Serramonte Vacations from ￥266,844

We had an amazing stay at Stanford Court! From the moment we arrived, the experience exceeded our expectations. The hotel was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring San Francisco. The staff made us feel welcome, and everything about our stay made the trip that much more special. One of the biggest surprises was the restaurant! We honestly weren’t expecting much, but it completely exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our stay. We also loved how convenient the location was for exploring the city, whether we were walking around Nob Hill, heading down to Chinatown, or checking out everything San Francisco has to offer. Overall, Stanford Court made our trip even more memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco. We would happily stay here again!

Disappointing Experience – Definitely Not Worth the Price Unfortunately, our stay at the Fairmont San Francisco was extremely disappointing, especially considering the price we paid. We spent over $4,000 for just three nights, including all the additional fees, and the overall experience fell far short of what I would expect from a luxury five-star hotel. For starters, valet parking was over $100 per night, which is excessive even by San Francisco standards. Something as simple as complimentary bottled water wasn't even provided in the room. At these prices, you would expect these basic amenities to be included. We specifically booked a room expecting a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, only to discover that we could barely see a small portion of it. To make matters worse, the windows were filthy and clearly hadn't been cleaned properly. When you're paying a premium for a room with a view, the least you should expect is clean windows and the view you were promised. The dining experience was equally disappointing. The restaurant menu felt tired, outdated, and significantly overpriced for what was offered. Room service breakfast for two cost us $190, which is simply outrageous considering the overall experience. I understand that the Fairmont is a historic property with a prestigious reputation, and I certainly don't mind paying premium prices for a truly exceptional experience. However, charging five-star prices should come with five-star service and amenities.
