I enjoyed my stay. The concierge Pam was so warm snd pleasant. She made you feel at home. There was one woman in particular that was upstairs and worked the reception desk at the spa and also at the front desk reception that I did not care for her attitude. When she was asked a question she was rude and unfriendly. Because of her I never went to the spa. Otherwise everyone else very nice especially Pam.

Downtown SF in decline
PROS: Good central location near Union Square and transit. Excellent service. Everyone was so nice! Our room was spacious and comfortable. CONS: Mattress was marginally supportive with terrible pillows, we both had stiff necks. Unfortunately, Our stay was marred by the poignant audible shouting of nearby hotel worker strikers. I don’t recommend going back until the striker’s needs are met.

Great location and friendly staff
We enjoyed our stay at The Donatello, it was very centrally located so we were able to get around and see all the sights with cable car just a short walk away as well as Union Square and Japantown. We had a car so used their valet parking which was excellent, everyone we encountered on our stay were amazing and could not have been more helpful to us. The only downside was the noise outside with a few protests starting early in the morning as well as homeless people screaming throughout the night. The hotel can’t do anything about this so I recommend bringing some ear plugs or something. Overall a very good stay and would recommend.

The hotel is part of a club that I was offered inducements to join. I prefer a hotel that makes the bed every day, provides fresh towels every day and tidys the room daily.

We loved the layout of the hotel. The clubhouse upstairs on the top floor was a great place to start your day with coffee or tea. Filter water saves on plastic bottles. Transportation was all around us, so getting places was simple.
