Cute! But…

Room was not terribly clean. Bathroom floor had hair and hair bands from previous guests. The door to the room did not have any way to double lock it from the inside. As a woman traveling alone, I did not like this although the hotel itself seems very safe. The heater in the room didn’t work, which I did not know until I work up freezing in the middle of my last night’s stay. The pillows: 2 were fine, the other two were lumpy (possibly old down?) and terrible. The room looked nothing like the photos online. It was fine for two nights given the price, but it could be such a nicer place! The deal was great

We have stayed at many hotels in SF, so for the price of this hotel, we knew it would be on the older side. My only complaint would be the shower. It was covered in black mold. Pretty gross! I will say the breakfast was pleasantly good and especially for the price that it was included in the hotel cost.

I’d say this hotel is “okay” for its price range. The place is very very very old and it looks like it. The sheets clearly have been used significantly and it shows/feels. There’s lots more they can do to renovate or just upgrade the place but for the price range it’s kind of expected. Friendly service at check-in/front desk.

The included breakfast was a bit poor. It was adequate, but the eggs didn’t look very appetising and the bacon was half overdone and half undercooked. The croissants were dry and not made with real butter. The hotel food is a long way from its ‘French” identity pretends. The room was incredibly comfortable with a lovely bed, and it was well maintained through the whole stay. A very clean hotel. The style is charming, as is the old lift/elevator. The staff are lovely and helpful. It has good facilities. It’s in a really lovely location- which is super important.

Great location - tiny bathroom

Very clean hotel. Central location. Tiny bathroom and small room (no A/C but not ready needed ). Daily room service and very friendly staff. Overall not a bad place to stay. There is no hotel parking but a parking garage is across the street for $40/day.
