Hotel Whitcomb San Francisco

The hotel is itself a gem, but this was not a great place to stay. There is a gym on the second floor, which we found out about riding the incredibly slow elevator with a hotel maid. The front Desk always seemed understaffed, and seemed to panic whenever a large group appeared. we got into our room on the first night, and my wife found hair all over the bathroom. On the second night, we returned to find a dirty dust cloth on the night stand. The neighborhood is not the best, and the door men do not appear too eager to flag down a cab for you. In fact, the 2 doormen we saw at different times were more than happy to just stand around in the lobby, and ignore the guests walking by. The Front desk did not offer any helpful information when we checked in, nor did they ask how our stay was when we checked out. The one window in the room looked as though it hadn't been cleaned in years, though it did look like someone attempted to reach out to clean it. Overall, this was not the best hotel experience I have had. It was a roof over our head, and we weren't completely disgusted by the room itself. There is much room for improvement though!

over all average hotel, the building is old but maintained well, the wifi internet sucks coz its slow and pereception is bad in some parts. there is a star bucks which connects to the hotel hall .. thats cool

The hotel restaurant was closed all weekend. The bathrooms were so small you could hardly turn around in them. TVs were small and there were no assisted paper work for them. No news paper available and the front desk did'nt seem to know what they were doing unless it was checking you in or out. The staff avoided you unless they thought you needed help that would culminate in a tip. At over $550 for three nights plus $35 anight to park your car I expected more. Not only that but the garage was housing for young people on a high.

Room was clean and location was ok. Had reserved a queen got two double beds. room was small and bathroom was re-done but tiny!! Starbucks in the lobby was a nice plus.

Beautifull Lobby, ugly old rooms. The windows are pretty old so you get alot of noise and even coldweather form the outisde. But location is good.

Great historic old building. Market Street is the boundary btwn gentrified Civic Center area to the north and the scruffy Mission district to the south. Very convenient location due to all the bus, streetcar and BART lines right on Market Street. Staff were very nice and helpful and the room very comfortable. There is no heat in the hotel - typical in SF - and it would have been nice to warm up the room at night when the outside temp was 40 deg.

if you're looking for a spacious, super comfortable, spotless, quiet and inexpensive place to stay while in san francisco... keep looking. if you just need a place to crash and watch bad cable tv in a central but disgusting neighborhood of SF than you'll probably be fine with this.

The Hotel Whitcomb is a nice hotel in a not-so-nice part of town. Our cab driver from the airport suggested not going outside alone at night. The hotel staff was very nice and accomodating. We didn't spend much time in the room but it waa comfortable and the easy access to the Muni transportation system was great. I would stay again for the price.

The Hotel is one of the worst Hotels that I ever been, its located on the most dangerous zone in San Francisco, also, the staff has the worst attitude and lack of service, they simply doesent exist. PLease DO NOT STAY at this Hotel, dont be foolished by the photos or their website, it is NOT TRUE, and Im very disappointed for my experiencie.

As a frequent traveler for business and leisure, I was shocked at this hotel. Location is fine. However, the rooms are unclean, bathrooms are tiny, Internet = a cafe with dial-up, Room Service...? I arrived late in the evening for a business trip and took one look at the room - the old Ac Unit, Ancient TV, Unkept sheets, and musty smell before heading straight back to check-in to check out! IF you choose to stay here, just know that it is 'historic' in the worst ways possible.
