Negative Reviews
negative:
Can be a little loud
With a location in downtown, many guests have noted that the area around the Touchstone Hotel can be noisy—especially between the traffic, the tourism trade, and the hotel guests. .
negative:
No air conditioning
Although San Francisco is generally a temperate city, some guests have noted that, during the warmer months, the hotel can heat up due to its lack of air conditioning. If staying in a stuffy room would detract from your vacation, you may wish to book during the cooler seasons. .
negative:
On the edge of the Tenderloin
Several prior visitors have noted the hotel's proximity to the Tenderloin District—a rougher part of the city. To put you at ease, though, many guests also reported feeling safe and secure despite the seedier nearby neighborhood.
