San Francisco Proper Hotel

Great experience at Proper. Never had been to SF before and this hotel made our trip worthwhile. Great rooftop bar, great staff, and wonderful room. Will be back.

This wasn’t our first stay at the San Francisco Proper Hotel — we’ve stayed here a couple of times now — and it continues to be one of our favorite spots when we come into the city for theater weekends. The location is incredibly convenient for the theater and makes it easy to enjoy everything nearby, especially the great restaurants and energy around Hayes Valley. We love being able to walk to dinner, the show, and back without worrying about transportation. The hotel itself has a chic, designer charm that feels uniquely San Francisco — stylish, comfortable, and thoughtfully done without feeling over the top. It always feels like a fun, special city getaway. We had breakfast during this visit and it was delicious, with really excellent coffee, and my wife especially enjoyed her tea — a perfect way to start the morning. One highlight is the rooftop bar, Lookout. We only went up to take a look this time, but it’s an amazing space with great views and looked like an awesome place to hang with friends and enjoy a cocktail. We were on the sixth floor and the room was wonderfully quiet — no street noise at all — which made for a very restful sleep. Overall, this remains a go-to hotel for us when we’re in the city for a show: beautiful design, great dining, a fun rooftop vibe, and an unbeatable location.

This is a lovely hotel. Very stylish rooms. Mine was a tad on the small side, but was thoughtfully designed to make efficient use of the space, with a large closet, fully stocked mini and snack bar, and a couch and marble-topped table in the room — along with a King bed. Staff were professional and very friendly. I ordered room service for breakfast, which was delivered quickly, and I just want to say that I think that was the best overnight oats I’ve ever eaten. I was visiting family in SF on this trip and arrived via BART at around 4:30 pm on a Sunday. I exited at the Civic Center station, and walked a block to the hotel. Nobody bothered me, and I didn’t feel unsafe.

A charming hotel. Friendly, welcoming staff. Very comfortable bed and sheets. Quiet. AC wouldn't stay on for more than an hour at a time and hotel was unable to repair this during our stay. The "repair" entailed disabling the GFI plug in the bathroom. Upon resetting the plug, the fan turned right back on and stay that way, unless I disabled to plug myself. Our room had a cracked inner window. The blackout shade mechanism jammed on our final night in the open position. The rooftop bar has a terrific view and was a pleasant place to hang out. I wouldn't care to walk around the neighborhood at night, but I knew that before I got there. An excellent location as far as getting anywhere else you want to go in the city from North Beach to the mission.

Excellent hotel! The staff is all around fantastic. The minute you walk in the door - people are kind, happy and make you feel comfortable right away. The hotel is in great condition and comfortable enough to not want to leave!!!
