Staff are welcoming and helpful. The location is convenient to public transportation, there is a BART station just steps away. The hotel is within walking distance to Union Square, the Ferry Building, or for a stroll along the promenade with a view of the water. Guests of the hotel can enjoy 10% discount from the restaurants in the Embarcadero complex. One not to miss is the excellent Harborview Chinese restaurant.

This was our second stay at the Orchard Garden Hotel and we will be back. The standard rooms are very quiet, spacious, relaxing, with coffee maker, fridge and aircon. Great sleep every night! Everything is of high quality and comfort, beds, linen, toiletries, service. Location is very central, right next to Chinatown and only few mins walk from eateries and public transport. We never felt unsafe in the surrounding area. Really, what more do you need for a nice, relaxing holiday?

This was my fifth trip to San Francisco and I’ve stayed in a different hotel each time. Mainly because I haven’t liked one enough to return. Well we will definitely be staying at the St Regis next time. The staff were wonderful and very accommodating. We had our 7 month old with us and they couldn’t have been more helpful with bedding and amenities for him. The staff also greeted him whenever they saw him. The only hiccup was we had to wait nearly an hour for our room to be ready and that was...
