Couple
Oscar from Allen,TX
Couple
Pro : I liked the friendly service from house keeping.
Con : Many of the employees said they couldn't help me with small things (milk from the cafe in the evening, finding extra bags for dirty clothes, etc).
It was an overall good experience. The hotel is super nice and new. The breakfast area is very nice and comfortable. The food selection for breakfast was
okay but it could have improved.

Hotel Guest Reviews of the Sagamore Hotel

Couple
Trish from Miami,FL
Couple
Pro : Art in public areas.
Con : Slow elevators, poor service at front desk, loud A/C in rooms.
Overpriced and overrated. Service at front desk upon arrival was slow and rude. Bellman service was also slow as we got to our room, settled a bit and then head back down only to find our luggage in the exact same place as when we originally went up. The room was modernly dressed, but we could hear through to the neighboring rooms all day. The pull out mattress was very flimsy so ended up just sleeping on the couch itself. A/C in the room was ridiculously loud. Drinks were so expensive at the restaurant and bar. Note that a 15% gratuity is automatically added to the bill now - and the servers are not the first to point it out.

Group Traveler
Athena
Group Traveler
Pro : The bungalow and staff were amazing.
Con : If I have to say something negative, food and liquor very expensive.
Had a fantastic time! Staff was more than courteous. Location perfect, beach access was convenient. Bungalow was definitely roomy for 4 girls. The only reason I would not recommend it for families is all of the nude photos in the hallway. Would not want to explain that to my boys!

Couple
Alan
Couple
Pro : It was different and artistic.
Con : Their were several additional fees/taxes at check out that were unexpected.
The hotel felt luxurious with excellent staff. The suite was beautiful but the pool area and gym felt small. Spa services were good.

Couple

Kudos to the La Meridien for providing a recyclables container and opening window/doors. The rooms all have corner wrap around windows with great views and sliding doors that open enough to let in fresh air. Very attractive European designed room with comfortable bed and seating.

Couple
Lynette from Honolulu,HI
Couple
Pro : Location and professional staff.
Con : Would have been nice to have a room refrigerator.
Great hotel with lovely views. Enjoyed sunning on the lanai. Proximity to the Embarcadero, Ferry Building and AT&T Park.

Couple
Julie from Tampa,FL
Couple
Pro : The room, view and bed.
Con : Spotty service, unprofessional staff, no wireless.

I wanted to like this hotel, but other than the concierge, I don't have much good to say. The doorman was so busy chatting up the valet that we opened our own doors and got our own cabs. The front desk, housekeeping and bellman didn't answer their phones, none for 10 minutes, forcing us to go down in person to get service. Two shabby towels, one robe, after a call, a 2nd robe was delivered, with a hole in the shoulder. One washcloth. Towel replacements seemed random. Amenities not replaced. On the 6th day we Q tips and cotton balls magically appeared for the first time. Used bar glasses not replaced. However, all the calls we made to get missing items gave the staff an opportunity to get tips. After the third day I wondered if that were purposeful. We've stayed in many hotels all over the world, this is the most unprofessional operation I've seen. Greasy tasting fries at the restaurant but waiter and room service staff was excellent at special needs.

Business Traveler
Brook from Harwick,PA
Business Traveler
Pro : Good location, clean, comfortable and upscale hotel.
Con : Front desk was unresponsive, did not follow-up.

A very nice upscale hotel in a great location. A modest exterior leads to an upscale lobby. Rooms are clean, comfortable and well maintained. Restaurant is upscale but pricey. Wait staff is excellent. Unfortunately the front desk personnel are consistently unreliable and do not follow-up on requests or commitments. It took a half day on the phone with accounting to get my bill correct.
