Hotel Nikko San Francisco

Just a quick trip overnight to see Michelle Wolf at Cobb's Comedy Club. The hotel is beautiful; the staff is friendly and professional. Our room was lovely, and we had a city view. The toiletries smelled good, and the bed was very comfortable, with excellent pillows. Ok, this is going to sound ridiculous and obviously it isn't a critical amenity... but I really loved the TV remote, lol! When you push the buttons, they feel like there's a click, but it doesn't really make a sound. It felt well-made. It was best TV remote I've ever used lol!! I wish I had taken a picture. I was also surprised at how quickly the parking valet brought our car.

Almost everything!

Probably the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I travel a lot for work, and only stay in 4-5 star hotels (usual chains Hilton/Westin/etc.), and this is the best of them all. Room/food/service/cleanliness/location…all perfect. I did pay extra for an executive suite, with an adjoining twin Double for the kids…but our room was 10/10! Also, the access to the lounge meant free breakfast and more less free drinks/dinner if you were happy to make a meal out of all the complimentary food they make each evening (pizza, pasta, crackers and cheese, fresh fruit). It’s not pitched as dinner and you don’t get to choose…but it made for a perfectly good dinner for us one evening.

Overall hotel was very good but missed something to make our party of 4 really excited about the experience. Location and the pool/sauna/gym were very nice. Main hotel areas and rooms were very clean.

Nikko staff were polite and friendly, my room was very comfortable and quiet, and the property felt secure despite being close to "undesirable" parts of downtown San Francisco. It is well located to catch public transport.
