Timbri Hotel San Francisco, Curio Collection by Hilton

The room is well-equipped and very clean. The service was satisfactory. The only thing is there were a few homeless people around the area.

Amenities: The room facilities are quite new. Hygiene: The room was cleaned thoroughly every day, with no strange odors. Environment: Unfortunately, the hotel is located in an area where homeless people gather. Just across the street from the hotel, there are spots where homeless people sleep and congregate.

There were too many hidden fees. When I booked through Trip.com, it showed a price of 1177.36 RMB. Upon arrival, I was charged an additional $98 USD due to local government taxes or hotel policies. However, after checking in, I ended up with $303.44 USD in additional charges. There's a $49 USD per night destination fee, which can be used for a $15 credit at the hotel's convenience store, but the prices there are much higher than local supermarkets. There's also an $80 USD per night valet parking fee, which becomes $91.20 USD after tax. Google showed that the nearest paid parking lot was very far away, making it difficult to walk back after parking. Both the hotel's check-in policies and government tax fees were significantly higher than other hotels. Besides the usual sales tax on snacks at the convenience store, the San Francisco government also charges a 5% health tax. There were also San Francisco government resource management assessment fees and California resource management assessment fees charged nightly; surprisingly, hotels in Silicon Valley (also in California) didn't have these two government tax fees at all. Additionally, there was a 'destination resource management fee for short-term guests' based on room occupancy, which I haven't seen on other hotel bills. This place is a complete rip-off with way too many mandatory charges, far exceeding what Trip.com indicated before my trip. There were also many homeless people nearby, some seemingly involved in drug use, and the air had a noticeable odor of urine.

The hotel's location is excellent and convenient. There weren't as many homeless people downstairs as others mentioned, and there's a dedicated security guard at the hotel entrance at night, so it feels very safe. The hotel is quiet and very clean. Absolutely great value for money!

After arriving at the hotel, I was inexplicably charged an extra $40, which I grudgingly accepted, but then I saw that the area downstairs was full of homeless people. Run... don't come here... This big hotel charged me $12 for two cups of hot water at breakfast, and then automatically added two 18% gratuities. A $50 breakfast ended up costing $78, with a bunch of random, unheard-of charges that I've never encountered anywhere else. Seriously, run... it was a super terrible experience.

The hotel is located in the city center, making it convenient for shopping and dining. Parking is available right across the street.
