Hotel Frank
Formerly the Maxwell Hotel. From the hotel:
Let’s face it, subtlety is so last season. In our fast-paced, very self-expressed world, bold is the new black. Being “in” means being unapologetically you. It’s a refreshing energy that’s liberating, candid, and always, always frank.

Room With an Anti-View: Personality's Maxwell Hotel in San Fran

Partner Reviews: Hotel Frank

Place is great. Protestors are hilarious! Better than waking up to a rooster crowing -
Love this place!! -
Stayed in one of the Penthouse Lofts. Loved it! Protesters outside this morning but didn't cause any problems. Beautiful suite, great view from the terrace. Will stay here again! -
Currently there is a picket line. Good for them. -
Love the service! Manager Dayna is beyond amazing. -
Stay somewhere else. Anywhere else. -
If you haven't signed the papers yet - Don't. Stay somewhere else. -
Wear earplugs if you stay on a Friday night so you won't get woken up by the protesters who make a racket at 7am on Saturdays. Also avoid them by entering the hotel through the restaurant - Max's. -
Its right at the center of this city and the room is very beautiful, clean and comfy. -
This place is a dead zone for AT&T coverage. Switch to Edge network and you should be ok. -
Awesome hotel. Staff extremely helpful and efficient. I hear theyre going to renovate which is exciting bc this crazy b&w carpet doesn't do it for me :) but pets welcome,you'll always feel@home here -
