Our stay at the Beresford was nice for the most part. The building inside had a feel of uniqueness about it. The continental breakfast was adequate. We did not have any housekeeping while we were there, so can’t respond to that. We had a junior suite and it was nice. The water pressure in the sinks were really weak but the front desk was told at checkout. The television was not the best. The noise at night is like any other big city, lots of ambulances screaming in the middle of the night. One night we were there it sounded like a round of guns were fired, very scary! Maybe just fireworks at 3:00am. Drugs were being sold on Jones Ave.the corner of the hotel so we got some screaming annd yelling in the middle of the night. And right outside our window. Beds were comfortable. All in all, for the money we spent to stay there, it was average.

Not worrh $200 a night

The hotel had charm but definitely outdated furniture that was poor quality. The floors were dirty in our room. It looked as if the room service only wiped down the room and not clean it. There was so much dust, including under the beds. The outside of the toilet was filthy, and there were stains on the furniture. If its wasn't for the charm, it would have made this experience awful.

Charming Hotel

New manager of hotel, Vince, couldn’t do enough for us. So friendly and accommodating. Older hotel with old world charm. Very clean and comfortable. Daily continental breakfast and afternoon wine and cheese reception. Junior suite was very roomy with kitchenette. No AC but fans were provided in suite.

Pictures are nicer than the property itself. Windows do not insulate. Room was freezing plus we could hear everything outside all night long - 10+ ambulances, domestic disputes. We valeted our care and took 30+ minutes to get our car. Room was also just dirty all around. Not staying her again.

Good, but rooms need a once over.

Hotel is landmarked and the building is pretty but the place is older. The rooms are older and could use a refresh. It’s posturing like a fancy hotel (putting items in the tiny mini fridge but charging for them) but they don’t have electrical outlet covers in some places. The rooms are small, one person who doesn’t mind minimalism it was fine. The bed was comfy and the location was good for where I needed to be. Breakfast was just enough and I would stay again.

The hotel is beautiful and staff was great. Parking was an issue. You can choose your adventure when parking or opt for the expensive valet that is not on property. I opted for valet and did eventually find that garage my car was at, a few blocks away. The neighborhood is heavy with transients, which can be expected in a major city, but the night time voices is a bit disturbing when you are woken from a deep sleep. I never had a problem when walking around in the day but I was usually back at the hotel before nightfall, which is normal for me anyway.

As a group of 5 this hotel provided us a suite room cheaper than most of the VRBO's in the city. The hotel staff were inviting, the included breakfast was great, and most importantly the wine afternoon was lovely!! It was clean and well taken care of. Downside -- not a lot of restaurants around this area (we prefer more pub style where we can sit as opposed to grab-and-go sandwich options). Also, the street was very loud with a lot of unhoused people around during the evening hours. A lot of yelling, sirens, etc. that could be heard throughout the night.

Excellent hotel in San Francisco.

We came to the city for our vacation. We are very happy to stay in this hotel. The staffs there are very responsive and helpful. The breakfast was high quality. They offered storage for the luggage’s, this was a plus for us since we had a late flight after check out. I definitely recommend this hotel to my friends if they are visiting the city.
