I love the fact as you come and go you pick up and drop off your key with the front desk. Clean and well maintained. Staff friendly and helpful. It's on the main cable car line. Walking up the hill multiple times a day can be strenuous. You are in the middle of it all and great Restaurants about in... More

This treasure on historic Nob Hill is located one half block from the intersection of the three San Francisco cable car lines. The suites, carved out two adjoining early 20th century apartment buildings, are spacious and well maintained. The staff is courteous and efficient. If you have mobility issues ask for the elevator side. There are security surveillance cameras throughout.

The time share property was wonderful. The maid service was great. Location wonderful too. Walk to trolley so great. Tom who works there is a nice guy gave us some good info. The rest of the staff needs some training in public relations. Not very friendly or helpful. You have tourists that are visiting and need to know what to... More

We called ahead for advice on which BART stop we should take to get to Powell Place (Montgomery stop), the Front Desk also advised NOT to walk from the stop to the hotel/timeshare even though it was less than 1/2 mile away. Instead she suggested a taxi (which was under $10); it was worth every penny. Powell Street is STEEP,... More

The hotel gets a low score from me for severe lack of concern for patron's security. More on that at the end of the review. The room itself was quite nice and comfortable, but if you're on one side of the building be prepared to hike up stairs. After long walks throughout the city and climbing up Powell's steep street...

we were in SFO in August of 2011 and stayed at Powell Place. What a great location! We were in a bachelor suite with a partial kitchen which is all we needed for breakfast and a couple of lunches. The rest of the time we were out and about anyway-who wants to cook in SF. There are some nice restaurants... More

This older time share hotel has a fabulous location and a lovely charm to it. It is located right on the tram line which is very fortunate as the road in front is on approximate 45 degree angle which otherwise provides a cardiac workout. We took the tram to the road above and then walked downhill to the hotel each... More

We loved our stay at Powell Place - the bedroom was cozy, the bathroom was nice, and while the kitchen appliances may have been a tad outdated, they all worked extremely well and finished off the unit with a full kitchen. The back deck was a very nice touch, and I enjoyed morning coffee out there while reading the San... More
