review: We were lucky enough to stay at this wonderful hotel for 4 nights. The location was ideal for us as we used the cable cars to get around, although we had to walk to Fisherman's Wharf and back twice as the long waits between cars meant that the queues were just too long. The walk took less than half an hour so it was no real issue. We much preferred the quiet location on Nob Hill to either Union Square or Fisherman's Wharf. As previous reviewers have stated, the lobby is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant is also stunning and breakfast each morning was a relaxing way to start the day. The food selections were very good and service was excellent. We visited the Tonga Room, just to have a quick drink and ended up with a $70 bill because of the entertainment charge - a very expensive way to spend 20 minutes! Not to be repeated.We found all the staff to be helpful and friendly. We also greatly enjoyed seeing all the old photos on the walls - a reminder of the Fairmont's historical past. The photos of the Fairmont standing alone amidst the desolation of the earthquake were especially moving.We had booked 2 interior rooms, but on arrival agreed to share a room on the first night as the hotel had overbooked. We shared an exterior room which was huge and we were then upgraded to the tower for the following 3 nights where we had wonderful views right across the bay. Furnishings were of a similar high quality in both rooms.We loved the Fairmont and would highly recommend the hotel.
question: Does this hotel have a good city view?
