Chic, hip accommodations and on-site spa near Moscone Convention Center
Located in the heart of the SoMa District, San Francisco's W Hotel is modern, sleek and sophisticated. The hotel is neighbors with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and sits a block away from the city's famous Yerba Buena gardens. It's also across the street from the Moscone Convention Center, making the on-site XYZ restaurant and bar a great spot for convention-goers and leisure travelers alike. The W Hotel has received LEED Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and features an outpost of the renowned Bliss Spa chain.

First stay at this hotel
The hotel is across the street from the Moscone Center and the Yerba Buena Park, only a few doors away from SFMOMA, and about a 15-minute walk to the stores around Union Square. The friendly staff and ambiance of the hotel make it a haven for a busy business traveler--but it also would be a great place to stay for an urban vacation because of its convenient location. The food and wine selections at the XYZ Restaurant and bar were excellent, making it possible to dine well without leaving the hotel. Wish list: The desk area in the room needs a bright desk lamp for reading and writing. A hot pot or coffee maker in the room would make it possible to have hot water for tea and coffee at one's leisure.

What one would expect from the W Hotel
Great experience staying at the W. No front desk wait, good service, clean room, quiet room, nice bar/lobby scene. $8 for 8oz of Fiji water is a little crazy, but Walgreens is around the corner which sells 48oz of Fiji for $2. Stay away from the mini bar/snacks too. Looks like those items haven't been touched for quite some time; prob because of the prices. Overall, what you'd expect from a W Hotel. 4th time staying here and will stay again.

Not a big fan of the W pre-made, heat up & serve menu. Found Ducca at the Westin which is a block north on 3rd to be a great close alternative; especially for late night dining. Excellent service, food and nice atmosphere; loved the outdoor seating. Starbucks is a few steps south on 3rd & Walgreens is fairly close up on Market/4th.

Great locale
Family trip to Giants game. Easy walk to the ballpark. Seem to cater to mostly young travelers. At least a couple of soccer teams staying there. Tough trying to sleep from 10 til 12 pm with young adults trying to impress each other. Bring a sound filter

C'mon--$45.00 for valet park. Just walk around corner, pay 30 bucks and roll your bags in just like a stew. Better yet, try a parking website (GottaPark) for a better deal

Great experience throughout. Good welcome, nice rooms, courteous service...and the half-price parking for hybrid cars is a nice touch. Would definitely stay there again.

Romantic Weekend
We had a great time at the hotel. I was a little dissapointed to have the room service delivery guy suggest that I should tip more than the 20% + room delivery fee. He then explained that he only got 15% not the 20%. Frankly dropping off food to a room shouldn't get 15% of a $200 breakfast.

Wonderful Location and customer service
The best thing about the hotel was that all of the staff were super friendly and willing to help you find whatever you needed. They did it in such a way that it didn't seem like they were doing it out of obligation.

Friday they had a live DJ that we listened to for an hour before going out into town, and Saturdays the hotel bar becomes a hot spot for people who are not staying at the hotel.

Style, with no substance
The concierge was extremely helpful. The rest of the staff were not. W's "Whatever, Whenever" should be renamed to "Nothing, Never." Had to pay 15$ a day for internet, which is unreasonable. No coffee available, ordering coffee for two in the morning cost us 20$. These basic amenities shou.d be free at any and every hotel. The room was great, however, the bathroom left a lot to be desired. Overall, i don't think that I would stay here again. While I was there I also learnt that the hotel was recently sold at a big loss. Go figure!!

Love the W!
Check-in was a breeze and we got one room while the other one was still being cleaned. The Acura desk was convenient and easy to reserve for rides around the city. XYZ bar was great for people-watching and the drinks were strong. Its a short walk to Union Square, all the downtown shopping and Chinatown. Bliss Spa is the best part of the hotel and definitely worth the treatments. I will definitely come back to W hotels for a stay or a drink!
