I always stay in hotels in this area when I come to SF for the location. This hotel was great. Old school charm with an ornate lobby. Staff couldn’t be nicer. Bed comfortable.

We came to the city for our vacation. We are very happy to stay in this hotel. The staffs there are very responsive and helpful. The breakfast was high quality. They offered storage for the luggage’s, this was a plus for us since we had a late flight after check out.
I definitely recommend this hotel to my friends if they are visiting the city.

New manager of hotel, Vince, couldn’t do enough for us. So friendly and accommodating. Older hotel with old world charm. Very clean and comfortable. Daily continental breakfast and afternoon wine and cheese reception. Junior suite was very roomy with kitchenette. No AC but fans were provided in suite.

The place was little late about overall.We found it absolutely charming.The staff was super nice is very clean.Every moment's helpful and we really had a great stay.
If we do return to san francisco I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend this hotel to anyone.
The area around is not so great.But when you step through the doors, it is clean when I felt safe.
Breakfast was served, it was simple, but it was fresh and everything tasted good.
Our room had a kitchenette and a murphy bed, which was perfect for us.I really thought this was a nice place to stay.I love the high ceilings and the extra hot water as well as the jedi.Tub which was a surprise.

The area is sketchy. We heard gun shots and ambulances all night long. Getting out of cars at night for valet we did not feel safe. The hotel is older and amenities are scarce but our room was nice- hot showers- good water pressure. Comfy beds and clean sheets. We did find mosquitos in the room but to be expected. Parking is pricey at $57 per night. Continental breakfast was basic but good.

Hotel is landmarked and the building is pretty but the place is older. The rooms are older and could use a refresh. It’s posturing like a fancy hotel (putting items in the tiny mini fridge but charging for them) but they don’t have electrical outlet covers in some places. The rooms are small, one person who doesn’t mind minimalism it was fine. The bed was comfy and the location was good for where I needed to be. Breakfast was just enough and I would stay again.

The hotel had charm but definitely outdated furniture that was poor quality. The floors were dirty in our room. It looked as if the room service only wiped down the room and not clean it. There was so much dust, including under the beds. The outside of the toilet was filthy, and there were stains on the furniture. If its wasn't for the charm, it would have made this experience awful.

Everything I had hoped for in a hotel. Historical, clean furnished nicely and we have a huge room. I highly recommend a stay here. We are off to explore the city.

I stayed here for 5 nights changing 2 rooms. I got an upgrade in my first stay and the room was really good. The second room at top floor was older. The building is pretty old, located in a good area, close to Unuon square and odd neighborhoods; the rooms are comfortable and clean. The serve a basic breakfast, that is not bad, in the hall

Very clean. Good house service. Very nice staff. Had better sleeps than many other hotels that I stayed before. Worth more than what it looks.

Hotel was a nice stay. It is an older building. Staff was friendly. TV quality was not the best but the room was clean. I stayed in the suite room, bed was comfy, bathroom was clean, kitchen was clean and had plates available for us to use. Overall it was a good stay. Only critique is the breakfast, it was just bread options, coffee, and some fruits. We were under the impression it would be a full breakfast option the look on my little sisters face was priceless when she saw the options so it gave me a good laugh.
