Quaint retro hotel
Quaint hotel with old world charm. Stayed in a Junior Suite with a fireplace and king bed. Incredibly quiet despite the busy street below and very comfortable bed. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location on Nob Hill with an easy walk to shopping and the embarcadero.

Awesome Hotel
I've stayed in expensive hotels, various ones in SF. The price and location was great as was the continental breakfast. I'm a foodie and the coffee was amazing as were the pastries. Coffee/tea available all day. I only went 1x to the late afternoon wine hour but it was great. Highly recommend. Ask for a room w an electric fireplace.

If you like historic inns this one is cozy with fireplaces in each room…The decor is French floral with a mod flair of 60s art throughout. Loved staying here! Very convenient to downtown and Union Square.

This was a great place to stay and the location was totally walkable. The only quirk is that while breakfast was good, the only hot option was oatmeal and there was no protein option except yogurt, not even peanut butter.

A charming hotel. They offer wine and cheese in the evening and groups or couples can sit together in separate alcoves or rooms. I would stay at this hotel again.

Wonderful experience
We had a fantastic stay! The location is fantastic, with transport nearby, and the cosy, stylish rooms were perfect for winter.
Afternoon wine hour was a highlight—Luis and his team were so friendly and welcoming. The only minor downside was check-in and check-out, where the front desk staff (different each time) didn’t make eye contact initially, which felt a bit impersonal. That said, it didn’t take away from an otherwise wonderful experience.
We’d happily stay again!
