This hotel is in a great location. The building is beautiful. Everything was very clean and lovely. We appreciated the coffee and croissants for breakfast. Nice bar and restaurant on-site. The way they make the competitive pricing work is by offering pretty small but very efficient rooms. We're an old married couple so we don't mind having to brush our teeth next to the bed, but this might not be for those who are looking for a more spacious and romantic setting. I'm sure there are larger rooms for those who want. We didn't have one, but there are certain rooms that would have amazing views of the bay. Their parking fee is $75, so we worked hard to make sure our rental car was empty and we found free overnight parking on the street. But this is how it goes with such a prime location. All told, we'd stay here again.

My wife and I have stayed in many San Francisco hotels, but this hotel is by far the one with the most charm and exemplary service than any that we have stayed in before. From the moment that we walked into the hotel and were pleasantly greeted by the staff, the expediency of the check-in process, and the continuing Positive attitudes of everyone that worked there, we were continually happy with our choice of combinations in the city. They even had an AI customer service process that when we asked if we could store some of our cold food items somewhere on their property, they promptly delivered a mini fridge to our room. We would absolutely stay in this hotel again and absolutely will be recommending this to all of our friends. The adjacent bar and restaurant also had great service and delicious food. We enjoyed not only the courteous and positive experience of the staff in the bar, but also enjoyed the pleasant conversation with their bartender, Sean. Another reason that we would stay there again.

If you are visiting SF without a car, this is a great hotel. You can walk within 5 min. to the following: muni subway, main bus terminal to gg bridge and Marin/Sonoma county, to BART, ferry terminal, cable cars to Chinatown, classic rail cars to fisherman’s warf, hop on hop off busses, cruise terminal. If you are vacationing ask for a bay view room because there are only a few. The other rooms are small and dark. I liked the exposed brick in this older building. Perry’s restaurant is downstairs. Free coffee and pastry in lovely in AM. Located in the middle of it all but quiet at night, no nightlife right in front. Of course you have easy access to UBER and driverless cars ( why not). Not best for large families as rooms are small. I will be back
