“Worst Hotel Experience Ever in San Francisco”
Oct 29, 2025John W
I used to love Kimpton Hotels - this place makes me question who in HR hired the staff here. First of all, this is NOT A 4-STAR HOTEL. No amenities, super basic rooms, not even a coffee aker or water in your room. Upon check in, when I complained about a $32 a night "resort fee" with absolutely no tangible benefits, the rude desk clerk threatened to cancel my reservation. He then brought out the manager who was equally rude and gave me some B-S about how $32 a night was the price we paid for their supposedly free cocktail hour. The A/C in my room was not functioning, and when I called to complain there was no apology and no offer of compensation for the wasted time repacking up all my stuff and moving my room. AVOID this hotel - you can do better!
“Worst Kimpton Ever”
Oct 19, 2025Caroline M
We paid for a room with a “Bayview“ and it had an amazing view of the parking lot! Totally false advertising. We chose this hotel because of that and then they argued with us and made it very difficult.
Bathrooms are also insane. No hooks, no magnifying mirrors, lights were out, zero places to put your stuff. Worst Kimpton I’ve ever stayed at.
Avoid breakfast. Coffee and a pastry $21 because they include 20% tip on counter service.
“Dishonest staff and hidden charge”
Oct 13, 2025Dream733513
The front desk themselves told me I could leave my luggage in the room between stays — I even confirmed twice.
When I came back, I was charged for an extra night.
The same staff avoided me and others blamed me, acting arrogant and dismissive.
Manager refunded only after I pushed hard — no apology, no responsibility.
Felt like a deliberate scam targeting Asian travelers, disguised as a “miscommunication.”
Kimpton brand should be ashamed of this. I will never return.
프론트 직원이 직접 짐을 방에 두고 가도 된다고 두 번이나 확인해줬는데, 돌아오니 추가요금이 결제되어 있었습니다. 항의 후 환불은 받았지만 사과나 책임감은 전혀 없었고, 외국인(특히 아시아인)을 상대로 한 의도적인 속임수처럼 느껴졌습니다.
