San Francisco hotels near Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption

Cons: All

Cons: Rooms were dated and they get hot, no aircon either

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Room was claustrophobic - barely room to walk around bed. Paint was fresh, but clearly covering 100 years of obvious wear. Musty smell. No air conditioning - couldn't get room quite cool/dry enough to be comfortable. Bathroom was dingy, marked up and had seen better days, and it was hard to squeeze into toilet between sink and wall, even then, wedged in by shoulder-level toilet paper dispenser. Plumbing noises from adjacent units were loud. Weirdly shaped closet with mismatched hangars that were falling apart.

Cons: Rooms are small, no air-conditioning (though not really needed) and there was no real work surface for a notebook. Not a place to get work done. Bathroom was dated, but functional. There's no fitness center in the hotel but you get free use of a health club around the corner with lots of good gear and yoga classes, which were great. There's no coffee in the room, but there's a 24 hour a day brew available in the lobby with cookies I found impossible to resist. Wi-fi is free and fast.

Cons: Small room

Cons: Coffee maker/microwave in room would have been an improvement, but not a sticking point. The service at Luques can be slow, but the food is good.

Cons: Location, clean, nice staff, friendly

Cons: Rooms are comfortably sized but not large thus 1 queen or 2 twin beds. Would have preferred a king sized bed but we slept soundly on the queen.

Cons: Did not like the time it took for valet to bring the vehicle around (roughly 20-25 minutes). We understood the traffic in that area caused delays but it was my only complaint.

Cons: Rooms are just too small especially for price.

Cons: Breakfast wasn't included, but actually was delicious in the cafe downstairs.

Cons: Room is small but doable (without children).

Cons: No air

Cons: The weather was cool and the hotel had the boiler running. Our room must have been 80 degrees and no way to shut the heat off. We were on the top floor and the hotel staff offered to move us to a lower (cooler) room. The second floor room was just as warm. The rooms really need local control of temperature.

Cons: needs air conditioning in room

Cons: Tight bathroom

Cons: Tired

Cons: Needs an update!

Cons: Expensive mini bar, breakfast etc

Cons: Standard room king was quite small. No room for more than a couple.

Cons: I stayed at the Clift this past weekend with my wife for a "staycation" away from the Oakland grind we call our normal lives. A few concerns with the Clift Hotel. When we arrived we were unsure about how the valet worked since there are no signs or "red jackets" (they wear black). We had to circle the block and call to find out what the deal was. It's also expensive, $52+ tax per night. Once we were in the Hotel we were told that our room wasn't ready, which was completely fine since we arrived 3 hours prior to check in time. We happily checked our bag and went for a stroll around union square. The problem is that the woman at the counter said we should expect a phone call with in the hour when our room was ready. We waited the hour and then another hour. No call. We then returned to the Hotel at 3pm and were told by the same women that it "should be ready within the hour."This would take us up to check in time...Finally at 4pm we complained and a manager upgraded us to a Jr. Suite and promptly gave us the keys. Sales Training: under promise and over deliver, not the other way around. Finally we arrive in our room and its pretty nice. It was on the 15th floor and the view was pretty urban SF high life. We were happy. The tub and painted surfaces were chipping and sup par. apparently this room costs $450+ per night, If I paid that I expect a little more attention to detail and quality. We dined at the Velvet Room, the Hotel's restaurant. We were offered a cold and breezy table next to the hallway leading to the bar but were happily seated in a lovely booth when we requested that. Dinner was delicious. The Redwood Room, their high shelf bar, is always crowded and all seating is reserved for $350+ bottle service. The common areas are nice, warm, and cozy. The room is three star. The overall experience is ok, we'll try another place next month and report back.

Cons: Our room on the 16th floor which had a great view was right next to the elevator motors. One or more of the elevator motors had bad bearings or a worn armature as there were a constant hum and winding sound similar to a low police siren. We could not move due to the Hotel being full.

Cons: Room service was slow, found a hair in my food, ordered a Coke three times and never got it, was provided with only a comforter and fitted sheet on my bed, food wasn't very good.

Cons: This hotel is really small the room was giving me an allegric reactions I could not breath, until we forced the window open. The shower curtain and shower smelled really bad. That was gross. I will not be staying here again.

Cons: The rooms are in dire need of updating. We stayed in a studio so the size was good, but things just seemed old. The walls needed touch up paint, the bathtub was peeling (about a 10'' section was missing plaster), the grout was stained, the hair dryer must be from 1985, the thermostat is old making it hard to control room temperature, the faucet was probably really awesome 20 years ago, but now it is difficult to get it in the "off" position, not good in a state experiencing a drought.

Cons: Valet took a little long.

Cons: It’s just not very nice really at all, room wise.

Cons: The room was was average and bathroom was very old decore

Cons: Would have liked tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Cons: The room and hallways where dark, the bathrooms are in bad shape (old and rusty), the tv was small and didn't have on demand. It used to be THE PLACE TO STAY in SF... Not anymore...needs a remodel urgently.

Cons: Bathrooms are small and have very little space for toiletries etc Housekeeper very anxious to clean room in the morning. Music in the redwood room for early evening drinks and snack was too loud and night club appropriate.

Cons: Hidden cost for valet parking - $52 a night Hidden cost for a 50 cent aux cord - $100 deposit Hidden cost for more than 5 glasses ordered for guests House keeping failed to clean my room one day when I called them before leaving for the day specifically asking them to tidy up No Hot tub or pool

Cons: Room with shaft view

Cons: Our airconditioner didn't work the first night. The front desk offered to move us to a new room but we declined, hoping the window would provide some cool air. The next day our AC was fixed while we were out and we didn't have further problems. Also wish the the bed had a top sheet in addition to the fitted sheet - Sometimes the duvet was too warm.

Cons: area underneath toilet lid seat was filthy

Cons: Wish there were more food options and eating time.

Cons: A ton of little creaky, old, uncomfortable things about this hotel add up to a tough place to sleep. This includes hard pillows, creaky pipes, random irregular sounds from the walls, a heat-happy thermostat, and so on

Cons: saggy mattress

Cons: No hair dryer in bathroom (didn't matter to me but it may be a surprise if you're counting on having one). Wouldn't mind a few extra places to hang clothes, towels, etc.

Cons: It's older and in a loud area, elevator was creepy

Cons: Valet service is a bit slow. And snacks in room were tempting to eat but were not free.

Cons: Stained comforters, unfriendly staff, run down facilities.

Cons: There wasn't a mention of the $45 (plus tax) for the valet. So that got a bit expensive. You also have to call 30 minutes ahead. The shower is also a lukewarm temperature. And a bit difficult to work with it being stuck.

Cons: Our room was very noisy - noises from rooms next to us and above us plus noises from the hallway. Our bathroom light was on a motion detector (no light switch), which didn't always work correctly, so we were either caught in the dark while showering, or unable to turn it (or the ceiling fan connected to it) off when not in use.

Cons: No food and basic lobby.

Cons: The bed wasn't comfortable, very worn out springs, I sink right in.. but when I called the front desk they accommodated by inserting a wood under the bed and fixing it for us..

Cons: Limited dining facilities Urban charge should have been upfront.

Cons: Only complaint was the beds being too soft.

Cons: Very noisy hotel...virtually no sound proofing...hard to sleep...

Cons: Only negatives: the street noise is loud. I needed to wear earplugs. it was fine with earplugs which the front desk provided. the "included breakfast" is not breakfast. it is coffee (decent) and doughnuts. That's it. however, there is a nice little cafe at the front of the hotel that had very good breakfast bagel sandwiches.

Cons: Roaches in the narrow dark closet was a rough surprise. Worse was the twin beds, like 1950's Lucy and Arnez. I don't know how I wound up with twin rather than queen. Prepaid meant no adjustment by the desk.

Cons: The photos are completely misleading. This is an awful hotel and I was booked for 7 nights. I reduced that to 1 night. The rooms are small and shabby. It's old with old furniture and does not at all feel like a hotel. It's more like a good hostel. Don't stay here. Unless you like staying in hostels on a vacation.

Cons: the hotel is old

Cons: Small room size, old room with old furnishings.

Cons: The room was tiny even by SF standards: a queen-size bed with 18 inches on either side and 3 feet in front. The bathroom was weirdly large...? It's not like people hang out in there. The shower took forever to warm up and didn't get very warm, and there's no water pressure in the sink (so you spend a long time getting soap off your hands, which is not a good solution to water conservation).

Cons: The little coffee shop at the entrance; ladies there looks they don't like their jobs... and they don't pay attention to your order.. also they deliver orders without checking the name or the owner of it... that was my very bad food experience... other ones were fabulous...

Cons: Old. Rooms aren't that clean. Views are terrible. No amenities. Windows didn't open. Floors creak everywhere. Loud. Ridiculously expensive.

Cons: Small bathroom , dirty, poor breakfast.

Cons: There was no bellman. The halls were depressing. It is very overpricedrepriced.

Cons: The rooms are small, and the walls are paper thin -- very noisy, hard to sleep.

Cons: Dining option is limited in hotel

Cons: No air conditioning. Not a problem because it was cool, but would not want to stay there in the heat.

Cons: The included breakfast. It was just donut. For the price I paid I wished there will be much more things to eat.

Cons: Valet was eh, pricier but worth the money

Cons: Neighborhood/Area were a little sketchy at night time

Cons: Stinky. Rooms are wayyy smaller than what appears in online pictures. Our luggage almost didn't fit into the room with us. Cable TV went out and back on about once per minute. Breakfast was a donut or croissant and coffee or juice. Would not stay here again.

Cons: There should be free English tea made available in addition to coffee in the morning and it will be good if this free tea & coffee can start at 6am instead of 6:30am and goes on till 11am instead of 10:30am. This extra small gesture will make a difference to many of your staying guests like myself. Lastly be punctual I walked down to M floor dead on time 6:30am on 5th Aug and it wasn't even ready until I asked twice the reception desk why no coffee yet then something was done Stephen NGAI

Cons: the service was a bit rude. People was not helpfull

Cons: Overall I loved this hotel and would stay over and over again. Only thing that was a bit of a nuisance was the street noise when the windows were open but it is to be expected. We are in the city.

Cons: Wow! The place was noisy. There was a loud group on the street that so loud that I could not sleep. That is the only reason that I did not give excellent reviews for comfort. I called the front desk, but the group never quieted down. And the group was using the N word like Donald Sterling.

Cons: - expensive for the amenities and services - no air conditioner, so had to keep windows open which was noisy facing a busy street - uncomfortable bed with only two pillows -mediocre breakfast (not very good pastries) -expensive parking -expensive room occupancy tax
