This place has some of the nicest staff you'll find. It was our honeymoon and they offered us a bottle of wine for free as a present which was so nice! The staff will inform you to not to go the Tenderlion area which is a few blocks away. The only problem with this hotel is the walls are thin... More

I took my boyfriend to San Francisco as a birthday and I got a great deal on a room here. The Hotel Carlton had great service, wonderfully comfortable beds, and a romantic, yet exotic, atmosphere. The staff was so incredibly nice and helpful. We will definitely stay here again. I would recommend getting a room on the top floor, since... More

For the length of our too short stay, my family was treated to a wine tasting (Thank you, Johnny!), great jokes, excellent housekeeping, a fantastic room, a huge closet, an affordable rate and front desk staff that made sure we were safe and taken care of. All this and a world class city, too. We are looking forward to visiting... More

From the moment I pulled up to the Hotel Carlton I was impressed. The clerk immediately greeted us, took our bags and quickly checked us in. Although this is an older property, the room was stylish and very comfortable. Even though we arrived later in the evening (10:00) after checking in we walked next door and enjoyed a delicious dinner... More

My husband and I took our daughter, who is expecting her first child on June 30th to SFO for Mothers day. We have stayed at this hotel 6 or 7 times in the past and once again, I was amazed at our service and the comfortable feeling we had (which is why we keep coming back). SFO is a fabulous... More

My girlfriend and I spent an anniversary weekend down in San Fran, and stayed at this wonderful hotel. Right from check-in the staff greeted us with a ton of jokes and warm smiles. We checked in a bit early and had a pizza next door. Then at 5:30 we stopped into the lobby for their free wine tasting. This was... More

As well as superb value for money the ambience of this hotel is great. Mixture of middle Eastern and early 20th century decor. Staff were ever so helpful and friendly. Although only 2 elevators and we were on level 9 we never had long to wait. Room and bathroom immaculate - and hotel actually followed its own policy of only... More

I booked a room with a friend for a Girl's Weekend in SF and was not disappointed! I had never been there before and went solely based on the favorable reviews. When we first got in we were placed on the second floor overlooking the street, next to the elevators and across from a construction site! We were too tired... More
