This was a big treat for us. Situated in the upscale neighborhood of Pacific Heights, this hotel provides exceptional hospitality. Street parking is easy to find and feels safe, though one should always be cautious -- don't leave visible items in the car and, of course, keep the car doors locked. Beginning with a warm welcome at the reception desk and, assuming you arrive in the afternoon, hot beverages and cookies, one feels immediately at home in a peaceful surrounding. Our room was well-appointed and every need was addressed. A welcome plate of fresh fruit awaited us; the mattress was super-comfortable. There was a choice of pillows, luxurious toiletries, a bedside water bottle, closet amenities, such as shoe horns and beautiful hangers. The soft colors of the room and the view towards the San Francisco Bay enchanted us. We wanted to watch a classic holiday movie, so a member of the staff brought us a DVD player and set it up for us. We opted to skip dinner after enjoying sumptuous hors d'oeuvres and exquisite, local wines during the early evening. At breakfast we enjoyed a cooked-to-order hot breakfast, fresh fruit, delicious coffee and pastries. Very simply, it was for us a holiday treat and a memorable stay. We're actually native San Franciscans, but no longer live in The City. We highly recommend The Drisco Hotel for an amazing San Francisco experience.
