Great location,clean hotel
Katnola Nov 3, 2009
The location is super, easy to shop and walk all over city. Short cab ride or hop on cable car in front of hotel to any part ... of city. Union Sq has lots of shops, eateries,bars,sights to see. Directly across the street Famous Sears restaurant, awesome breakfast ,lunch or dinner inexpensive. The build your Bloody Mary in the hotel bar is Great! Staff was so helpful always asking if I needed anything and offering to take shopping bags to my room. Classy Doorman very friendly and helpful with directions. Though the room was not too big it was perfect and quiet, the room was very clean. Bed was great.I heard that the Brunch was Awesome will try next time, people were bragging about it.

Just okay stay at Sir Francis Drake
leaudaddy Nov 2, 2009
Hotel is in great location, the pictures on line make it look a little more grandiose than it actually is in person. Not ... quite shabby, but a little frayed at the edges . Bar on roof has an amazing view. Room was very small and we found previous guests shoes under our bed. My guess is that they were worn by an escort that was subsequently murdered after sex then butchered in the cramped bathroom and thrown out the old school windows piece by piece to the teaming hordes of hungry vagrants which comprise the bulk of San Francisco's sidewalk traffic.

Room was ok. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was unreasonably small - even for 1 person! No coffee maker in room :( For ... smaller conferences or business gatherings, hotel is great. VERY PET FRIENDLY! One of the best hotels I've been to in terms of pet friendliness! I wish I had brought my dog with me! Location can't be beat!

The Scala Resturant has long been one of our favorite places to eat. We decided to stay at Sir Francis Drake for its ... location and food. We were not disappointed in either. The staff is more than friendly and the beds very comfortable. The service is excellent and staff very friendly. Would stay again and take the money I save shopping.

When you read the other reviews and they say the bathrooms are small, they don't do justice to the size...incredibly small to ... the point where you can have one person stand in the space at a time. That aside, brilliant location, clean, charming old hotel, looks like it has been recently done up, and great price. If you're there for a short stay the bathroom won't worry you, and I'd seriously consider staying there again.

The service was good. The room and bathroon were incredibly small. The hotel in general still needs some work as well. ... Housekeeping forgot to leave towels on our second day and I called the front desk and they sent only hand towels and bath towels, we still had no washcloths. The ice machine on our floor didn't work. This hotel would be a good value at 1/2 the price.

Decent hotel
Decent & clean but not luxurious Mar 4, 2009
Very central location - right next to Union Square. This is a hotel for tourists - complete with doormen in beefeater ... uniforms. Our room was tiny (and the bathroom was minuscule) and obviously had not been renovated in ages. Nonetheless it was serviceable and clean. We did not look over the street and it was very quiet. It was not a luxurious, elegant or stylish hotel (as described in its profile) but it was decent. It is old and has some character.

Great Location - Very Central
Amrit Dec 31, 2008
First time staying at the Drake, and was quite pleasant. The check-in staff were very helpful, helping us find a room ... suitable for our tastes & needs. The location is excellent, literally only a few steps from Union Square and all the major shops (Macy's, Bloomingdales, etc) with plenty of restaurant choices within walking distance or a short cab ride away. The trolley runs directly in front of the hotel, making touring around the city quick & easy. Good overall experience, would definitely go back to the Drake, but would make sure on the room specifications when checking in ;)

Great swedish pancakes at the Sears Restaurant directly across the street. Get there early for breakfast, as the lineups get big!
