Recently stayed there while traveling with my daughter. The room we had only had one queen sized bed which obviously wasn't going to work and the room was too small to allow the use of a roll away bed. I was switched to a room with a king sized bed which also had room for a roll away bed. All the staff were very helpful with this situation. The hotel is in a great location. A couple of blocks to Union Square and right across the street from Chinatown. There is a sidewalk cafe next door and a Starbucks right across the street. Most of the tourist attractions are about a $10.00 cab away. Took the cable car once, it was a bad idea. $5.00 each and packed it like Sardines. If the parking fees could be reduced it would be a good thing. $38.00 a night and $5.00 tax on top of that is a little steep. All in all, we had a really good time on our trip and really enjoyed staying at the Triton. All the staff that we encountered were very friendly and eager to help. Would stay again. Thanks!
Positives: Great location and very friendly and helpful staff.
Negatives: Small rooms and pricey parking fees.

First impression was great with helpful and friendly staff. The lobby is cool an inviting. Location is great being right outside China Town. Room was nice and although not huge was able to fit a hideaway. Great art work on the walls in the room and around the lobby. Would most certainly stay there again.
Positives: Had a great eco message without sacrifice in quality.
Negatives: Parking was expensive but expected.

They gave me a bad room at dark corner although I checked in at 2-3 pm early. The room is too small and there is no complimentary breakfast but from the hotel brochure, there should be. A bad stay at Triton.
Positives: Location.
Negatives: Room is too small, no complimentary breakfast, no parking.

Very convenient to San Francisco sights. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very quiet rooms. Unique decor. Comfortable, great nights sleep. Would definitely stay here again.
Positives: Art deco style very creative.
Negatives: Double room small for four (2 adults, 2 kids) but understandable for big city.

Hotel is fun and friendly. Great location at Chinatown entrance. Room was a little tight, but this may be normal for downtown San Francisco. Traveled with my husband and 18-month old son. They were willing to warm his bottles in the AM and before bedtime. A couple times I had to make a second call as they did not come after the first, but in general they were helpful in providing this service. I tipped and they always seemed happy to help.
Positives: Very friendly and helpful staff.
Negatives: Small rooms.

I absolutely loved this hotel. It is located at the Chinatown gate, which is a great central location in SF. The decor is funky and modern, but not tacky whatsoever. My king room was spacious enough and well-furnished. The staff was extremely friendly, and there is a complimentary wine hour between 5-6 pm every evening. What a gem!
Positives: Great dcor.
Negatives: No restaurant.

This hotel is super upscale but I never felt out of place. The lobby is loud at night due to the bar, a city hotspot, but I was on the 10th floor and slept peacefully every night. Luxurious!
Positives: The room decor was wonderful and the view was stunning.
Negatives: Hardly any amenities.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 24 Apr 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
The rooms are huge and the view I had was great. The bed was nice and comfortable and the bathroom/dressing area was a nice size. The restaurant was just mediocre and it was overpriced. I would stay here again but I wouldn't eat here.
Positives: The room was large, the bed was very large and comfortable, the view was great.
Negatives: The restaurants and room service were terribly overpriced for just average food.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 24 Apr 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Positives: The decor was modern and funky.
Negatives: Room was extremely small, no view.

Right away I knew I'd love this hotel zany, colorful lobby, friendly staff, interesting artwork even in the room, blown glass light fixtures every detail seemed to have a whimsical touch. Great location gateway to Chinatown but just a block or two from Union Square.
Positives: Zany, colorful, friendly.
Negatives: What's there not to like?

Hotel Triton is a fabulous place to stay on business or leisure. It is right next to the gates of Chinatown, and is walking distance to the great mall, restaurants, bars, shops, coffee shops, and of course Chinatown. If you are looking for a weekend of shopping or a place to stay that is affordable and in the city, this hotel is perfect for you. Valet service was on it, cabs are in abundance, the staff is excellent, and the rooms are unique and easily accessible. We highly recommend it.
Positives: Great location for shopping! The staff was excellent, and should be praised. They very helpful, polite, funny, and had great service attitude.
Negatives: It was just a little bit small, but it wasn't a problem.

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Triton. I would stay there again and have even recommended the hotel to my parents. The staff was very helpful and kind. The rooms were cozy and just right for two people. The location was great, just outside of Chinatown and a couple blocks away from shopping. All in all my stay was a wonderful experience.
Positives: The staff was very helpful and welcoming.
Negatives: The carpet in the hallways looked out of date.

Very comfortable, excellent location for sight seeing. Funky deco.
Positives: Really enjoyed the wine tasting hour!
Negatives: The rooms we both stayed in were comfortable but not the ones we thought. It was much smaller!

The Hotel Triton is just outside of the China Town entrance in San Francisco. It is centrally located, but it is not a great stay! The first room we got had holes in the wall and it needed a paint job to cover up the marks and dirty hand prints on it. The second room we got was better, although it was the eco friendly room, and also needed some paint touch up on the wall. It has yellow paint and was stressful to sleep in.
Positives: The staff was very helpful.
Negatives: The rooms they gave us both needed to be painted and one had holes in walls patched up.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 28 Mar 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
Hotel Triton exceeded our expectations. From the moment we entered the lobby, through the minute we checked out. The hotel was very clean. The decor was fun, but not too funky. The room was very comfortable, with everything one would need. The bed was heavenly. Coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoon. What else could you ask for. Oh, and the wonderful staff - always there to answer questions, or attend to a need. This is a keeper!
Positives: The staff was attentive, friendly, and competent.
Negatives: There wasn't one thing I did not like. Great hotel.
