The other day we gave you an update on what was next for Personality Hotels including the renovations of two hotels--the York and the Maxwell.
We mentioned that rooms at the York (which will be called the Hotel Vertigo by August) were as low as $89 a night but that you could be in the middle of a construction zone. However, Hotel Maven Brandon sent us this extremely helpful hotel tip:
Saw the piece of posted yesterday about the York Hotel transformation into Hotel Vertigo, and wanted to chime in.
I'm at the York Hotel at the moment, booked a room via Expedia for $89/night, and was given the "model" room, which is a sample room of what the rooms will look like post-renovation. I have to say, it's really beautiful.
There's more from Brandon after the jump.
Very spacious, modern, sleek, almost on the same par with The Clift. In fact, I would probably opt to stay here over The Clift in the future, if the rates were good.
In case anyone is interested, perhaps it would be possible to request the "model" room in advance, because at $89 it's a steal.
Brandon also sent us some iPhone pics of the room so we could see what this model room looks like for real. And yes, he is getting the rest of our highly-coveted gold star and scratch-n-sniff stickers collection.
But seriously, this is probably the best deal in San Fran right now, especially considering all Personality Hotels have free WiFi. If you can't make it before the renovation is complete, don't worry. The room rate will stay stay under $200 a night when it officially opens at the Hotel Vertigo in August 2008.
