Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at the hotel was filled with ups and downs. The fantastic location made up for some room issues and a less-than-ideal check-in experience. The service was friendly and attentive, but there were minor inconveniences with the facilities. Dining options were satisfying, and overall, it was decent value for money.
The hotel had comfortable and very spacious rooms, although they overlooked a courtyard with minimal natural light. The rooms were clean and big, but not quite as impressive as depicted in the photos. The service was really nice and welcoming, with friendly staff always eager to assist. The location was right in the center of Union Square, offering easy access to public transportation. The dining options were available in the hotel and the facilities were well-maintained.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and looked just like the pictures online. The staff was super friendly and provided excellent service. The location was perfect, right in front of the cable car line and very close to Powell St station. However, I was a bit disappointed by the limited dining options available.
The hotel's rooms are clean but minimal, with only a single window air conditioner and a distinct musty smell. The location is excellent in the heart of downtown San Francisco with easy access to public transportation. The service is super friendly, but the dining options are limited.
Upon arrival at the hotel, I noticed some issues with the smell in the corridors and my room, which was disappointing. The room showed signs of wear and tear and wasn't ready when I arrived, but the service truly made up for it. The staff, though, were very polite and helpful during my stay. The location of the hotel allowed me to explore various parts of San Francisco easily, especially being in the middle of a vibrant shopping area. Additionally, the historical feel of the hotel added a charming touch to my experience, with a lovely wine reception. However, the noise levels in the lobby area between 12 pm and 4 am were a drawback, even though it was convenient to Moscone and in a great neighborhood. Before leaving, I tried the organic section in Tads diner next door, which offered fresh food 24/7, making my dining experience convenient before departure. The facilities were decent, though not perfect, while the price for valet parking seemed a bit high compared to other options nearby.
Overall, my stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was excellent, right in the heart of a bustling area with easy access to shopping and attractions. The rooms were decent in terms of cleanliness but had some issues with the windows and air conditioning unit. The service was friendly and accommodating, but the dining options were somewhat limited. The facilities were satisfactory, though there were some drawbacks to consider.
The hotel offers stunning views over the cable car line, though it can get noisy. The rooms, while a bit musty and old, are cozy with the charming view. The service was friendly and helpful in planning activities, although the welcome could be warmer. The location is exceptional for shopping and attractions, even if the decor feels outdated. The dining options are limited, but the homemade bread is a savory treat. The facilities are satisfactory but could use modernization.
The hotel offered a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were small but beautiful, providing a quiet and welcoming stay. The service was great, with excellent wine evenings, but had a minor issue with deposits. The location was ideal, close to transportation and shopping. The dining experience included fresh food options around the clock. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
My stay at this hotel was exceptional! The rooms were modern, clean, and incredibly spacious with a lovely view of Powell Street. It provided the perfect last night in San Francisco, quiet and centrally located, equipped with all essentials like a safe deposit box, iron, flat-screen TV, and coffee making facilities.
The hotel offers nice rooms that made up for a musty smell, and it's conveniently located near shopping stores, restaurants, and the famous SF cable train. The service was outstanding, especially in helping us with discount tickets to our favorite museums. The central location is ideal for exploring the city, close to many attractions. The dining options were good, with a variety of choices for meals.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not as fancy as depicted in the photos, and the building's age meant steam filled up during showers, but the location in the heart of San Francisco was amazing with convenient access to shops and restaurants. The service from the staff, especially during a last-minute room change, was exceptional, though the original room size disappointment was disheartening.
I absolutely adored the boutique feeling and style of the hotel. The rooms, despite being a bit cramped with a tiny sink and potential lack of ventilation, were well-equipped with free safe deposit box, iron and ironing board, 32-inch flat-screen TV, coffee and tea making facilities, and a mini fridge. The exterior work being done by tradies outside was a minor inconvenience, but the charm of the hotel made up for it.
The hotel's room was extremely small to the point I had to walk sideways around the bed, and it was also dirty and smelly. However, the service was wonderful and gave us excellent tips. The location was close to all downtown amenities with easy access to the cable car and bus, and the dining had fresh food 24/7 and other essential options. The facilities were basic, and the price was not informed about additional charges like bottle water.
The hotel offers cozy but small rooms that were perfect for our needs. The happy hour is a must-try, although the room may not be as spacious as it appears in pictures. The service was centrally located and the staff were courteous, helpful, and friendly, even accommodating a late checkout option. The location is great, close to the cable car station and surrounded by stores and restaurants. The dining experience provides fresh food 24/7, catering to various tastes, with sushi being a highlight. The facilities are well-equipped, making the stay convenient and enjoyable.
The hotel is centrally located with ample dining and shopping options nearby. While the rooms are basic and a bit noisy due to the proximity to the cable car, our specific requests were accommodated. However, the rooms have various issues like a bad smell, direct AC airflow on the bed, and limited space. The service was exceptional, from assisting with tour tickets to finding discounts for museums. The hotel's location is ideal, offering convenience to explore the city. The dining options are limited, but the in-room dining is convenient. The facilities are satisfactory overall.
