"Rooms didn’t have refrigerators or microwaves. Not sure how it’s classified as 4-star"

"Exactly what we were looking for-close to Union Sq. Felt very comfortable walking there. Hotel offers complimentary coffee nr lobby-the restaurant offered croissants for purchase, so perfect way to start day. Loved sitting in the comfortable couches and chairs in lobby. Would go back."

"I rated this property a 3 out of 5 due to these pros and cons. PRO: Price was affordable, Staff was friendly, Location was perfect, Outside facilities and needs readily available. CONS: No on site breakfast, Breakfast box was represented as breakfast and was only a glorified fruit box NEGATIVE, A/C was broken upon arrival. A fan was provided and the weather permitted us to keep our room but definately a NEGATIVE, Depending on the direction of travel area was less than desirable, Our room was OK but the carpet was dirty, stained, and the walls were covered with poorly layed wallpaper pealing in areas. Our room was in what appeared to be an old outside hotel added to the facility due to sliding doors to walkway. No useful evevator from the 1st to the 2nd building- Had to go up approx. 20 steps, Parking was quoted at an outragious price so we cancelled our rental. Overall: If you are looking for a lower budgeted hotel and area then this hotel is OK. Personnally we will NOT return due to the accomodations."

"The hotel is in a great location, very clean and good amenities. The parking was very steep at $100 which I felt was very high. The facility was very clean and the room was very comfortable."

"Staff was exceptionally helpful Especially Eric and Victor, the managers. Would come back anytime I’m in the coty"

"Really like this property. Staff is always great and accommodating. Rooms are clean and comfortable. "

"Please see my other review regarding the rats or mice that the hotel is obviously infested with. However there wasn't enough room to also add - the sinks and showers do not freely drain, there is currently no Cafe their as claimed (apparently closed for the season, but maybe it is because of the pest problem?), they do a coffee and cupcakes / pastries in the morning - the cupcakes are good but you could be waiting up to 25 mins for coffee to be refilled? Gym facilities are good. Safety of the neighbourhood is not great, it is right on the fringe of the tenderloin and I wouldnt recommend any hotels in this area if you are looking for easy vegetarian options - i was paying about $60-80 per day just to order in food. There is no kettle, microwave in the rooms and fridge doesnt come as standard, but can be requested."
