Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

Honestly, it's 2026, and a hotel room without a mini-fridge is just baffling. I even went down to the front desk to double-check if the room really didn't have one. Also, if you booked through a third-party platform, *definitely* avoid their online check-in! It requires linking a credit card, and if the card you link isn't the same one you used to pay on the third-party site, their system isn't smart enough to recognize that you've already paid. So, I ended up being charged an extra room fee of almost $500. While I eventually got a refund after contacting the hotel, because it wasn't a US credit card, there were currency exchange issues. I then had to contact the platform's customer service to resolve it, which was a real hassle. My advice is: if you can avoid it, do. Just treat yourself as a regular guest, and let the front desk handle your check-in when you arrive at the hotel. There's no need to try and be clever by checking in yourself beforehand.

The toilet was clogged and broken, and there was a constant, loud mechanical noise in the room. When I reported it to the front desk, they only offered a perfunctory solution. The location is quite convenient, and there are fewer homeless people nearby. If you're lucky enough to get a room without issues, it could be a good choice (but you'd need to be lucky).
