This place was great. For the price we paid for, approximately $350 for 4 days and 3 nights, we had a nice view of the city on the top floor and our own personal bathroom. The location was very convenient, it was close to a lot of nice little cafes, bars and restaurants; making it easier to travel on foot for us tourists. The guys there were nice, I believe we met the owner as well who was also nice to us. They really helped us out in a bind, last minute our reservations for another hotel was cancelled and we were left without a room once we arrived in San Francisco. Thank you for everything guys! We had such a great time in SF and Post Hotel contributed to our wonderful experience in this beautiful city. Note: Parking can be pricey, $30 for 18 hour parking, $50 for 24 hours with unlimited entry and exiting. Make sure you do your research and prepare yourself for these expenses before your arrival at hotels in SF. More importantly, remember to have fun!

Great hotel adjacent to Lake Louise with lots of character. Outstanding staff and the food in the Dining Room is spectacular. Very small gym and an indoor pool and steam room. Would love a sauna and cold plunge but either exist. Rooms have real fireplaces for the winter and small balconies where you can sit and enjoy the view. Great value for your dollar and free shuttle every 30 minutes to Lake Louise which we utilized. The rail line is adjacent to the hotel and it is loud and runs 24/7 when the train rolls through. If you are a light sleeper, prepare yourself! We will be going back!!

4 stars. The hotel is not the Hyatt, but I was pleasantly surprised considering price and other reviews. Shared bathrooms are decent. Room is fine. I can only give two suggestions, which would be to turn down the air freshener (powerful scent) down a bit and having an extra bedside outlet for phone laptop.
