Great location; incredible stay. Entire staff was super friendly and helpful. Room was impeccable in amenities and cleanliness. I’ve stayed in other Kimptons and the Esno did not disappoint.
Centrally located in the heart of Japantown you can get almost anywhere in San Francisco with a short bus ride. The hotel was quiet and comfortable, super friendly staff. We will definitely be staying here again for our future visits.

Hotel has good location and room was comfortable , clean and very quiet
The A/C worked great and kept temperature. The room was very clean and welcoming with a cute view of the nearby plaza breezeway to Japantown. This would be a great place to stay when they have festivals!
Love the Enso. Very clean and spacious rooms. Great being in Japantown with dining and shopping options. Nice to have parking in SF even if you have to pay for it. Would highly recommend!
Perfect central location to enjoy SF. Near Fillmore Street, which is great for restaurants and shopping. Easy public transporation out to museums. Easy walk to Presidio.

Great location and extremely friendly staff in the front and also the housekeeping.
Comfortable and clean hotel. Quality sheets and comforter on a comfortable bed.
It was a little noisy at 10pm but probably due to it being a Marathon weekend.
