Amazing hotel! Walking distance to cable cars, tour buses. The front desk staff and concierge were super helpful in offering tips for what to see during our 2 days in San Francisco. Hotel is very nice, clean and a great place to relax after a long day of touring. We felt very safe walking around the hotel at night, as long as you are not walking into the Tenderloin area (which hotel staff did a good job at mentioning) you are good. Only thing I will mention is that we were able to hear lots of noise from our hotel window (cars passing by with loud music, sirens) but nothing that stopped us from having a good nights rest.

This hotel is lovely. Traveled as a couple and it was the perfect getaway. Restaurants are within walking distance and the room was beautifully updated. Simple things that make me happy like robes, extra towels and super comfy pillows were on point at this hotel. We also really enjoyed the bar on site and the DJ was so much fun. Highly recommend this hotel for an adult trip.
