Overview

Situated near three street car lines
Located on a steep hill in not a very walkable location
The Stanford Court hotel offers boutique accommodations sandwiched between Chinatown and Nob Hill. Leisure travelers will love the fact that three separate cable car lines run past this hotel, making it easy to get to San Francisco's most noteworthy sites. Stanford Court's 400 guest rooms were renovated in 2018, and now boast a white, gray and blue color palette with gold accents and wood furniture, as well as LCD flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi access (internet access is included in the daily hotel amenity fee). But some travelers say that this hotel still has some work to do, citing cold encounters with customer service employees as one of their main qualms, especially at registration. Others note that while the proximity to the cable cars was convenient, the noise from passing carriages made for a restless night.

Stanford Court has several of the less endearing quirks of an older building but few of its vestigial charms. Still, it's a relative bargain for the posh Nob Hill address.
