The hotel is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with friendly and professional staff. It also offers excellent value for the price. As it’s located in the heart of San Francisco, the surroundings can be a bit noisy and busy, which is part of the city’s vibrant atmosphere. That said, upgraded windows could make the rooms even more comfortable by reducing outside noise. Overall, a great stay for those who want good service and value in a central location.

Staff is great. This is a historic hotel which adds to the charm. It is city life so noise levels can increase as the day progresses.

Absolutely amazing property to stay at. They were so welcoming and accommodating. They really went out of their way for our engagement and I appreciate the staff wholeheartedly. The location had some iffy spots around but really made the best out of it with an amazing stay and awesome food / drinks near by!

It’s not necessarily a family spot due to the homeless situation right outside the hotel. There were several incidents occurring during our two nights, gun fire, constant sirens, homeless men screaming at 3 in the morning. Inside the hotel is average to decent. Staff and housekeepers were good.

I stayed in a single room and a double room. They were completely different! The single room was in much worse condition (peeling paint, old carpet, musty smell, and window on construction site), but the double room was lovely (spacious, a big bay window, updated washroom). Breakfast was underwhelming, location was good/central, but on the edge of a less-desirable area.

The smell in the room was horrible. The nice looking furniture is not comfortable and just takes space in the room. Everything is worn and not maintained.

We had a wonderful stay as a family of 4 at the hotel. The room was very generously-sized and the historic building quite lovely. We could have used another mug in the kitchen but other than that we had what we needed. There was street noise and it was a bit stuffy because there is no AC but those were small issues that didn’t disrupt our good time. The continental breakfast was useful to have food at hand and reduce costs. Very centrally located and we never felt unsafe. Similar to Seattle in that regard. All in all, a very affordable hotel that more than delivers on its promises.
