time, and was so happy that I was able to check into my room early. It was very clean and well-appointed. The front desk staff and valet were very helpful. I enjoyed having the fancy water dispenser - with many kinds of water for water bottles - in the lobby. I will definitely stay here again!

It’s a 100 year old hotel with great character. Room was very roomy for a downtown location and would highly recommend it. Staff were super friendly as well.

Location is fantastic. The room was clean but dated. The sinks are far from standard, about 1-2 feet shorter than they should be. Very odd to have a sing reach maybe mid thigh (I’m 6’). Room was quite warm despite it being cool outside because the heater puts a great deal of heat into the closet which poured through the door. Window opened only 6” but cooled it enough for this time of year. Breakfast is coffee and tea (in 10oz cups) and individually packaged madeleine cookies. There is an Elks lodge and a theater in the building.

The room was a little small as it is an antique hotel. Great location and great service. The heater in my room didn't work & maintenance engineer was gone for the day, so they brought me a space heater that worked fine.

Well located in Union Square. The rooms are nice and both the bed and bedding are very comfortable. The room smells a bit musty, but other than that we had a nice stay.
