Disappointing for a Kimpton

Not up to par for a Kimpton - amenities were pretty basic and hotel needs a refresh.

My husband and I went with our kids (3 and 1) and it was amazing! The daily happy hour provided coloring for my daughter and it was a 2 minute walk to the wharf. Definitely will be going back! Also, check out the restaurant! More of a sharing style but delicious!

The Alton was the perfect place to stay in San Francisco! It was within walking distance to great areas and Abaca (the restaurant in the hotel) was fabulous! Everyone was really accommodating as well.

I’ll stay somewhere else next time

I picked this place over others and paid more because it looked nice and I love Kimpton usually and I was supposed to get some sort of membership perks from hotels.com. Got no perk and maybe I just got a bad room but was very meh. Basically an English basement room. Just really underwhelmed. Gym is very small. Everything very meh but the restaurant.

So many things make this hotel unique! Each room has its own record player & there are records available to borrow in the lobby. I loved listening to Harry Styles on vinyl while getting ready in the morning :) the Filipino restaurant, Abaca, in the lobby was absolutely amazing and a must try. This hotel was clean, the staff were so kind, and the location was perfect! Would definitely come back!

The young man on the late night front desk is an asset to this hotel. He is friendly and always willing to help. We checked out at 5am and he was hospitable and helpful. The room was also lovely and had some nice touches to celebrate my birthday. Thank you!
