It’s a 100 year old hotel with great character. Room was very roomy for a downtown location and would highly recommend it. Staff were super friendly as well.
The room was a little small as it is an antique hotel. Great location and great service. The heater in my room didn't work & maintenance engineer was gone for the day, so they brought me a space heater that worked fine.
Really nice spot right in the heart of Union Square. Super comfortable king size bed, hotel was quiet. Free coffee in the morning and water throughout the day. Very nice gentlemen at the front desk, including Manfred, who is a gem of a man!
It is a lovely old hotel, very well maintained, just the rooms are small but very clean. The area around the hotel is great, shops, coffee shops, china town is near. We enjoy very much our stay there
The main reason to stay here is for the location. It is just in a great spot right off of Union Square.
It is a pretty old hotel, but it definitely makes up for it with the inexpensive rooms.
The water temperature fluctuates a little bit, but you can get used to it.
If your window is facing the side of another building, it can actually get noisy with the howling wind.
The hotel has an awesome water-filling station for your reusable water bottles in the lobby for hotel guests. You can get flavored waters or even waters with electrolytes, vitamins, etc.
Other than that, the room is cleaned pretty well.
Also, Manfred, at the front desk in the mornings, is very nice.
Very nice stay in heart of SF... we attended a show at the SF Playhouse, which is in the same building as the hotel. Could not have been more convenient! Also had a great dinner at Fino Italian Restaurant just down the street.
