I stayed here recently on business because I love the location. The view from the top floor deck, of the Bay Bridge, is amazing at night. This hotel is http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r388856 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r386917 Stayed here with two daughters in tow July 2006. Paid less than half of what it would cost to stay now. Still the same building and amenities. What on earth could justify the increase? Well perhaps people foolish enough to believe the hype. I'm http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r386917 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r487669 The hotel photos made the room look wonderful. I wanted to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday in a big way and chose this hotel based on the photos and the claim of a luxury hotel. When we drove up, I was disappointed by the outside appearance of the hotel. Very plain and small. The interior was just ok, noting special as I had hoped. The hotel staff was very friendly and accomodating though. The room itself was the most disappointing because at at total of $450+ dollars for a 1 night stay ($45.00 for valet parking and $40.00 for 6 birthday balloons included in the cost), I could have flown to Vegas. The room was small and nothing of the Wow I was hoping to give my husband for this special day. The upside was that large soaking tub (my husband is over 6 feet tall) and the fluffy bed and bedding. The view was nice at night time though. I guess you have to visit a place to see it for yourself. Needless to say, we won't be back. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r487669 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r1103466 Great service, Comfortable Beds, Great Location and Love the Little details. Hotel is well thought out, service is great and you can not beat the location. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r1103466 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r427549 We love the Hotel Vitale! Would not want to stay anywhere else. We have stayed twice and cannot wait for the third time. The location is great, the decor and atmosphere sophisticated and the staff knows how to treat their guests. I suggest trying the spa, the roof top baths are unique and very relaxing. The resturant and room service both are very good or there are fabulous choices for dining within walking distance. Our last stay was due to weather and airline cancellations, the Hotel Vitale turned what should have been an inconvienence into a romantic getaway and a great memory. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r427549 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r1103463 My wife came into the City over the Thanksgiving weeked for a "date night." We chose Hotel Vitale after reading about it on Citysearch and were not disappointed. The service was great and we were upgraded to a room with 180 degree views of the Bay! What a surprise. The room was spacious, spotless and of couse the view from the Ferry Building to the Bay Bridge. Check out the roof while you are staying there as well. We'd be back for sure. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r1103463 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r1103460 pros: nutjobs on mission-funnyHotel Vitale is a great place to say. Maybe they have one employee who is rude? Which hotel doesn't? I read what the author said, "emotional violence", what a ninny, grow up, and have a whiskey. As for the hotel: the beds are nice and clean, and the staff is a bit distant, but this is on Mission so they have lots of nutjobs out and about so take the time to get to know them, like you should do at any hotel, or any new environment; the more intrest you take in other, the more they will in you. Simple, really. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r1103460 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r1103457 pros: Lame apology after the damage was doneI am so glad I found out about the incident whereupon the prejudiced Hotel Manager ignorantly demanded that N'gugi wa Thiong'o leave the premises of this Hotel. This blatant display of racism is despicable and I'm so grateful didn't book my vacation at this hotel! It's very sad that websites continue to recommend it thusly despite this appalling information. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Vitale_San_Francisco/r1103457
