We were one of the first guests (maybe even the first) to stay in their new renovated hotel rooms last October during Halloween weekend. Hotel Frank used to be the Maxwell Hotel but is now owned by the Personality Hotel chain. My girlfriend and I were very happy when we got up to the room. Cool modern look to the room with a great view of the city. ...

We frequent San Francisco for weekend trips, because it’s a nifty city, and it’s not too far from home. We have stayed at all of the finer hotels in the city, and for our 10th wedding anniversary opted for The Frank. Their do not disturb door signs say on one side “Don’t Bother” We should all heed that warning. It ...

Good Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/01/08
I used priceline and got this hotel. After reading reviews, I was somewhat hesitant about staying here.
However, once I arrived, I was happily surprised. Yes, definitely there was some street noise (I was on the 7th floor), but this hotel is in the heart of downtown. So, if that's your thing, it really can't be beat. And with that ...

perfect location for touring
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/28/07
This hotel was located within walking distance to the trams,subway/bart system and to downtown. The staff were very helpful and they had a restaurant/bar on-site. The room was small and it did not get much sunlight. The front desk staff was very up-front about this fact when we checked in. The room was very clean and quite and if you are the type ...

Right in the middle of everything!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/25/07
We loved our stay at The Maxwell Hotel. The staff was very courteous and professional. The hotel is situated one block from Union square and the Powell-Hyde and Powell-Mason cable car routes. The restaurant, Max's, which services the hotel and is open to the public is also delicious! When we return we may not stay at the Maxwell, but we ...

NEVER again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/13/07
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE STAYING HERE!!!!!!! This Hotel is filthy, old and scary. I could not sleep the whole night. The web site for the hotel is VERY deceiving. The rooms do NOT look like they do online. DO yourself a favor, PLEASE save your money, and DO NOT stay here! The room was dirty, and the windows would not open. The carpet is worn ...
This hotel is in a great location right in the heart of Union Square. Parking in San Fransicso tends to be very pricey and difficult to find so one of the highlights of this hotels location is that public transportation is easy to get to from this place, with Muni buses, Cable Cars and even the Powell St. BART station all within a few blocks. ...

Great place to stay with a central loaction
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/16/06
Lsst week I spent 5 days in San Francisco at the Maxwell. I was in town for a conference. The Maxwell Hotel has a great location--within walking distance of almost everything, including shopping, great restaurants, convention center, cable cars, etc. Service at the front desk was friendly and willing to help me find my way around the city. Rooms ...

All around good place to stay!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/05/06
This was our first trip to the Bay Area and we didn't want the nuisance of renting/driving and parking a car. The Maxwell was a block from Union Square in the middle of everything and that was great! The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, the room was very clean, the beds comfortable, and the Maxi Restaurant connected to the hotel was a gem ...
We stayed in the Grand Terrace Penthouse Suite at the Hotel Maxwell for one night, and I can say with confidence that it was the most beautiful room I have ever stayed in! Please note this was a suite and not a standard room, so I can't vouch for any of the other rooms because I didn't see them. The suite had a giant living room with ...
