Queen Anne Hotel Review

Built in the 1890s as a girls' finishing school and located in fashionable Pacific Heights, this Victorian mansion has a large comfortable parlor done up in red brocade, lace, and heirloom antiques. Original stained glass, inlaid wood floors throughout its elegant hallways, and fireplaces combines romance with modern day comforts. Complimentary amenities include an expanded continental breakfast, daily newspaper, weekday courtesy car service downtown, iPod docking stations, and afternoon tea and sherry. The versatile parlor, salon, boardroom, library, and small covered outdoor courtyard make this a popular spot for weddings. Recent renovations added new beds, linens, granite tiled bathrooms and painted cherub murals to the guest rooms. Some rooms provide wood-burning fireplaces.

    Reading fodors I had great expectations for this place as fodors usually leads me right.
    I changed my reservation to the weekend from the weekday on the phone, this ended up with my rate jumping 100%. Because I did not review in a timely manner (my fault I admit), and a 7 day cancellation policy, I got stock with a nasty bill. When I asked clerk to try to change I got laughed at and mocked given that $800 for a weekend is not in my budget.
    Breakfast was disappointing (although poppee seed bread is worth a plate)
    Far from everywhere. Through reading and their website I was under the impression the wharf was nearby.
    Not well marked so that you may not easily find it (drove by twice).
    Windows are old so not much noise protection from the street.
    Easy access parking was great.
    Nice furniture...
    Rooms are large (what you are paying for) yet dark and not homely.
    Haunted by ghosts according to local tours (not kidding..a tour guide comes by everynight)
    For $400/night, you can do a lot better. If you get a cheap weekday special, then maybe go for it.
