We loved our large corner room (214) because it was sunny and quite spacious even with two (very comfy) beds, thanks mainly to the 11-foot ceilings and the 5-windowed anteroom overlooking both Sutter and Octavia Streets. It provided a very nice sitting area for morning coffee or a sunset glass of wine. The ultra-Victorian decor was well done, and was both practical & fanciful. What a nice change of pace from typical modern hotel room decor! The antique wardrobe closet was a bit small, as was the modern bathroom, but both were fully adequate.
The front desk staff were top-notch and welcoming.
Beyond the entry lobby of the hotel is an expansive & beautifully-appointed pair of sitting rooms: old-fashioned, elegant and inviting parlors in which to socialize or just relax in front of one of the 2 or 3 fireplaces. Breakfast is served in another lovely, large room, and there's also some outdoor seating for when it's warm enough. The breakfast buffet is good, meaning adequate, but fresh-cooked eggs would sure be a welcome upgrade to only hard-boiled eggs and, imo, please substitute crisp bacon instead of mediocre & greasy sausage patties. We opted to go out for breakfast on two of our three mornings since SF has so many excellent delicious morning eateries. But the hotel buffet is just fine and SO convenient if you want to get a jump on the day.
Given its lovely ambience, central location, and reasonable pricing, the Queen Anne is our go-to hotel in San Francisco.
