Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at Club Quarters in NYC. I appreciate the filtered refillable water bottles, and the little extras like toothbrushes if you forget yours. I did parttake in the breakfast, I was told I had not selected it when I purchased my stay. The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable. And the front room staff who meet, greet and help you out are totally awesome. They make the stay most pleasant. Very welcoming. Other staff members I met were also very polite."
