Good location, with just 5 min walk to the Powell street/market street and 10 min walk to the union square. Stayed here for a conference and it was close enough to walk to the Moscone center within 15 min. Hotel staffs are friendly and greet you everyone when you come or leave. The free tea/coffee in the morning and the... More

Optimal location. This is Union Square neighbourhood, don't worry about Tenderloin coments. Famous and huge hotel towers are all around (e.g. right across the same corner) if you need a perspective. I prefere Kimpton's concept of hospitality. From the Serrano you can walk to great spots, Market Street, cafés and tea houses, restaurants, top brand stores, Yerba Buena, gardens and... More

This is a very well kept and aesthetically pleasing hotel. While the room was smallish it was more than adequate to our needs, who wants to hang out in a hotel with such an interesting city outside it's doors? This hotel had adequate amenities and is located close to so many attractions. Yes it is located just inside the Tenderloin... More

Dear jeepndd, Thanks for the review, I am very pleased to find out you enjoyed your stay... and you are right about the parking tax, but what best way to discover the city than by foot right? I always recommend the car only if you're going somewhere outside of the city, like Napa... but then you also don't want to... More

I was in San Francisco for a conference and chose to stay at the Serrano instead of the conference hotel and was not disappointed. Very comfortable room, beautiful lobby, and the usual amazing Kimpton service. I love the extras that Kimpton provides - good coffee in the lobby every morning, a wine tasting happy hour in the evening and free... More

From the grand lobby, to the beautiful rooms, to the excellent customer service, our girls weekend away was a great time. Everything was in walking distance, shopping, dinning and several nice pubs for a few thirsty girls. Every minute of our stay was a pleasure and I would come back again in a heartbeat!
