I had a mixed experience during my stay. The stunning views from my room were definitely a highlight, especially the sunset over the Bay Bridge, which made the cost seem worthwhile. However, the service fell short in a few areas, particularly with the room change and the billing issues I encountered. Overall, while the location is fantastic, I expected a little more from a Four Seasons hotel.

Rooms

My room had amazing views of both the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge, but the water pressure in the bathroom was lacking, making it difficult for a quick shower.

My stay at the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero had its high points, especially the amazing views from the 44th floor, showcasing both the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges. However, I felt the overall experience was slightly overshadowed by some shortcomings, like outdated fitness equipment and the absence of a full-service restaurant. While service was attentive, the pricing for food could use some reconsideration. Overall, it has potential, but there's room for improvement.

I didn't dine much on-site, but the few items I sampled felt overpriced for the quality and portions. The restaurant downstairs could really benefit from a menu revamp.

My stay at the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco At Embarcadero was largely good, highlighted by amazing views of the Bay and really good service from the staff. The room was spacious and well-appointed, although I found the absence of in-room tea and coffee making facilities a bit disappointing. Additionally, the parking fees were on the higher side, which was a minor downside to an otherwise enjoyable experience.

I had a lovely one-night stay at the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco At Embarcadero. The service was really good, with the concierge and doormen going above and beyond to make my experience smooth and enjoyable. However, the room I stayed in had an inconvenient air conditioning unit that disrupted my sleep. Overall, the stunning views of the bay and attentive staff made up for a few minor issues.
