Staff friendly, bed was comfy and felt warm. Location was close to union square and great shopping places. A lot of homeless around but that’s nothing to do with the hotel and the hotel take measures to keep guest safe.

The hotel was pleasant. Our rooms were joined. If you’re a family that needs joined rooms this is not the place to be. The joined rooms only have 1 king bed, it will only work if you have babies or small toddlers. The 1 room we had was a little worn down. The rug needs replacing & all the doors need to be replaced or at least oiled. They all squeak! Also our a/c did not work. You can open the windows it for security reasons it just cracks open for a little breeze. The office Manager Brian was very helpful & pleasant! He helped in securing us joined rooms & explaining what the had available. I was had the opportunity to meet him & he was just as pleasant in person! They do have rooms with 2 double beds but they are not joined. They also had the cheapest parking in the area! Everywhere else charged at least $85/night!.

Poor choice
Staff was extremely pleasant but my room was incredibly outdated and faced the very loud and somewhat dangerous 5th street. I checked out of hotel two days early. I would not recommend this hotel, especially if your room faces the 5th street side. I would like to get my two nights expenses back.

Room was overall fine & check in was easy. Wasn’t aware of the cost of the attached parking garage until after checkout. Multiple signs had different pricing posted on valet window. So knowing I had to pay an additional $45 to what I had already paid for the room was off putting. Most hotels I’ve stayed in SF haven’t been more than $20. Either way paying extra for parking at a hotel is always dissatisfying

The property was in a great location and near the rail for transportation. It is an older building but the facilities were great. The bed was very comfortable and had all amenities we needed. We did not dine at the hotel but there were restaurants within walking distance. The staff was very friendly and greeted you every time you came into the hotel. There we a few homeless people but they didn't bother us and what city doesn't have them. I felt safe walking at night. Great location for our needs. I would stay here again. Thank you!
