Impressive reception, nice boutique style decor... Greeted by fairly rude receptionist after a long flight so i wasn't too impressed at first. Had read the rooms can be small, but actually couldn't stay in the standard double room I booked, so after the first 15 mins in the room, I rang reception and paid for an upgrade. No sauna/steam-room/jacuzzi as... more

This is a small boutique hotel, lovely reception, service and sitting room. The standard queen rooms are nice, but quite small. I upgraded to a junior suite which was more spacious. Pet friendly thing freaked me out a bit, I thought I might see dogs and cats everywhere, but it was fine, just like any other hotel, didn't see any... more

We stayed at this hotel for four nights. The Union Square location is good for tourists, as it’s central and close to visitor information, transit, restaurants and shopping. This Kimpton hotel is decorated in an Art Deco style, which is fun and different, and their theme is “sophisticated world travel”, with books in the room and items for purchase related... more

This hotel is a charming, well located boutique hotel. the staff was very helpful and i must say that i would definitely stay in a kimpton property again. my daughter loved the goldfish, the chocolates and the size of the suite we had. i loved the coziness and the amenities, but wished that they had served some sort of small... more

Perhaps it was the plethora of 5 star reviews, or the wonderful photos, or my experience two weeks earlier on a biz trip to SF when I stayed at the Palomar..but my expectations were quite high for the Monaco. I had booked a King room on an "upper floor" away from the elevator. I also elected for $15 to get... more

My weeklong stay was acceptable with an appearance of some charm if you went looking for it. The marble stairway was very striking but not funtional. Elevators were always waiting in the lobby. The weight room was locked when I tried to use it. I had a cause for concern if it was unlocked anyway as there is no security... more

Due to a convention in town we didn't get to stay at the Hotel Monaco our first night. They did put us up in another hotel that was not as glamourous and made it up to us by giving us a Suite for the rest of our stay and some champagne to celebrate our honeymoon. This hotel was exactly what... more

The Kimpton chain is one of my favorites - they have great properties that are well-run, clean and nicely decorated. The Monoco in San Fran (and Chicago) are perfect for a fair price. The hotel staff is helpful, the food is great, the maid service is perfect. I can't say enough about how good Kimpton hotels are! more

From the moment we booked our room, we knew we had found a special hotel. The Kimpton group has done a beautiful job of restoring this majestic hotel into a whimsical delight that will please the senses. The hotel staff is very professional and will go out of their way to make your stay a memorable experience. We met some... more
