Four Seasons Hotel Embarcadero

I stayed here for 4 nights and the sea view was fantastic. I also tried their breakfast, and on my first order, they brought a fresh carrot and ginger juice along with a dessert (see the last picture). It's very convenient for getting around, with lots of restaurants nearby and close to Chinatown, offering great Chinese food options. The valet service at the entrance was excellent; I noticed they pool their tips, and they were still incredibly helpful even if I forgot to tip – some of them were quite elderly. The room was cleaned thoroughly every day. My only minor complaint was the toilet; sometimes when flushing, water would splash out onto the seat.

Great service and comfortable, spacious rooms. After coming from Yellowstone to San Francisco, it felt like a refreshing return to modern city life.

I checked into room 4105, and the view was fantastic! The Transamerica Building, Coit Tower, Alcatraz Island, and the Golden Gate Bridge were all clearly visible! Every staff member who greeted me called me by name! I haven't experienced this kind of service in a long time.

I've always been a loyal Four Seasons fan, but this hotel was incredibly disappointing. ☹️ There was no lobby. The elevator kept shaking. I was on the 39th floor; just thinking about the elevator makes me shudder. The hotel's decor was extremely rough. The cleanliness was also terrible. A truly awful experience.

The hotel is located in the financial district, 2.1 km from Fisherman's Wharf. The hotel environment and service are excellent! The rooms on higher floors offer great views, including the Golden Gate Bridge on clear days. Highly recommended.
