Location was good, elks lodge was nice, good food & cheap drinks. The first room we had the heater wouldn’t shut off so we had to sleep with the window open and a fan on to blow out the hot air.We moved to another room which wasn’t as nice but the heater was OK.

A grand old hotel with its own theater

The Kensington Park Hotel is a well-kept-up older hotel. It has a theater for live performances, especially plays, on its second floor by one of the area's most-awarded groups of actors. I went to a performance, and the acting quality was excellent. The hotel has not installed air conditioning in its rooms, but the ceiling fan kept my room comfortable, if a bit breezy. The hotel is across the street from an early morning bus pick-up for tours to Yosemite Park which is why I stayed there. The nearby luxury hotels were all booked-up and expensive. This hotel is quite near downtown San Francisco's main square so there is good shopping and nearby restaurants. The area seemed safe and nice when I was there.

Incredibly poor and insensitive customer service.

This trip was booked for an employee who ended up having a heart condition leading to a procedure which required him to miss the trip. We reached out to the hotel 5 days prior to the reservation through hotels.com and the hotel directly regarding a partial or full refund. The hotel management we spoke to were rude, dismissive, and kept repeating the same incorrect information. They would tell us to contact someone else who would return our calls. We have stayed here for years, and that did not matter to them. We will not be using their hotel again.

I checked in a bit early because I had an early evening wedding to get ready for. When I checked in they said it would be a "small fee" for early check-in even though my room was already ready. I didn't really have a choice so I agreed (but I did not ask for the cost). I took a shower in the afternoon and the water was cold but I had to shower to get ready. I was running late so didn't say anything. I tried to take a shower the next morning and it was too cold to even get in. I reported that to the front desk when I checked out. That did not seem at all surprising to the front desk person. I asked if there was anything they could do to compensate for the lack of hot water and was told the manager does not make approve adjustments for those types of complaints. They did not even waive the early check-in fee which ended up being $50! I don't consider that a small fee. Overall, quite disappointed that there was no attempt to compensate me for what should have been a non-negotiable in a hotel room.

I thought it was highly overpriced for what was supplied, not even a bottle of water in the room. The position was good and it was clean but that is about all that was positive. I would not stay there again at that price.

We saw a play inside the hotel at the SF Playhouse and it was fun to stay over night in the same venue as the play. The lobby is vintage SF and pleasant. There was only one working elevator and it was old and slow, so there were lines that took awhile to get up and own from our floor. Our room was clean but very small. There was nobody else on our floor, so it was quiet. But we wondered why we were given such a small room considering no other guests were up there. It was in a separate little nook, and seemed like half a room. Even the sink in our bathroom was oddly short (it would be good for someone less than 5ft tall). When we went down to the lobby for complementary coffee/tea and madeleines, almost nothing remained at 0915am. I did get a trickle of coffee, but no more hot water for tea and no madeleines remained. Empty containers. Overall a "meh" experience. We will not stay there again, but we will keep seeing plays there.

An ideal location .. close to Union Square, Chinatown, Embarcadero, restaurants, block from Powell cable car. The room was comfortable and staff responsive to queries. This is an older hotel and some areas are showing their age. We considered it part of the charm. Immediate area was relatively safe but, as in any big city, stay vigilant and know the areas to stay clear of. We would stay again!
