San Francisco Proper Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

Hotel is located close to the tenderloin, which isn’t the greatest section of town. I also didn’t find the main lobby to be a very comfortable place to lounge. The rooms were nice. Small but very cozy and comfortable. We were on the fifth floor, and couldn’t hear any noise from outside, which was fabulous, one of the reasons we booked the hotel was for the rooftop lounge. However, they were having a New Year’s Eve party and unless we had tickets $250) we weren’t allowed up there. Overall a decent hotel, but probably not my favorite.

Booked for two night stay for New Years Eve and additional night, first night hotel bar was closed for private party, second night it was just closed. Seemed like limited staff at the hotel.

We enjoyed the rooftop lounge, Charmaine. Even though it was raining out, it was nice to look out over the lights of the City. The special afternoon Nutcracker Tea in Villon was an excellent seasonal treat; breakfast there the next morning was also excellent. It's a very cool place with a neat vibe. Excellent, very helpful staff at every turn.

The hotel itself is lovely, comfortable and clean. However parking at the hotel is $89 each night, which is insane. I would understand $50, but $90 is ridiculous. And for that sum, it took the valet 45 minutes (!!) to bring my car to the hotel. They warn you it will take half an hour, but it was longer. Would not ever stay here again due to the inconvenience and cost of parking.

Service was exceptional ! From the bell man to the front desk staff to the servers. Very friendly and they were genuinely interested in helping you. The area was ok. Lots of people loitering about nearby and didn’t feel safe to walk-about with the family.

The hotel itself is quite nice - comfortable bed, good shower and amenities, stocked mini bar, fitness room w ample weights, treadmills, a rowing machine, and two Peloton bikes. I ate at one restaurant & it was pricy but fine. The surrounding area feels a little overrun w homeless folks but I didn't feel terribly unsafe.

This hotel is adorable! The artwork and the decor are wonderful. The room was very quiet and had a great nights sleep.

First, the good: This boutique hotel is so cute. The staff are wonderful, and the hotel car was convenient for a few trips out to different locations in San Fran. The gym is perfect and has all the equipment you could need in a cool setting. We ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant and were very impressed with the food—wonderful flavor combinations. The Aesop bath amenities also brought a nice spa-like vibe to our room/stay, making it feel luxurious. The not so good: We had one really horrible night because of loud post-concert patrons in the hallways from midnight to 3:00 am. The second night was much better. The worst part of this hotel is the location, which is something we probably should have investigated before booking. The streets are empty of pedestrians but full of unhoused persons (some of which were exhibiting aggressive behaviors like throwing rocks or fighting), so it was not a location where you felt comfortable walking. In sum, the hotel and its amenities are wonderful but the location is shady, not allowing for direct walking exploration/enjoyment of the immediate neighborhood (which for us is part of the fun of visiting new places).

Wonderful hotel. Make sure to make a reservation for drinks at the rooftop restaurant. The location is in a poor section of town but the security and the free shuttle help you feel safe.
