Nice experience. It’s a basic/ typical room nothing fancy, no spectacular views, etc… however the room, the building & location were all clean and safe! Also, a good option If you’re looking for a quiet room to relax & sleep but not far from nice cafes/ restaurants, bars, shops, etc.

We had a great time! The room itself was nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. The location is amazing! It’s in the middle of the vibrant neighborhood of Russian Hill. We could walk to everything! Highly recommend.
