Funky SoMa hotel serves up retro style and custom burgers

With a whitewashed pop-culture style straight out of South Beach, the Americania is one of the funkiest hotels in all of San Francisco. Each guestroom features retro-style furnishings and board games. Elsewhere around the property, understated references (think murals) to classic American pastimes abound. Custom Burger & Lounge, the on-site eatery, serves up -- what else? -- traditional American fast food. In a nod to modernity, all guests receive complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access.

Highlights
  • Funky retro style
  • Walk to Union Square or AT&T Park
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi
  • Dine on traditional American fast food at on-site burger joint
Rooms

With retro-style furnishings and shout-outs to 1950s American culture, all of the Americania's 143 rooms and 11 suites offer journeys back in time. Modern conveniences include flat-screen televisions and hair dryers. Special family rooms also have pull-out sofa beds. Many rooms offer breathtaking views of the city skyline, and there's complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. Pets are welcome.

Features

The hotel encircles a tranquil fountain courtyard -- a perfect spot to unwind with a good book on a sunny day.

All guests have access to an on-site fitness center, an outdoor pool and a game room. Dry-cleaning, guest laundry services and self-parking are available (fees apply).

 

Grab a burger and fries at Custom Burger & Lounge, a kitschy-but-lovable hamburger joint on-site.

Nice family getaway

We stayed there with three kids and they enjoyed the gym and pool a lot. As the pool is heated, they could use it even late in the evening for good two hours. The surroundings of the hotel is not the nicest. A lot of beggars and homeless so we did not feel very safe when walking out of the hotel and kept a close eye on them.

it is average

Not the cleanest room. It needs general cleaning. Walking distance to Union Square. $25 charge for parking. Retro style, but could be a little cleaner.

Been to much better hotel locations.

The best western is fine. it is everything else that really stinks which in turn reduces their ability to get call themselves a great getaway hotel. 1) room feels like as big as a broom closet. (but clean!) 2) it is not in a good area of SF, lots of transients, the smell of urine everywhere. ...need I say more. If you a woman traveling alone, I sure would not recommend it, I would not even want my children exposed to the area.

Good, but not great.

Overall I was happy with the room and service. I was not expecting to have to pay seperately for parking. Very retro styling, which may not be for everyone. My wife loved having the exercise facility.
