Guest reviews for Hotel Whitcomb
The property doesn't look anything like the images that are online. The rooms are very small not the "luxury" it shows. When we arrived we were hit with a $36.00 resort fee? RESORT? There was nothing resort like. That fee should be included when you buy the packages online. Also parking is $52.00 a night, if I'm staying at your hotel there that should be included. I ended up paying another $260.00 on top of what I already paid. The hotel overall was not impressive and dirty.

Positives: Great location (right next to BART station), courteous and friendly staff, coffee shop in the lobby (Starbucks).
Negatives: Electric outlets in the room were completely worn—will not hold male plugs without physical supports, low light, tiny bathroom (sitting on the toilet, the sink is an inch from your face), elevators are super small—you will have to wait for another cab a few times (6-8 people with no bags was “full.” Try the next one.)
Of note: Views in pictures are Photoshopped, or at least exaggerated (no skyline on 5th floor due to surrounding buildings.) I didn’t have time to visit their Bar and Restaurant, so I couldn’t say. Visible damage to furniture and walls in the room.
Overall: Great for a 1-day stay, due to location. Room was disappointing—especially the electricity concern (unable to charge my phone for GPS). Would recommend for a travel day, wouldn’t recommend for a longer stay than 24 hours.

The room was ok but when I went to check out they charged me a $30 resort fee. When I checked in the day before the check in person told me I didn’t have to pay it and when I checked out the next day the person said I did and wasn’t very friendly.

This Hotel is listed as 4.5 stars and it dose not meet for a roadside motel.
the materials of the upgrade are HOME DEPOT special, not only low quality materials but also very bad workman ship. i am 5"6" I had bend my knees to wash my hair in the shower, the bathroom sink was only 24 inches wide, not to mention the homeless people that are around that area. For only $20 more a night i spent the weekend at the Marriott on the 36 floor with view of the bay.

The reviews for this hotel seem to be mostly negative. So I was prepared for the worst. I was pleasantly surprised. Yeah, there are a lot of homeless people outside. It's San Francisco in 2018. That's a thing. But it has nothing to do with the hotel. The common areas of the hotel (lobby. hallways) are old and could use a full refresh. But my room, while dated, was clean and comfortable. And that's what matters to me. Its easy to pick on old properties (the tile was old, the plumbing was dated and probably coated in lead paint). but you should be ready for that going in. If you want "brand new" and "fresh" stay somewhere more expensive. The staff was super nice, helpful, and a pleasure to deal with. Would I stay here again? Yup. I would.

Good day Joe, We sincerely appreciate your review, and your 5 star means the world to us. Kevin V/DOO
Bad experience
Cons:
Natural lighting and lighting fixtures.
Location:
shady location. many homeless people around the hotel. The Market Street location seems convenient when booking online but its nuisance while loading
Very bad lighting in the hotel room. Very musty and bad smell on entering the room as if carpet was not cleaned for months. Windows left opened the next night which disturbed our sleep due to loud city noises. Window location did not allow any natural lighting in the room. Not kids friendly at all.
Parking charges were added to the invoice even when we didn't have car parked in the hotel parking.
