WorldMark San Francisco

Each summer I visit San Francisco and I keep looking for those crazy kids. About 10 years ago I noticed a bunch of kids gathered across the street. They would take turns rolling down the sidewalk while another would video the rolling one with their phone. Looked like they were getting pretty dirty as lots of stuff gets on the sidewalk and it's never cleaned by humans. I use to roll down grass covered hills at the park when I was a kid. It was cool watching them from the window of my room at the Worldmark.

I try to book early and get a room on the top floor as there is less noise the higher up you are. You do have to walk up a flight of stairs as the elevator doesn't go to the top floor.

Rooms are cozy. You can plug your laptop or game system into the HDMI port of the hdtv. Mini fridge keeps leftovers and fruit from spoiling.

Location is excellent as I like walking to Chinatown. Bus is a block away. Cable car is a block away.

Service is excellent here. There was an issue with the toilet filling every 15 minutes which the maintenance guy could not fix so eventually we were switched to a different room with no toilet problem.

Each year I visit I look out the window hoping to see those crazy urban kids again. Maybe next time...

We are Workdmark members and were headed to San Francisco for a concert. Decided to use Bonus Time as it was about 2 miles from The Chase Center.

Cute small studio. Didn't have a kitchenette like most but still had all the amenities we needed. Especially since we were there only one night.

It's a cute old brick building and honestly the only drawback was it has that old building smell. Not an off putting moldy smell though. I highly recommend it if in town.

As far as parking, if you need it there is a parking garage across the street for a daily fee.

Pros:

I liked the idea of being in SF.
Around the corner from Chinatown
Some eateries
Ritz Carlton Hotel
The concierge (Elijah) was helpful and professional
Shampoo/conditioner located in bathrooms

Cons:
Location
Parking is an issue- no onsite parking. There is a city garage across the street. They don't validate. However, the city garage has a deal if you park from 6 pm to 9 am, there is a flat rate of $20. They also have a contract with another company. It is over $60 a day.
Noise(our number one complaint). We should have known when we saw the complimentary earplugs in the room. During our first night stay- in the middle of the night we heard bullhorns, cars honking, cars screeching, people talking, and the sounds of the buses passing by. If you're looking for somewhere quiet- this is not the place.
When you flush the toilet- you will hear a "gulping" sound come from the shower drain.


I was told to avoid 4-5 blocks out (Civic Center to Tenderloin area).

Maybe we will give this resort another try in the future. We needed a little getaway that only made us feel more exhausted.

This hotel only has up to a one bedroom. I was expecting it to be a lot smaller than it was, so I was pleasantly surprised.

The staff, like most Worldmark's, was friendly and helpful; the hotel was clean.

The strange thing though is the flooring. If you weren't on ground level, the floors sloped, so my equilibrium felt off, and when I'd walk in the room I felt
Like I'd fall. I gather it's because of the age of the building...

What's also nice is the location. It's only a few blocks from Union Square and there is a parking garage right across the street.

My son and I stayed two nights, we were in a busy area so it can get noisy but it wasn't too bad. The staff at the front desk were very nice and attentive. When we arrived late at night for check in they were so welcoming. I would definitely recommend WorldMark San Francisco.

Small but comfortable Studio

We stayed here for the weekend and sufficed our lodging needs nicely. Hubby planned the parking details since there is no associated garage or parking space with this resort. Parking in San Francisco is outrageously expensive so we used the garage at California Parking on Sansome Street. I had no idea that it was some 0.8 miles (19-min walk) from WorldMark with some uphill walk. Yikes! But I was able to close some Rings on my watch LoL

We had a studio unit on the 4th floor. The hallways and our room was clean as what we come to expect from WorldMark as owners. We were not used to the small size of the room, though, but it's okay, it had all the amenities we needed including a small microwave and a fridge.

The staff were friendly from check-in to check-out. They did mention attending an owner update but the concierge did not push us to attend, which we were thankful for.

This location is a very close walk to the Dragon's Gate in Chinatown on Grant Street, Nob Hill, and Union Square. It is also located just one block from the Powell Street Cable Car.

Review #2653

Great location, good room sizes and good privacy. No parking but that's to be expected. Seems to blend in in a good way, didn't feel like tourists staying here! Clean and friendly and 24hr checkin.

Literally my home away from home. Staff & Their GM is ALWAYS friendly and willing to whatever it takes to make their guest happy.

I've stayed here twice once about 2 years ago and on my most recent trip to SF and I have no major complaints. The room was obviously clean and well stocked. I would recommend if possible staying on the 4th floor or higher because the bottom two floors depending on where you are, are by the street and it can get loud at night with people and cars and whatnot. The concierge and front desk people were all friendly.

Stayed here a few times and the one bedroom with 2 bathrooms is a good size. There is a lot of street noise, but they do provide ear plugs. The staff was friendly. One gentleman, I believe his name was Michael, was incredibly helpful and knows a lot about the area, and gave great recommendations. The parking is extremely expensive, at about $67 per night, but overall we had a pleasant stay.

First time I have ever experienced a cockroach in a timeshare, lots of minor issues, most everything looks nice from a distance but up close a lot of age related issues from trim, doors, no USB outlets and comical nightly rates listed.
You can hear tenants in adjacent rooms and when anyone walks down the hall
I would not recommend this facility as it is over priced and in need of too many repairs!
The only positive attributes are it's location free ear plugs, free laundry machines and outward appearance!
