Parking is valet, very easy but expensive. Staff were fantastic, room was quiet and comfortable. Beds and pillows could use an update. Water pressure was good, house keeping was good. VIP provided a bottle of wine which was received next day in room. 2 bottle of water per day per room, had to ask for them at front desk. Beer/wine service daily 5-6pm was great. Close to fishermen’s what and all tourist attractions. No concerns when walking at night.

Haven’t been to San Fran in years and was a bit worried about safety. Hotel was very clean and safety wasn’t an issue for us. Loved the complimentary happy hour and record players in the rooms. The restaurant/bar was also lively and lovely.

We stayed for three days, chose the Alton so we were in a safe walkable area. The property was a little disappointing for a Kimpton. We managed to be placed on a lower floor with dumpsters outside that seemed to be emptied at 4am each day. Beds were comfortable, A/C was a little unpredictable and sucked in what the people smoking weed outside didnt want... The Abaca restaurant attached was not the greatest (we've been to the Philippines many times and this aint it) and it is quite expensive. There is a superb Korean directly across that was very impressive and our Korean Uber driver told us it was very well known. Overall, not sure we would stay here again, there are many options in the area, it wasnt terrible at all and the front desk were really good to us, i guess if the room allocation had been better it would be on our short list.

We enjoyed our stay at the Kimpton Alton very much. It was perfect for us. We traveled with 2 teenagers and there was a young, cool vibe with the dj'd happy hour each day. And they loved the record player and available record options. Our rooms were very clean and up to date. No slow draining showers, signs of neglect or stains on the carpet or furniture. The mattress was extremely comfortable! So much so my husband wants me to contact the hotel to ask what kind of mattress we were sleeping on because he forgot to look:). The street outside the hotel is very quiet and feels safe. If you are willing and able to walk....There is so much within walking distance of the hotel. We would defintely come back and stay.

Great location
For a family trip, the area is walking distance to some restaurants, souvenir shops, and the wharf/embarcadero. Noticeably less homeless in the area and on the trolley; feels safer than 2 years ago. It’s still not as lively as precovid, but we still had a great time. The hotel is clean and aesthetically appealing. Staff were pleasant. Valet guys were amazing!

The bed was great and the shower was perfect, but for a premium room it was small and limited. The power station next to the bed did not work. The TV channel selection was very limited. The staff was poor, could not accommodate a late check out and had poor service at the desk. Will not be using this motel again.
