The hotel knew nothing about the Shell gas gift card that was part of my package. I wrote to Travel Zoo to try to resolve this matter. Staffing was a bit hectic and unreliable-possibly an under-staffing issue.

Their location is fantastic, so close to fisherman wharf, north point, Chinatown all within walking distance. Parking everywhere is expensive, but there is a lot across the street, that is a little more reasonable than the hotel. The hotel seems to be known for the music, but the DJ in the lobby is just a little too loud. We had a good stay, staff is wonderful.

Room was very good except that there was only one chair for 3 of us and that chair was not suitable for relaxing or reading. Also, no space in room to play games. Request for an additional chair was rejected. This was our only complaint, but because of this, we would not book this hotel again. Service was friendly and helpful.

there is not enough light in the units, bathroom lighting is too dark and it's hard to do make up and hair. Similarly since the unit was on the 2nd floor, and facing another building across, it was not practical to keep the blinds open so one was forced to keep them closed for the most part and that too meant that unit was too dark at all times.

I stayed the evening at the Alton because I didn't want to drive the 90 minutes home at night following a work obligation in the city (Dogpatch neighborhood). The deal offered by TZ at the Alton was too good to pass up. I really just stayed for one night: took a shower, slept and left the next morning. It is evident the Alton is an older property. And the photos online did not match the hotel in real life. Still, it was a pleasant enough stay and the staff was very nice.

I was surprised at the neighborhood driving to the Alton. It appeared so lovely online but the surrounding area is not so sparkly. The staff was very friendly though and valet parking is convenient and quick. I'm dedicated to Kimpton Hotels so I will always give them a priority when choosing where to stay.
