The on site restaurant and bar had great food and friendly staff. We had two appetizers, burrata and bruschetta and shared spinach ravioli. It was all excellent and the price way reasonable. The room was small but it was nice and the bed and pillows were comfortable.

It is an old, historic hotel located at the heart of the city. While this hotel could benefit from some maintenance and minor tweaks, the staff and service were great. Jennifer was very accommodating, and the staff in general were very friendly.

This was a last-minute booking after our initial hotel fell through. I was looking for a place in the San Francisco area that was close to the tourist spots and affordable. I read the reviews and the price wasn't terrible. I thought it would be fine for one night. The staff were super helpful and attentive, but upon entering the room, I noticed how old the hotel looks and feels. The bathroom felt uninviting and the bathtub looked disgusting, to the point where I couldn't shower barefoot. The beds felt sunken in. The A/C didn't work. It served its purpose, but I wouldn't book again. I thought it would be of better quality for the price. I could've just stayed at a hotel chain and gotten a better experience.

Absolutely loved this hotel. It is central to so many things. Right off Market Street with plenty to do and places to eat. The area around the hotel is a little run down but it’s because it’s downtown in a large city and right off of a major square. The outside of the hotel and lobby look a little tired but The rooms were more than expected. Modernized, quiet and comfy. The Kuerig and ceramic cups were an added treat for me - no drinking coffee out of a cheap paper cup. Hotel security is top notch Requiring your room key card to enter the hotel and scan to punch your floor number on the elevator. Definitely would choose this hotel again-it helped make our SF trip better!
