Lived in SF for over 44 years. Staycation at this magnificent hotel many times over the years. Property is undergoing major renovations but nevertheless the staff was helpful as always and really didn’t mind the small inconvenience due to the construction. The discount I received because of the work made it a sensational deal. Literally less than half of what I expected to pay.
Union Square is having its issues with so many stores boarded up. However, I believe that change is always difficult and that people are way over reacting. Long live The St. Francis and long live San Francisco. Wherever I am in the world, this will always be HOME!
