Let me say, we love staying at the Queen Anne. We've stayed multiple times and will stay again despite the 3 start rating. The location is perfect for us (near family, Filmore Dining and Japantown) and they have real suites, a must when traveling with a teen. And it's affordable! (Check all travel sites, their own site is not always the best price). I wish they had a points program! What is the issue? The literal pain in my back. The springs of every single sofa, chair and mattress are worn to the point of incredible discomfort. The lobby is full of seating (which makes it wonderful, it even has two fireplaces plus nooks) so that's a lot of worn springs. I've even found a nearby chiropractor because the seating is so bad I can barely stand up straight after a few days. I now bring my own lumbar pillow (there are some lumbar pillows there, they are decorative, not for support). I have never stayed in a hotel with this problem. Ever. I want to give the QA a five star rating because of the price, the Victorian "theme", the full breakfast and friendliness of staff etc, but comfort is a factor and it shouldn't come to needing to avoid most of the furniture and bringing my own lumbar pillow. I hope they can make the change and I can rate it five starts next time.

It’s a beautiful old building and all the old furnishings are beautiful as well. It is pretty run down and the room was not very well maintained.

The hotel lobby is well-decorated and staff are friendly”. However, the room was not very clean and I got multiple bug/insect bites in my room bites during my two night stay.

The ornate 19th-century woodwork creates a charming atmosphere. Breakfast is better than most but hard-boiled eggs were overcooked. Staff were courteous. Overall, a good value.

I booked a queen suite with a pull out couch for 3. I was drawn to the hotel's Victorian charm and it's proximity to Japan Town. The hotel was gorgeous and the atmosphere was very welcoming. The breakfast was a nice touch too. I did have a spooky experience though. During the first night of my stay I fell asleep on my stomach and shifted around wedging my pillow between my chin and the headboard which crained my neck at a weird angle. I felt my self being shifted by my shoulders and I started to wake up a little. I got kinda mad bc I just thought it was my fiance waking me up for some unknown reason, when I got this... feeling? voice? something telling me that my neck was in an uncomfortable position. Next thing I knew I was on my back with my pillow under my head and my blankets pulled over me and I drifted back to sleep thinking nothing of it. The next night I asked my fiance about it and she told me she didn't move me or even wake up that night. I kinda went into denial mode and suggested she just was sleepy and didn't remember. After we got home, I found out this place was the most haunted hotel in SF. Apparently it was built as a boarding school for girls and it's rumored to be haunted by Mary Lake, the former headmistress who loved the school and was devastated after it closed. She's known to be a friendly spirit who takes care of guests, and even tucks them in. Her room was one floor above ours to the left. Didn't believe in ghosts until now. 10/10 life changing stay.

This property is beautiful if you appreciate the style. It’s a 3-star hotel so that’s what you get overall, what is charming about the property is that is a preserved 120 year old building and decor. The staff is super friendly, it’s walking distance to many dinning options and if you are not afraid of walking a bit extra, you can be at the fisherman’s wharf in about 40 min.

The hotel with its gilded age charm was a fun deviation from the standard chain hotel. The bed was super comfortable. I loved the lobby with all the little conversation areas including a couple in front of fireplaces. Breakfast was more than expected with many options. The happy hour cookies and sherry were a classy touch that fit the overall vibe of the hotel.

Beautiful Victorian house that transports you to the 1800s with its decor of antique artifacts. It's like stepping back in time. The rooms are large, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxing stay. I just wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy it all.

This place is a Gem
Absolutely genuine decor, friendly staff, amazing furnishings in an old style luxury hotel. Our room was spacious. The breakfast was nice as well and the dining room has plenty of space. Make time to just enjoy this place. Close walking distance to Japan town for authentic ramen. Note: there is parking in a well lit lot across the street but do not leave anything inside. We were fine, no one had breaking, but be smart.

I am so sorry you didn't enjoy staying at our hotel. I will look into any notes and make the necessary changes so that any future stays will not be impacted.

I booked the hotel because of the proximity of my scheduled workshop. I did not know that the hotel was haunted until we settled in room 410 and I googled it. The first night at around midnight the mattress moved as if somebody sat down which scared me. Fortunately the heater and the fridge made noises that calmed me down. The next 2 nights were fine. The breakfast was good and delicious cookies and sherry were served in the afternoon. The only other unexplainable thing: both my husband and I swear “The Mary Lake Suite” sign on our door was invisible to us during our 3 day stay. We only saw it later in pictures of the hallway that I took.
