Fodor's Review:
The lobby's colorful psychedelic mural, playful furniture, and striped carpeting create the whimsical setting for free morning coffee and tea, afternoon fresh cookies, hosted wine evening events, and an astrologer or tarot reader. The smallish rooms are painted pink and gold, with ergonomic desk chairs and flat-screen TVs, oddball light fixtures, and sinks outside the bathrooms. The fashion- and entertainment-industry regulars often ask for one of the celebrity-theme suites, such as the Carlos Santana, Jerry Garcia, or one designed by Kathy Griffin for her Bravo TV show, "My Life on the D List." Twenty-four "environmentally sensitive" rooms have water- and air-filtration systems and biodegradable soaps. All rooms have a 24-hour yoga channel to help you unwind.

My favorite hotel in my favorite city
Posted by KWL from Hong Kong on 3/9/08
From the moment the valet greets you as you pull up to the moment he hands you back the keys after you check out, this hotel is top notch. Service is accommodating, attentive and personalized. I have stayed here over 30 times, each stay lasting one week. Each time, I feel like royalty. The location is perfect - just outside the gate to Chinatown, and one block from Union Square.
The rooms, while small. are lavish and well-appointed. The staff go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable.
I thoroughly enjoy each and every visit, and very much look forward to my next visit.
We don't stay anywhere else...

I'm from the City, and my boyfriend and I have stayed at lots of hotels there over the last twelve years. Since about five years ago, though, the Hotel Triton has become the ONLY place we stay in San Francisco. We LOVE it! We go up at least once a year, usually for a week-long conference. The location, just outside of the Chinatown gate, couldn't be more convenient. We both enjoy the funky atmosphere and find it refreshing. It's funny how we always manage to find ourselves back at the hotel when they bring out the fresh-baked cookies (3p and 8p! White chocolate ones are the best!). I love to hang out in the lobby, sipping wine and having my fortune told during the hotel's complimentary wine tasting (starts at 5p!). The rooms are tpyical-size for a boutique hotel in San Francisco: space in the City is limited, and rooms are rarely suites. (If you want a giant room, stay at the Donatello.)However, the decor is fun, the bed is SUPER-comfy, and I always feel like I'm coming home when I walk in the front door. The staff are awesome, accomodating to the point of bending over backwards, and attentive. The only reason I gave the room a "4" is because the air conditioner (which works great) always takes me a few minutes to get used to. Otherwise, if you're up for some funk, fun, and a really comfortable place to use as your home base in the City, I hope you give the Triton a try!
