Never heard of it, but their portfolio of 46 properties is very impressive and includes (no surprise) seven in SF.
They sure concocted a weird name, though. Not sure it would evince the same things as "Ritz-Carlton," "Marriott" or even "Hilton." But better than "Motel 6" and "Holiday Inn."
Half the former residents have moved to Oregon, and a lot to Bend Specifically. The other half moved elsewhere. All that’s left are Homeless Druggies and Illegals.
“Jon E. Bortz is chairman and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. Alex Bastian is president and CEO of the Hotel Council of San Francisco.”
Excellent research! You followed the money!
Jon and Alex are writing for THE HILL. ‘NOUGH SAID.
Sounds like they cherry picked the tourist areas - Golden Gate Park, Fisherman’s Wharf, the Embarcadero and Financial district - city is vested in keeping those areas nice for cash carrying tourists.
The reporters obviously didn’t go to Market Street or the area around the Civic Center - I was there a couple of months ago - saw no police presence or “ambassadors,” - but I did see plenty of filthy homeless encamptments, raving mentally ill, stretches of closed businesses - and druggies shooting up on the street in plain view.
Too bad the article doesn’t have comments. Would’ve been interesting to see reader response to this baloney.
The Hill - rancid leftist propaganda. A waste of time to read anything of theirs.
At the very bottom...
“Jon E. Bortz is chairman and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. Alex Bastian is president and CEO of the Hotel Council of San Francisco.”
No wonder it’s at the bottom, eh?
Appears somebody has been polishing the rampant turds.
YOU can ALWAYS tell the HILL is doing propaganda when they turn off the comments to avoid being embarrassed...
Written by Jon E. Bortz, chairman and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. Alex Bastian is president and CEO of the Hotel Council of San Francisco.
He has to say this.
Greatest recovery since the gold run out!
I have heard it said throughout my career in industry, but never really witnessed it.....so you CAN polish a turd?
I nearly spit my ice tea out just reading the title.
This is akin to saying the economy is great!
Leftist journalists shitting on the sidewalks. Just step over it and move along. Believe what we say and not what you see, or smell.

Ashland has attracted them for decades.
They seem to love the small coastal towns.
Also, the Oregon ski resort areas/like Bend have attracted them for decades.
As long as grocers and retail keeps closing, this story is about a dead cat bounce.
“San Francisco is nowhere near as nice, friendly, decent, vibrant, clean, orderly, or fun as it was 20 years ago. “
You should have seen it 50 years ago.
Bozeman, Boise and Coeur d’Alene have been getting inundated with California transplants for years.
