San Fran's Parc 55 Will Become a Wyndham Next Month
Remember when we salivated over this view? This is an executive suite at the Parc 55 Hotel in San Francisco which was not as attainable as the hotel's promotion last summer made us believe. This was the photo the hotel used to advertise $99 rooms but these rooms actually cost...

Can You Really Get This View at the Parc 55 Hotel for $99?
We clicked through on a recent USA Today article about San Francisco's newest hotel deals because, duh, we love deals. But we were also swayed by the picture that went along with the story. Taken at the Parc 55 Hotel, the picture shows two things we love the most...

Parc 55 Hotel is good hotel in a good location
A very nice hotel in a safe area. Just a block from the trolley,the Bart station, the visitors center and a HUGE Macy's. The rooms were larg...
Good hotel for location and price
If you want to be at Market and Powell then this place is really a good deal. We knew what we were getting into in regards to the area / crowds, but still chose this hotel based on an online package with air. Rooms are great, view is awesome, staff is friendly. Muni/BART very accessible. I just read another review and would like to comment on Mr. Nickle and Dime man: Parking - There are garages all around you so you are not forced to pay $50 a night. How about $15 a night one block away, it's an early bird special if you are out by 9:30am. Worked for us. Breakfast - Find somewhere to eat or pick up baked goods when you are out for the next day. Also, the 31st floor is where it's really a free breakfast offered by the hotel. FREE. Wifi - you are right on that. $13 a day stinks. but that's the going rate in this area. Water in your room for 4.50 - yeah dude, have you even heard of a mini bar? It's the same theory. There are about 50 Walgreens near you here so not sure what the problem is. 3 gallons for $3 bucks. Package - again, open your eyes. There is a Post Office right across the street in the Macys. No offense Mr. but it seems that this basic stuff is not at all worth complaining about. Hotel is a nice place and we'd stay here again. For out of towners I'd highly recommend.
Nickel-and-Dimed
I found this hotel to be comfortable, convenient and pleasant with a super helpful staff. The only drag was that it felt like I was being nickle-and-dimed all over the place. "Of course there's parking for guests! It's $50/night." "Of course there's a continental breakfast! That'll be $5 for coffee and a muffin." "Of course there's WiFi! It's $13/day." "Of course there's water in your room. $4.50/bottle sound ok?" "Of course we can mail a package for you! There's just an $8 processing fee." You get the idea. Maybe this is standard practice for fancy hotels, but it felt like I was being shaken down at every turn. I got a great price on this hotel through Hotwire, but next time, I'd rather stay at a 3 star hotel where it doesn't cost me extra to do anything besides sleep in my bed. (But who knows, maybe there was some Parc 55 "sleeping fee" that was tacked onto my bill too!)
Location Location LOCATION
The girl who wrote the last review most be smoking some seriously good crank, because you will not find a nicer hotel, in a better location for a fraction of the money you'll spend at parc 55. the stratford on powell, two streets over charges about 130 a night, more than we paid and it pales in comparisson on every level. as far as the noise, you're staying in union square lady! downtown! there is bound to be noise, there's not one hotel in the city that can control drunk people on a saturday night...believe me...they've tried. that said...what a great hotel. one block from the muni, the trolley and the bus! one block from market and the most amazing shopping center you will ever lay eyes on (touch screen LCD directories? really?) the beds are super comfortable, made up with plush down comforters that make you want to run jump and face plant into them, i highly reccomend it. the room service is decent, but then again you have lori's diner right around the corner. a great irish pub called foleys and uptown sports bar, both great places where you're bound to meet some lively characters. honestly....i will be staying at the parc 55 again, it can't be beat.
Average Hotel in Good Location
My BF and I decided to drive up from SoCal and spend the weekend in San Francisco. We normally try and find a deal on a 4 star boutique hotel through Priceline, but booked Parc 55 through Expedia because they had a March special. Well, other 4-star hotels I've stayed at have quiet rooms with great beds. Parc 55 has really noisy rooms and beds that might also double as trampolines; very hard and springy and uncomfortable. On the up side, the location is great, the linens were nice and room service was wonderful for breakfast. We had a nice view from our south-facing room on the 18th floor. Parc 55 is okay, but there are so many quieter, more comfortable options within a stone's throw.
Great views
We booked a standard room, and received room 1901--which was great! It was a corner room and had 180 degree views of the city. It was gorgeous. The staff was great. Only neg-the windows are a little thin, so you can hear the city sounds. Otherwise, it was outstanding!
Parc 55 is close to it all
This was a great place to stay. Our room was nice and big with a great view.
-
Perfect location for shopping!!! -
The real continental breakfast is in the executive lounge on the 31st floor. Don't settle for the offerings in the lobby. -
everything was great, comfortable and clean. also the location was very good. -
Great hotel!!! Stayed for Gay Pride and had an excellent time!!! -
Best view in the city!!! I think I'm going to consider becoming a resident here. -
Crappy WiFi, Continental Breakfast is just ridiculous. Everything else is quite good. Excellent location. -
Plenty of fast elevators -
Great location, by lots of great shopping! The lounge is very upscale and better if you are on an expense account! -
The location of this hotel is great. Near the BART station & just a short walk from Union Square. Some rooms also have a beautiful view of city hall. -
Despite the discount for SQ crew, the breakfast could have been better..... -
Logan's Run-style architecture has retro-futuristic vibe. We recently threw a party in this downtown hotel and our guests were impressed. Great spot! -
Wifi tips. Walk to nordstrom or it's next door. Free -
Lobby is nice. Rooms are old fashion, service is crap and health club has worse machines ever. First and last time here. -
$48 parking -

Pictures on their site were way more impressive than the hotel. Says they have all day room service and was on hold for 30 minutes before I had to call the operator for them to tell me they don't open

Do not offer free internet, and the wireless is a joke -
Avoid this hotel if possible. unpersonal huge hotel with bad service. -
