Bad Service / Good Rooms

Not Great Service, But Nice Rooms The front desk staff consistently had 2 to 3 people present, but they acted as if they were each working solo. Any time assistance could have been offered, they seemed too preoccupied with chatting among themselves and came across as bothered by basic guest interactions. They appeared very self-involved and more focused on their own conversations than helping guests. One evening, I called to check if I had left an item behind. The phone was answered with a flat, almost annoyed “hello” with no mention of the hotel name, which made me wonder if I had even called the right number. When I inquired about the item, I was immediately told “no” without a pause, the kind of quick response that made it hard to believe they actually checked. During checkout, I was clearly struggling with multiple bags. Despite three staff members being present, one simply shouted from the desk, “Are you checking out?” Not one of them offered a bell cart or asked if I needed assistance. The same happened at check-in. I had plenty of luggage, but no offer of help. On my way out, I saw at least two unused bell carts just sitting in the small lobby. It was disappointing that no one had thought to offer one at either point in my stay. That said, the rooms themselves were great, and housekeeping was excellent. The woman who cleaned our room was kind, helpful, and went above and beyond when we needed extra items. We made sure to leave her a tip for her wonderful service

For a two day trip this was pretty good! pros: ease of check-in, location, beautiful lobby, elevator, house-keeping. the only thing that threw me for a loop was that there appeared to be some hair stuck to the window of the bathroom door, the AC unit was not very functional, and the room felt damp. The property was worth the price, but definitely some things to keep in mind when booking.

It was a very old building that clearly had a lot of history, which was interesting. The rooms were clean, but the bathrooms were incredibly small. The staff at the front desk were rude, gave me the wrong room when I paid additional for a bigger one, and didn't apologize afterwards. I found clothes belonging to a previous customer in the closet, which was a bit off putting. Overall, I wouldn't stay here again because there are so many other hotels nearby, and many in similar price ranges that have better service. I'd recommend the property hire front desk staff that are more polite, aren't overtly hostile to customers, and don't whisper snide comments to each other when a customer is standing right there. It wasn't worth my time addressing it to them, but thought I'd mention it for other customers that may not take kindly to it.

I booked this hotel because it said there was on site parking with limited height restrictions or offside parking for $35 a night when I got to the hotel they said there was no on-site parking. I had to pay $35 a night for offsite parking.

The folks at the desk, while ultimately helpful and nice, didn't feel all that interested in us or making us feel welcome. That was especially true Friday evening at check-in and later that evening and Saturday evening. Sunday evening desk guy was nicer.

Cool vintage feel in a great location. The bathroom was cramped and dated. Needs a deep clean, and the sink was insanely small.

Good value hotel in downtown SF with a 40$ parking fee per day. Good location and pet friendly! The room is a little small for 2 people and a dog, but it's clean and the bed was comfortable. The disadvantage is there is no fridge.

Funtime in SF

Very well located in Union Square. Rooms were very nice in clean. There’s a 24 hour café right around the corner if you want a late night food. It can be loud outside at times. Other than that it’s a great place to stay.
