"We had a very enjoyable stay at the Kimpton Alton Hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful, with stylish décor, excellent facilities, and a great atmosphere. The room was lovely, comfortable, and well-appointed, and the location is ideal for exploring Fisherman’s Wharf and many of San Francisco’s main attractions.
The restaurant and gym were both excellent additions and helped make our stay even more enjoyable.
There are, however, a few things worth noting for future guests. Tea and coffee were only available during the morning service, and there was no kettle or coffee machine in the room, which was a little disappointing.
Our package included breakfast, but this was provided as a voucher towards breakfast in the restaurant rather than a fully inclusive breakfast. Guests should also be aware that a compulsory 20% gratuity is added, along with additional local San Francisco charges, which increased the final bill.
Parking was another surprise. While parking is available, we were not expecting the cost of approximately $75 per day plus taxes, so it is worth factoring this into your budget before booking.
Overall, this is a lovely hotel in a fantastic location with great facilities, but it is worth being aware of the additional costs that can arise during your stay."
