Not my first time at this vintage hotel, but stayed at a medium size room this time. They've done a fair job of updating the rooms, nothing too fancy. The closet and drawer spaces are limited, and the table is tiny. But I love the sturdy designer chair and that the windows actually tilt open for fresh pacific night air. Bed is great, bring your USB charger though if you have several devices.

Great location right near Union Square with plenty of food and shopping nearby. Staff was nice and room was nice. 4 stars as unexpected $35 nightly resort fee for.... Access to a on-site gym? No other amenities I can see that a Best Western wouldn't have without the resort fee.

Great old building however the execution of the remodeled rooms is a bit rough.

Lobby is stunningly beautiful.

Staff are delightful.

Rooms are small and bathrooms are shoe-horned together. You can’t stand in front of the bathroom sink because it’s so small. On the up side - walk in, tiled shower appropriate for the room decor.

Location is abysmal. You’ll be OK if you walk straight down Stockton to Union Square. Otherwise, in any other direction, you hit the Tenderloin and all of its colorful inhabitants. At one point I felt unsafe walking down Taylor toward Market. Of course, conditions change on a moment to moment basis in any city, but, in general, you’d be wise to avoid the area.

For the money, at the time of my booking, I should have stayed up the hill at the Mark Hopkins, another IHG property, for the same price. If you are looking for the Old World Charm, check out that hotel. IMHO, Holiday Inn Express at Union Square would be a safer option. It’s not a classic building, but it literally is on Union Square and you can get a suite with a real bedroom for about the same price.

Very disappointing experience. The safety deposit box in the room was defective and had to be forced open. The staff member on the phone was unfriendly and showed no willingness to help.
The room key malfunctioned several times, and the shower causes loud noises and severe wall vibrations. Instead of fixing the issue, the hotel suggested using less hot water. This hotel has completely lost its 4-star service and maintenance level.

At check-out, I was told that my room had not been paid for, even though it was already settled. The staff seemed confused and clearly did not know what they were doing.

I stayed at the Hotel Spero for a couple of days while attending a conference at the Moscone Center, and it was great! The staff were super friendly, and the service was great the whole time. My room was clean and comfortable, and housekeeping always did an awesome job.
The walk to the Moscone Center wasn’t bad and overall pretty safe. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby, and Union Square is just a short walk away.
Overall, it was a great stay, and I’d definitely come back next time I’m in town.

Had a great 3 night stay for a weekend away. Staff were incredibly nice and helpful. On our checkout morning, we had issues with our key card not working and had to get it reset at the front desk. They reset it, only for it to still not work. They walked us up to our room with their master key and offered to extend our checkout time due to the inconvenience. We didn't expect that and ultimately decided not to take up their offer, but the thought really made our stay a great experience.

Our room was on the 10th floor. Water pressure is good and hot water came in seconds. Decor is pleasing and nothing like the drab IHG sister buildings of Holiday Inn.

It is on the outskirts of the Tenderloin but if you walk east and north you'll be fine. We walked a block south in the early afternoon and the sidewalk was lined with homeless folk. They didn't bother us at all but just mind your surroundings. Very quick walk to Union Square and a short walk to the Bart station for SFO.

12.11.2025 Chenzel

Deducted 1 point from location as there were too many homeless people around that made us not feel safe when walking in or out of the hotel.

The room itself were big enough for 2 people and I would commend the staff for being so accommodating helping us to check in early and checking if they have an available twin room available instead of just giving us a King bed when they noticed we were 2 friends together.

No bellboy in the hotel so be prepared to lug all your luggages up to your room.

They have free breakfast/snacks in the morning and coffee/tea.

Overall satisfied with my stay!

breakfast option was limited with no egg in continental bf

Hotel is located near the homeless district. We found it quite surprising how many homeless people there were in the surrounding area. Hotel feels a bit dark. But in general meets a basic level. Clean showers coffee table bed etc..

This place was almost completely empty when I entered for breakfast, and that made me question my decision to eat there. I had the eggs benedict, and they were delicious though on the high-priced side. I did not like the chairs that they used at the dining tables semicolon not having a back on a stool makes it very uncomfortable.

06.01.2018 Tim

My wife and I had breakfast there. Staff were attentive and courteous. Breakfast was great. Open floor plan and natural lighting adds for a nice atmosphere. The big plus was that the music was mostly 70's top 40 and the volume was subdued.

17.12.2017 JB

The service is so BAD here. The food is alright. The drinks are decent, but the service is sad. The food is over priced for what you get, expect to wait a long time for your food to arrive once you order. I don’t recommend this place ? This place is covfefe.

15.12.2017 Jason

Comfortable setting. Decent bar. Good service. Disappointing food.

05.11.2017 Lance

We were served pretty quickly, but the food took 45 minutes to get to us. People who arrived later than us got served first too. Check out the Eggs Benedict... or rather, the sad attempt at it.

Dinner was great. Came back the next day for Wednesday pork chop special and told by new manager that had to wait an hour for menu to be available. At 3.30pm At the same time she went ahead with her staff and seated a couple that came after us. When asked why they said oh sorry and too bad for you and everyone else that was waiting to spend money have to wait til 4.30. She said she was new and unable to handle the job.
Wow. Never will go to daily grill again. Spent 300 first night in town. I have never written a review but because it popped up on my phone this is the first and it had to be bad. Daily grill is scratched from my list.

27.12.2017 Angie

Came in at 11:00 am, we sat at the bar thinking faster service. We were told the kitchen is switching from breakfast to lunch, had to wait 10 minutes before they could make food. 45 minutes later we received our lunch. There was a bartender switch after our order was placed, and it was a shame, the bartender that came in had no care for his customers, stress on his face with every request. A couple came in and waited 20 minutes to even get a greeting...poor service.

28.11.2017 Vladan

Best option for good food on Union Square. We have been there for 3 times last 2 days. Breakfast and dinner. Service is good and food is delicious.

Had an amazing Thanksgiving dinner here with my wife. The place was packed but the food was still amazing and the server was very attentive and helpful. We loved it!

This place! I am VERY picky when it comes to good food. Not only was our food AMAZING but our server Peni was the BEST! We cannot wait to come back from Seattle!

Had catfish and collards. Walked in on NYE and sat at the bar. Very good food, authentic down-home and I say that coming from Louisnana. Good service. Good experience overall.

26.11.2017 Jaime

Good fried chicken! Not your dry or greasy chicken. The staff was fast and professional. Big thank you Farmer Brown.

15.11.2017 Tiffany

Farmerbrown is a slow, home-cooking kind of place, with Southern staff and good Southern food. The place is big and spacious, and the food is made with quality ingredients and presented well. Add the homemade, green, spicy sauce if you like spice, maybe add some salt as well. I would come once for the experience if you have lots of time, as service tends to be on the slower side of things. They are known for their fried chicken and shrimp and grits here, so if you're a fan, order those!

22.10.2017 Luchas

Almost walked right by it while looking for somewhere to eat. So glad I didn't. One of my new favorite restaurants in town. Everything was great. Amazing food and very friendly staff.

18.10.2017 Vibrant

Welcoming hospitality. Great food. Amazing music selection played in the background. Whenever I return to SF, this diner will be one of my first stops.
