No-frills approach not to everybody's liking.
Taylor Hotel San Francisco adopts a no-frills approach, opting to go without some typical hotel amenities, including air conditioning. This approach doesn't prove to be a positive experience for some guests, who would prefer a few additional extras and updated amenities. The hotel does offer irons, ironing boards, hairdryers, and alarm clocks for a charge.
negative:
Some cleanliness issues experienced.
A number of guests express disappointment at the level of cleanliness at the hotel. According to reports, some rooms can be a little dusty, whilst some bathrooms have issues with mold. Some guests would also prefer housekeeping was undertaken on a daily basis, something that does not occur at Taylor Hotel San Francisco.
negative:
Traffic and street noise can be disruptive.
While many guests enjoy a quiet night, others report that noise from outside the hotel can be disruptive when it comes to sleeping. Rooms facing onto Taylor Street in particular are said to be noisier than expected.
