Very old and not in great shape. Shower wouldn't turn off fully, no microwave, fridge didn't work. The Asian lady who works evening reception is not in the right mind any longer: very slow and frail, but also very bad attitude. Checking in took 20 minutes because she did everything so slowly and rechecked everything 3 times, including doing unnecessary things like counting price for each night by hand (3 times) when I already told her the total looks fine and exactly what I booked. The following night my key card stopped working, so I had to ask to reauthorise it. Took so long again with her and she couldn't hear my room number properly but when she finally heard it she tried to blame it on me saying that's what she said and that I didn't hear her say it because some people come in with headphones or something.

Really surprised by this hotel, really lovely historic lobby, same with the hallways, chandeliers and nice pictures. The room are a good size; the bed was comfortable with a nice duvet and pillows. Bathroom nice, historic bathroom cabinet. Everything was very clean. Wine and cheese in the evening and you can sit in the lobby and enjoy. Generous continental breakfast, yogurt, croissants, muffin. Staff were very nice. You can tell by this review, the hotel was a great value and will definitely go back, you should too!

I had a great stay at the Beresford. The hotel had gone down hill until the new ownership -it's back to the good Beresford. The missing gem is the White Horse that made the hotel even that much more special. Staff was great and the room was clean. I will stay again for my next SF visit - mine was business related and they did a great job at valet with my rental.

The hotel is very old but it has charm. It’s not in the best of areas however it’s very close to Union Square, the BART, and the trams. The staff we lovely and courteous. It’s very basic but it worked well for us as we were out all day, everyday. The only we had was the noise on one night but that is out of the control of the hotel. I would stay here again.

Personel was very friendly and helpful. We asked for an hour late check out and they accommodated us with that. We arrived very later on Tuesday because of a situation with another hotel. We felt immediately welcome with the entrance and personal at this late arrival hour.
