The Andrews Hotel is small. Some would say tiny with only 48 rooms. The lobby is a little beauty. All the things you might expect are there, just smaller versions. Check-in is efficient and quick. The desk clerks are professional and helpful. The staff are very knowledgeable about the area and will assist you with directions and recommendations.

The lobby of this hotel is really utilized. Newspapers, coffee, tea and water are always available. Guests sit in the comfortable furnishings, chatting, reading or enjoying a beverage.

Comfortable and attractive rooms

All rooms in The Andrews Hotel are comfortable, clean and well maintained. Wi-Fi is complimentary. Each room has a flat-screen television with satellite channel service. A ceiling fan and radiant heat provide temperature control. A large closet with a personal safe provide storage and security.

The bathrooms are spacious and have some of the 1905 floor tiles and fixtures. Top quality toiletries and plentiful towels are refreshed daily. Comfortable beds and linens invite you in for a good night’s sleep.

Enjoy a complimentary glass of wine during evening happy hour at Fino, the Italian restaurant next door. Or if you prefer, have coffee in the lobby and chat with other guests about your day’s adventures.

Room tip: Ask for a room at the back if you are a late sleeper to avoid the morning street noise.

Breakfast in bed, anyone?

Wake up each morning, step just outside your room and find complimentary breakfast served buffet style. Coffee, tea, fresh fruit, juice and pastries start your day. Return to your room for breakfast in bed or enjoy in the easy-chair.

Fino Ristorante and Bar

Next to The Andrews Hotel’s lobby is Fino Ristorante and Bar, one of San Francisco’s best-kept secrets. Serving fine Italian cuisine, the food is authentic, locally sourced and heaven sent. The superb service adds a perfect finish to a wonderful meal.

Moderately priced, this eatery and bar is frequented by neighborhood locals and hotel guests. Fino caters to many tastes and does them all perfectly. If you want a small plate or full dinner you won’t be disappointed by Fino. I enjoyed the evenings pasta special, cannellini and a tomato and basil salad. A glass of pinot noir was a delightful match for the meal.

Out and about in the area

Union Square is a two-block walk. There you’ll find world-famous shopping around the square and it is a marvelous people-watching spot as well. Catch a tour bus, cable car, Muni bus or taxi at locations around and near Union Square.

In all directions surrounding the hotel are restaurants, bistros, pubs and cafes. Ask at the desk for suggestions, they are happy to help.

Chinatown and Fisherman’s Wharf are popular attractions along with bay cruises and Alcatraz Island tours.

Public transportation is fast, efficient and cheap in San Francisco. Parking and driving are not. If you have a car, park it. Take the bus, cable car or train. Maps are available at the front desk and the staff will show you the route to get to any destination.
