Amazing design and excellent services. We will be back once this pandemic is over. The room was clean and beds very comfy. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was really, really good (especially considering the small Menu that they have considering the circumstances. THANK YOU PROPER! YOU WERE VERY PROPER! More

Loved everything about the interiors of this hotel, but the location was scary. Not a place I would recommend for solo travelers. The staff was friendly and accommodating which made the stay better than first expected. Be sure to ask for someone to accompany you outside at night if you have a dog that needs to get walked!
Dear hannahW5845IN,
First and foremost, thank you for staying with us at the San Francisco Proper Hotel. We know you have numerous options for lodging when visiting the SF area and we thank you for choosing to stay with us.
Please note the Mid-Market neighborhood is ever changing and we have world class cuisine and great companies such as Dolby Laboratories, Uber, Square, Spotify and Zendesk. This is not just a centralized problem that the Mid-Market neighborhood is experiencing but more of an entire San Francisco issue. We are working tirelessly with not only the Mayor’s Office, Community Ambassadors, San Francisco Travel Association as well as the San Francisco Hotel Council on some of the issues this city is facing all over, and know that San Francisco will overcome and be a great place for all to visit at any time.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback and we look forward to the opportunity to host you again in the near future.
Sincerely,

Due to COVID my family decided to do a staycation for our daughter’s birthday in the city. We are so glad we made the right choice to pick Proper Hotel. Hotel has good COVID procedure that all guests enter have to take temp and answer questions. The front desk director coordinated the team to give us a special arrangement. Alba is so sweet to put up balloons and cake for our girl to surprise her at arrival. Diane at front desk is also very helpful and took good care to every guest at check in/out. It’s a beautiful designed hotel, we stayed at Junior Suite and it’s roomy even with the rollerway bed. I’d suggest family to book this type of room. Hotel room is comfy and clean. ASEOP products are a plus. Roof top brunch and drinks are amazingly good, I love the Japanese breakfast set. Highly recommend for anyone local wish to stay for a special occasion or guest from out town, the hotel is centrally locates and walking distance to mall and union square. Thank you Proper Team to bring us love and joy!

My wife and I were looking for a night away from the kids to try and relax and the Proper Hotel delivered!
First, the price was right for a quick night away... and what we got was a great value. Clean well decorated room with comfy bed, nice sheets, cool bathroom with Aesop toiletries. Very solid.
Secondly the customer service was OUTSTANDING. Every staff member we interacted with was awesome, but Big shoutout to Alba at the front desk. When we checked in our keys weren’t working... so we back downstairs to get that fixed... and we asked about switching locations because the original room had some noisy neighbors. She not only helped us find a new room, she made sure it was in a quiet area so we could get good rest.
Alba came through again for dinner! We had mistakenly booked the patio for dinner when we were hoping to go up to the rooftop bar, Charmaine’s. Opentable said it was boooed for the night, but Alba managed to get us in at a prime 8pm time slot! Saved the whole night!
Lastly, speaking of Charmaine’s... SO GOOD! A definite must do. Because of COVID, it was outdoor only but they had these huge fire pits that served as heaters too so we were perfectly comfortable. Our server, Sydney, was great... gave great recommendations and even helped get my wife a special cocktail off the menu. Drinks were A+... food was great... atmosphere was very cool.
One thing in full disclosure, the location of the hotel is not amazing. Everything around it is pretty urban... so if you are coming into the city to walk around and sight see... I would stay elsewhere. But if you are coming in to chill inside your hotel, go up to a cool rooftop bar to eat and drink... then Proper is your spot!

This hotel has an amazing art collection of local artists in its lobby, well-designed and lovely rooms, and comfortable beds. The service we had was impeccable. We enjoyed room service that was efficient and tasty. Technology is superb with great wifi. We did have hair left in our shower drain which was yucky, but otherwise the room was extremely clean. Overall, and excellent hotel.

The location of this hotel is scary. I am from Portland and very accustom to homelessness as a normal part of life. However, this hotel was in not just in a homeless area, it is in the middle of skid-row. As we arrived, our car was nearly accosted a number of times by people living on the street. We saw people actively shooting-up, and felt afraid that we were going to be mugged just while trying to get to the hotel. Shame on me for not reading the NUMEROUS other reviews prior to booking which all have described a similar experience.
We also were not accommodated by the staff in any way with vegan food options from the kitchen which was really unfortunate since we also weren't able to go outside of the hotel to find food considering the scary location. Also, we wanted to go get a drink at the patio bar/dinner spot. They required you to either purchase a dinner entrée or two appetizers to get a table - reasonable request. But then we ask if they have any vegan options available and they only have fries. My husband then asked if they would allow us to still have a table and we would just order the fries and they could take the rest of what we would ‘spend’ as a charge so that we could meet the '1 entrée or 2 appetizer requirement'. Shockingly, they said they couldn’t and wouldn’t accommodate us!! I was stunned. This establishment set out a requirement that we spend a certain amount of money in order to have a table, we are willing to meet the requirement but we can’t because they don’t offer anything on the menu that meets our dietary restrictions, and even though we’re still willing to OVER pay for drinks and fries in order to meet the requirement, the restaurant still won’t accommodate us even though we are guests at the hotel?!? Seriously poor taste and bad customer service!
Lastly, I was very disappointed to realize that due to the location and lack of safety around this area, we had no option but to use the valet parking at hotel. We had planned to park our car in a garage a few block away and save ourselves on some money considering the high parking rates. Unfortunately, walking back to the hotel after parking the car in our planned location was not an option so we were forced to use the valet parking at the hotel for $65/night. Considering how horrible and unsafe this area is, the hotel should definitely offer complimentary overnight parking for hotel guests!!
