El Campo Holidays from £910

A fantastic location - within easy reach of the Hayes Valley restaurants, Haight-Ashbury and, on Fourth of July weekend, the brilliant Filimore Jazz Festival. It was a real treat to stay in what felt like an authentic neighbourhood in this beautiful Victorian building.

The property is lovely but the rooms are older. Our AC didn’t work the first night which made our small room stuffy. I didn’t want to report it in the middle of the night and have workers trying to fix it so we waited until the next morning when we knew we’d be out. The staff was very helpful and fixed the AC right away. The gym is nice to have but it does get crowded with the business crowd staying at the hotel. The food was good in the restaurant and the service was excellent! We ended up using our free drink tickets for lattes, but I’m sure the cocktails would’ve been great too. Overall it was a nice stay, and we walked all over so it was centrally located as well.

The hotel is clean enough and functions regularly. The issues I had were with checkin. I asked to check in an hour early (usually hotel.com guests get an early checkin if requested . The guy at the desk said i could checkin early for an $20 additional dollars. Not wanting to wait an hour in my car I said ok. Then came the parking . The hotels .com booking made it seem like parking was included but no, that was also was an additional $20 and when my partner arrived later another $20x. Overall oi thought I was getting a good decent price for my stay but in the end these additional charges made it quite pricey. I feel I was mislead by hotels .com and by the SF Central Hotel . When boooking I rememebered thinking that the parking was included. Otherwise stay was ordinary. Bathroom had some mold or some staining around tub that looked like it. My room was also next to janitorial/housekkeeping closet so there was doors slamming during the daylight hours starting early.
