Clean but a bit tired. Very thin walls, you can hear everything in the hallway and other rooms (like a baby crying at 1am). Direct access to the rooms through the restaurant mae it not so safe (anyone can wander in) and evening staff who checked me in was not friendly:(. And no window unless you upgrade (window opens to central air vent which is shared with restaurant.

Place is eclectic but feels like Harry Potter Hotel. Elevator stopped working the first night. People are very friendly room is clean but very old updated but still very old Floor slant one way and then they also slat another way so when you’re in the bathroom, taking a shower, the shower door just stays open, but if you look past everything it’s kind of cool And it’s clean and the people are nice .

The hotel was super cute. We had a comfortable night here! Modern retro, comfortable lobby, I was upgraded to a suite. Great room with a living room that was large and comfortable bedroom. The star was that it had a deck! I couldn’t give more than 3 stars because there were a few negatives. Biggest negative was there’s no valet parking and no parking on site at all. Also no room service. Other Negatives were a very small bathroom and inflexible policy for late check out. I was denied an additional hour as they only allow one person per floor a courtesy. We’d consider staying again if our schedule aligns.

I went with this as it was the perfect location for my meetings, and rated "excellent"...I'm not sure where that rating came from: it's an old property, decadent with some thin layers of make up applied, and border line bed bug scary... don't, just don't.

Old drafty rooms. Room was directly above the restaurant on the warf side, which is a nice view, but someone came to riffle through the restaurants recycle bins, and was throwing glass bottles from their bins into the back of a truck for hours in the middle of the night.

This is a really nice place. It's a 1920's era hotel in excellent condition so the rooms aren't large but they're definitely adequate. All sorts of dining, shops, the ocean, and a trolley line are in walking distance. The trolley stops at all sorts of attractions. The hotel staff is very pleasant, efficient, and accommodating.

The location is perfect for Embarcadero walking and FiDi nearby - that's basically the only plus. The stink is noticeable in the lobby and bad in the room. In the elevator you feel asphyxiated. I didn't mind the tiny room because they were pretty clever arranging everything. Only one outlet in the bedroom; it's an older building. The bathroom fans are loud - especially in specific acoustic spots at the sink and shower. The staff try, but I think they know what kind of place they work. My room keys stopped working at 10am, even the new key reception gave me didn't work so maybe it's a suddenly wonky electronic lock? Next time I'll try elsewhere.
