Good stay

Hotel was a nice stay. It is an older building. Staff was friendly. TV quality was not the best but the room was clean. I stayed in the suite room, bed was comfy, bathroom was clean, kitchen was clean and had plates available for us to use. Overall it was a good stay. Only critique is the breakfast, it was just bread options, coffee, and some fruits. We were under the impression it would be a full breakfast option the look on my little sisters face was priceless when she saw the options so it gave me a good laugh.

My sister and I stayed at the Beresford arms while our father went through a very rough surgery at UCSF. They always asked how he was doing, kept our room incredibly clean, and the male staff always made sure my sister and I made it into the hotel and our room safely at night. I will forever recommend the Beresford arms to anyone, and stay there for any future trips to San Francisco.

Ok hotel - old but maintained and reasonable. Unfortunately the radiator kept making loud noises all night intermittently. No sound proofing which means hearing street noise despite 7th floor (but somewhat expected for an inner city hotel).

The Beresford was an old downtown hotel, but clean and well staffed. One old slow elevator but it functions. Breakfast was simple but tasty with fresh rolls, fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, juice and coffee. Staff were friendly and responsive to needs and requests.

Not recommended

Probably great in it's prime. Spacious rooms with a good location that is central to most other districts. Kitchen. The free tea and wine in the afternoon is something unique and appreciated. Unfortunately, customer service seems to be based on a reactive or subjective mindset. No one was outright rude but rather either very matter of fact or at times leaning towards annoyed. Clearly long wait times for your valet car has been a repetitive issue that staff resolve by referring to the print on the valet claim ticket. If I were the owner/manager, I would train my staff and create better messaging tools to more proactively call out the issue rather than leave the issue as a potential source of contention between staff and guests. They also did not bother to explain that pricing for parking depends on the size of your vehicle and that there is a daily 'valet tax.' I had to call out the two items on my bill before getting an explanation of why, no apology for the lack of earlier explanation to help manage my expectations. They also mischarged me on another item that after removing the entire bill changed with different rates. Again, no apology but rather first a couple of matter of fact denials of any changes to finally fixing the problem with a "Good thing you checked your bill twice." One of the bathroom's double vanity sinks didn't work. Rundown motel beds, paint peeling, no room temp control, TV hanging, etc. Same price, another hotel

Terrible

Terrible experience at this hotel! Though it is in downtown of SFO, it doesn’t maintain any standard as it seemed like staying in a slum area. Rooms were stinking and smelly like hell. They put torn/ripped towels just wow! Roof had some cracks with leaking it seems. Toilet flush doesn’t work often, we had to fix manually as service doesn’t care even if you call them. Oh yeah, you need to request for a tissue roll as they will not put extra. We asked the manager to change the room as it was much smelly and kids were not comfortable staying in it but instead she managed to convince us saying they don’t have any rooms available at the moment. As far as parking, they force you to park in their valet parking and they lie about night street parking. Manager told me that street parking is $3.5 per hour at night!!! I knew night parking is free at SFO streets and even sundays, but they trick you to use their pricey parking. Overall I would never recommend even to my enemy..
Ripped towel, there were three of them
This is how they maintain the air inside room lol

Just posted ok…

The building is beautiful, the staff are polite, and valet was great. The room we had needed to be repaired and updated. Bathroom pocket door was broke and could not be shut completely, the jacuzzi tub did NOT work, the bathroom wall paper was peeling. The bed was hard and not comfortable. The room was very spacious, and the pillows were great.

The staff was great!! I loved the services they had to offer like valet parking and heir cheeses, cracker, and wine time in the evening. The hotel room itself was also above and beyond. Loved the layout and how the room was stocked with dishes. I would absolutely stay here again.

The staff were great...helpful, friendly, yet professional. The hotel, although old, was in great shape (newly painted, very clean, rooms were very comfortable, the best bed I've ever slept in). On top of all that, the price was extremely reasonable for how great everything was. Highly recommended!
