This is such a lovely hotel. Definitely will be staying there any time I'm in San Francisco. I saw some reviews that the rooms were small, but for one person they are more than ample. The closet was bigger than the one I have at home. :0) Everything a person could want is near the hotel, including stepping out the door and being 50 feet from Union Square.

The room was spacious and although looking over the cable car was quiet. Nice amenities in the bathroom and also candies in the room as well. The hotel has that old room vibe but I appreciated it. I was in/out for one night so didn't have the opportunity to experience other elements like the 2 for drinks at the bar but liked the free coffee in the morning

Room was small but clean... had some issues with some amenities in the room through out our stay but the maintenance staff should work on getting them all fixed after we left. The location was fantastic for us... easy to get to the BART, Trolley cars, etc. Was an easy walk to China Town and several other areas we wanted to see. Staff was nice if we engaged them but didn't really reach out to engage us.
