We stayed here for the last 8 nights and it was lovely. Great location for getting just about anywhere in the city, the staff (especially Adam!!!) were lovely and the hotel itself is charming. It shares space with the Elks Club and a Playhouse which was fun for the atmosphere and the interesting people coming and going. My partner and I took full advantage of the free sherry in the evenings when getting back from long days of exploring. There is a free water machine in the lobby to refill your bottles, which was also handy. Only criticism I would have would be that one elevator was out the whole visit which made for some long waits. Thank you again, and we miss you already, Adam!!!

Inexperienced and rude staff
The hotel has inexperienced staff that are rude. I booked a room up for my associate for three days and she was not aware that the check out day was today and so she didn’t take her stuff out of the room. The staff insinuated that she was trying to be sneaky and have a room for free. Now, how would that be possible? She just was unaware that the room was not booked for one other night. We wanted to add another night but the staff was so unfriendly and insulting. We had to check out immediately.

Picked this hotel because it had parking according to the description. And this is very crucial for downtown San Francisco. Parking is exclusively valet that cost extra. Which we obviously payed. Other then that very nice hotel and the restaurant where we had brunch was really good.

Great location. The San Francisco Playhouse theater group is in the same building so this is an excellent place for out of towners who want to enjoy a show. We've seen three of them now, all very enjoyable.

Can’t wait to go back!
This is a jewel of a hotel, perfectly situated right at Union Square. We loved the classic decor, and couldn’t believe the fact that we could see a live musical right inside the hotel, the SF Playhouse! Everyone at the front desk was gracious and helpful.

Not very comfortable.
Take note: the hotel does not have air conditioning. The check in clerk was using his cell phone and took an unacceptable amount of time to even acknowledge me. I’m not going to list the minor stuff.
