Exception service in a very cool space

Liked:What stood out for me was the staff. Everyone excelled at being extremely helpful. One of the lamps wasn't working, and it was fixed (or replaced) by the time we returned to our room. We received daily housekeeping service, which seems like a little thing, but many hotels have stopped offering it, and I've come not to rely on in most places. Coming into a clean room with fresh towels always put a smile on my face. At check-in we were offered an upgraded room, and at my request one that faced the street (to avoid side wall views). The room was larger than expected; I appreciate a room that has a sitting area and a desk (which I used every day). Every detail of the room was thoughtfully curated, from the fascinating wall graphics, to an extremely comfortable bed, to bedside USB charging ports, to a bulletin board over the desk, to thoughtfully placed lighting, to a beautiful and functional bathroom (with its own window), to a nice nespresso machine, complete with pods and creamer. I especially appreciated the lobby level coffee/pastry restaurant. The hotel restaurant and bar were very inviting, but our schedule didn't allow time to explore. It was definitely a plus for many guests. The hotel has a single elevator for its seven floors, but it was remarkably efficient. I rarely had to wait. Finally, I hadn't been to San Francisco since the pandemic, and I had prepared myself for a city in decline. Quite the contrary. The city felt alive and safe. Overall, this was a real find, only steps from Powell Street and Union Square.

Amenity Fee

Liked:The hotel was fine. Good location, clean, modern, and the public areas looked like fun places to hang out. We were just there for a night, though. Honestly, the music theme seemed, at least to me, to be a bit contrived. I got a terrific price through Tripadvisor. Just $120 for a room that could have cost more. The surprise when I got the bill, though, was an amenity fee of over $40. Amenity fees really bother me. I do my best to avoid any hotel that charges them. They’re really disingenuous. What was the fee supposed to get me? I heard afterward that it should have gotten me a drink at the bar, but that was never offered. I read somewhere that it was supposed to get me a hot towel upon check-in, which of course is silly, but it didn’t happen. Up in the room, there’s a menu board with lots of extras that the amenity fee covers, but they were nothing I would use. Hotel Emblem, doing this is not a good business plan. I do overnighters in San Francisco about 10 times a year, but Hotel Emblem will not be on my go to list. After many emails and phone calls through Tripadvisor and the hotel, I did get the amenity fee returned. I imagine most people would just let it go and allow the hotel to pocket the money. I don’t know if the blame should go to Tripadvisor or the hotel, but in 2026, these junk fees should be done away with.

A special gem neary Union Square, focused on extraordinary service.

Disliked:My choice of a street-facing room may not have been the best one. Sidewalk noise, even five floors up, sometimes wafted through the room, but that was due to my choice, really, and certainly not the hotel's fault (in fact, a white noise machine was included in the room). The only negative at all was that the window (that offered the street view I'd asked for) was so dirty I thought it might have been intentionally flocked. I raised the sash to clean the bottom 18" (as others had done), which helped some. But it was a minor issue compared to everything else the hotel offered.
