Recent Sir Francis Drake Review: "I was very satisfied with my hotel experience at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco. As a single traveler, I felt safe and secure. I enjoyed the ambience of the hotel and its great accessiblity to major attractions in the city. I cannot stress enough the convenience of the Drake. Any request(s) that I made with reference to service was promptly provided. My hotel room was comfortable, pleasant and free from any noise. I rested very well. If I happened to be a bit slow exiting my room in the morning, housekeeping was considerate of my timing and waited util I left the room in order for them to clean. The only thing that I wished for was a bathroom bar to steady myself while showering or bathing. I will make a special request for this equipment when I travel in the future.
The concierge's service was particularly efficient and helpful. Paige, Sylvia and Karen made things happen for the hotel guests. Let me also mention Tyler who was such a great ambassador long before I arrived at the hotel. I appreciate his professionalism and courtesy.
Since my stay at the hotel was for 8 days and 7 nights, I would have enjoyed a special 30 minutes for the hotel to set aside a mix and mingle time with other guests who might have desired to attend. Guests represented many countries with vast experiences and this would have been a highlight. Challenging but doable.
There is no question that I will recommend the Sir Francis Drake to my family and family who travel to San Franciso.
All the best for exceeding excellence in service at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel."
