Great location, historic hotel.
Posted 21-Sep-2017Amazing location. Great restaurants and shopping nearby. Staff friendly. Very clean. Comfy bed. Great view on the 10th floor. Take advantage of the happy hour in the restaurant right next door. Had an amazing little meal with oysters and dessert for a fraction of the price you would normally pay in this very expensive restaurant.

Thank you for your feedback. The hotel is situated in a Historic Building in SF. The hotel is planning an update this year and next. Unfortunately most boutique hotels in SF have no A/C, as well as no restaurant. This is the only hotel in SF which features a live theater, a Fine Dining establishment (Farallon), and the SF Elks Club. Thank you for your comments.

Tired
Posted 09-Sep-2017The hotel needs updating. I've only been to SF this one trip and the high was a record, however, every modern hotel should have AC! Our room needs paint and new furniture. The room looked tired and we left feeling tired.

Thank you for your comments. As most Boutique Hotels in SF, we do not have A/C. This unusually hot weather this past month is totally out of the ordinary. SF usually only gets a handful of days in the 80s and 90s. I'm sorry you had to suffer through the record heat without a/c. We are in the process of updating our rooms this year and next. Again, thank you for your feedback.

Nice hotel close to the city
Posted 05-Sep-2017We enjoyed our stay, the room was nice and the hotel was lovely. We stayed during the heatwave so an aircon and a mini fridge would have made the stay a lot more comfortable.

Hi Claire,
Thank you for your comments. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay here in spite of the record temperatures SF was experiencing. Very few Boutique Hotels in historic buildings in SF have air conditioners and I know exactly how you were feeling on those scorching hot days. We do have fridges upon request, as well as portable fans. Again, Claire, thank you for your feedback and we hope to see you here again...when it's not so hot.

Could have gotten a better hotel for a bit more. The area was horrible and the hotel looked horrible.

We are sorry to hear about your visit here. Our hotel is housed in a historic building and our location at Union Square is one of San Francisco's best locations and very safe as well. Again, we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay here.

Union Square
Posted 24-Aug-2017
Pros: The rooms were a generous size, bathroom clean. A bit of wear and tear but fine
Cons: It could use a fridge in the room
Location: Close to Union Square, Chinatown, Cable car stop. Easy to get transportation to Fisherman's Wharf.
Happy that the hotel was just outside the hustle bustle of Union Square, close to the action but quiet at night. It was easy to walk to restaurants, shops and to Chinatown
