We were travelling as a couple visiting our daughter that lives on the NE side of Nob Hill. Our first stay at the Mark. Overall, a classic hotel. We appreciated the entry and lobby experience. Our room on the 11th floor was nice with a great view and the bed and room very comfortable. However, the bathroom is tiny and the sink area is ridiculously small, so a trade off there. The public corridors are rather dingy and the corridor is filled most of the time with cleaning carts and dirty room service trays, so kind of like navigating a minefield during the daytime. Hence, 4 stars instead of 5. Oh, and the Top of the Mark needs a refresh. The architecture and decor are super generic for such an expensive destination. The breakfast at the restaurant is unremarkable and would rate the hotel 3 stars if just rating the restaurant. You are buying the history and the location here, and there is no replacement for that.
