JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square Service

A wealth of offerings, but the personal touch isn't always there

A concierge is available until 10 p.m.
With nightly turndown service, a "butler" on call, free shoeshines, and other such perks, the JW Marriott strives to deliver the kind of five-star service guests find at top luxury hotels in the city, such as the St. Regis or the Campton Place Taj. The breadth of services is indeed impressive. What's missing is the palpable feeling of being attended to with care. The waiters were difficult to flag down at the restaurant, for example, and no one came to help with my bags when I pulled up in a taxi.
