We loved the club lounge. Coffee and tea was available all day and until 10:30 pm. We would meet our friends there in the AM and plan our day. Some evenings they have a happy hour and that was nice too. The staff was wonderful, the place clean. Our only complaint was that they were having wifi problems so we were without it for a day or two. I would stay there again.

The Donatello is a favorite stay for us when we visit San Francisco … it is conveniently located. It’s an easy walk from the BART/Muni station. The rooms are spacious and clean. But the reason why we keep coming back and back is because of the outstanding staff. They are friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to accommodate and assist.

We had a great stay at Donatello in their remodeled rooms. They offered a lot of space, were clean and staff was friendly as well. The gym was small and the building is too small to provide breathtaking views from the rooftop terrace but this was not an issue for us
