Staff was friendly and location was good. Room and bed were comfortable. Only complaint was that the WiFi could be spotty and would be slow during some times of the day. This made it difficult to work remotely.

Room was clean and quiet. Loved the nice touches with a portable fan, soaps, hair dryer, and more. The first night was rough as the room was very warm. The high was only 70 degrees, so I was surpised that the room stayed uncomfortably warm overnight. My room was on the backside and the sun shined in. Windows only open about 8 inches. The next few nights seemed a little better. I felt competely safe in this area.

Happy with this stay. Hotel was an excellent value for a short weekend getaway. Room was clean and well appointed. Charming historic accents with all the modern you'd expect (except AC, which was not needed - ceiling fan was a plus though). Extremely convenient to cable car (stops out front) and BART (Powell Station down the street). Bar area looked nice but was quite small. Free coffee throughout the day was awesome. Might get a little cramped after a couple days, but was perfect for a weekend city break. But even at that, how often are you just sitting at your hotel anyway? Solid 4 out of 5 stars.
