This was my third time staying here and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great little boutique hotel that is walking distance to so many things. Hotel staff is extremely accommodating and the rooms are clean. It’s a perfect place to stay in the city that is also within your budget. It’s definitely one of my favorite places in the city to stay.

Spotless, great location though plan that its at the top of a hill. Bonus for me that there’s fresh coffee and real milk in lobby without having to sit in restaurant. Staff helpful, gym impressive not an afterthought. Corner room upgrade had great view, tho it wasn’t quiet from street noise especially in the morning. But quiet enough, and very comfortable beds

The facilities were clean, and the bed was comfortable, but overall, my stay was disappointing--the $75 overnight parking fee was not advertised in advance, and I ended up in a room without curtains, just a transparent screen that let in light all night, making it hard to sleep. No closet either, so I'd say that the discounted rooms here are discounted for a reason.

Don’t really recommend this hotel, beds had tons of stains along with the sheets. There were hair left in the toilet and shower and used toilet paper in the restroom. Dirty cups and dirty silverware was also found inside the room. I felt as if there room was not cleaned prior to my arrival. The breakfast was okay don’t recommend the buffet order off the menu buffet, is over priced for mediocre quality of food. Valet does take a while so order your vehicle way in advance.

Stayed there for a concert on a Tuesday and the staff is the reason I’m writing this review. EVERYONE is so helpful and nice! The bartender that Tuesday 7/14 was so kind too! Room was clean, showers and bath tub was clean, bed was comfy, and they have a bellhop so it’s even more convenient. I would stay here again when coming to SF. Honestly such a great pick! Drive into their hotel and just park your car right in front of the hotel doors and they’ll take care of everything else. Parking is $75. Ice is on the lobby floor and 6th floor. If you door dash, they leave it in the lobby in a designated spot so just check there for your food or ask the staff for help tho the food is dropped off near the hotel lobby staff. Loved this hotel <3

Staff at the desk were always extremely helpful, whether it was advice on places to eat, making copies, linking our two reservations for rooms. They have a very good city map and will recommend things to do. Location is great right at the crossroads of cable car lines. Chinatown, Union Square, and Fisherman’s Wharf are walkable, but beware the hills! Jeffrey checked us in and checked us out. He was great, but all were really good. There is a nice circular drive to pull in for drop offs. We generally walked to the street for pickups to be sure the Uber drivers didn’t miss us.

Front desk staff, and those behind the scenes that I encountered were all friendly with smiles when I saw them. From the start of checking in, Averil and Bobby were quite helpful and friendly. Those who I ran into near the service elevators were very kind and friendly with greetings and smiles. I was pleasantly surprised! Breakfast was a bit pricey but delicious and filling as they gave good size portions. I had the breakfast burrito.

Free delicious coffee in the lobby was freshly made each morning and a welcome treat. Even the guy who stands tirelessly outside the hotel door was friendly and helpful. You can't go wrong at Stanford Court. I'm glad our very large family group chose this hotel.

Check on was ok; we arrive to the hotel earlier and our room was not ready yet; they offer to store our luggage and move it to the room when ready. We got a corner room which is bigger than the one you can get on one of the halls. Cleanliness of the room was ok, we noticed some built-up on the HVAC vent. The body wash in bathroom
Was either broken or empty. The rest of the amenities were as expected.

The room was clean, quiet, and well maintained. The housekeeping staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Unfortunately, our experience at the front desk was less welcoming. While the staff member was professional and completed the check-in process efficiently, there was little effort to make us feel genuinely welcomed. In the hospitality industry, creating a warm and inviting first impression is important and can significantly enhance the guest experience.

We also found the two complimentary drink tickets to be disappointing. When we went to the bar, we were told to find a seat and wait for service. We waited patiently but it seemed as though we were being overlooked, which made the experience feel uncomfortable. In addition, the tickets could only be used for a limited selection of drinks, but this was not clearly explained beforehand. After eventually receiving our drinks, we chose to return to our room.

Check in was not a particularly welcoming experience. We left our luggage as the room wasn’t ready.
When we returned later, our room was ready and the receptionist showed us to the luggage room - she opened the door and ushered us in as she walked back to reception.
As I walked into the room this angry little man literally chased us out the room and had a go at us for walking in, even though the receptionist had shown us in and held the door open.
He was still muttering under his breath as he brought our cases out. Not a nice start at all.

To the room, we had a corner room (room 521) with an adjoining door to another room. During our first night, I had to call reception to complain about the person in the neighbouring room (519) as he was on a call on loudspeaker at 1:30am which woke me up. This was dealt with quickly by reception.

The next night, said neighbouring guest returns with a ‘lady’ friend. It all kicks off at 11:30pm as the go at it hammer and tongs (albeit for a relatively short time). I complained to reception as I’m not having a second night of interrupted sleep. Very soon after, I hear someone chap at their door to tell them to keep it down - rather concerningly, no checks to ensure the ‘lady’ was a guest or signed in, in the event of an emergency..

The room was a decent size but there is not much sound proofing between rooms and the windows don’t do much to block outside sound - sound from the traffic is so loud it feels like there is a window open.

We have stayed here multiple times. We love the location. The staff is very helpful and caring. The rooms are quite roomy for SF standards. Did not eat there, although the breakfast options did look tasty. Lots of tv's in the bar so you can't miss the game. The one knock I can come up with is the valet retrieval does take a bit of time, but it's SF, and all the parking garages are not on site. Overall, because of the location, the staff and the rooms, this is our go to place whenever we go to SF.

Positive and negatives…
The location was great. Full gym open 24 hrs, that was nice and clean. The views from our room were amazing.

The staff was hit and miss, as a few were wonderful and one or two that weren’t as helpful. One of the three elevators was down for repair that caused a few gridlocks of people.

A few amenities that were offered weren’t available.

As a frequent traveler to SF, the overall experience was great, as usual.

I would consider returning to this hotel.

Excellent stay. The only 2 downsides were that the keycard access on the door was not working due to a dead battery. However, they quickly accommodated us in a different room so I was happy with how they resolved it for us. The other was the long wait time to get our car from the valet.

Thix hotel is quite tired and urgently needs a refresh. Our room had a big stain on the rug, which was generally not clean. Some things have been updated, many others have not. Concerns raised to hotel management were fobbed off and basically not addressed. There are weird automatic flushing toilets (never seen this before) that don’t work properly and flush at inappropriate times and very loudly. They urgently need to get their act together. The people working in the hotel are generally very nice, but management has a real problem.

We enjoyed our stay at the Stanford Court Hotel in San Francisco in May 2026. The location is great- atop Nob Hill in walking distance to Financial District, North End, Fisherman’s Wharf etc. It’s a downhill walk to go anywhere but a steep walk back up. We recommend getting a ride back! Our room was a corner room on the 8th floor with a fantastic view of the city. The room was spacious and quiet. The staff were super friendly. We ate breakfast in the restaurant and it was delicious. The egg sandwich was huge and tasty. The price is very good for this area. We visit SF often to see our son so we will definitely stay there again.
