The room was perfect for our family of 5. The kitchen was great, the beds super comfy and the location was super central. However the noise at night was really bad. Even with ear plugs the riff raff was a lot. We’d stay here again but would definitely insist on a higher level room away from the street.

This property borders the tenderloin neighborhood which is know for homelessness, drugs & crime. I didn't see this in any of the reviews I read. The valet service is subpar. The hotel contracts with a local garage but at busy times with traffic you may have to wait well over 30 min. We ended up finding a lot near by, negotiating a lower rate for the week & did self park.

This ended up being one of our favorite stays in SF ever. We loved the cozy historic atmosphere of the hotel. The staff customer service was truly exceptional from the front desk to the sweet house keepers. We were amazed by how kind all the staff was. Hotel is greatly located right down from Union square and surrounded by local restaurants to enjoy. Our suite was HUGE with a separate bedroom 2 Queen beds along with a Murphy bed in the living room. The full kitchen was a huge plus with bringing kids. We will definitely stay here again.
Lobby ceiling, beautiful historic detail.
Free Continental Breakfast every morning.

I gave it a good rating as it is clean and affordable. They offer a wine and cheese reception in the afternoon and a continental breakfast in the am. The lobby is beautiful. Valet parking is reasonable- for SF ($45) with in and out privileges. The rooms are clean (but dated), and the beds and pillows comfy. We had a kitchen unit with stove -frig-micro wave- kerig coffee & kitchen table separated from the room. The TV was a challenge as it came with no directions and then I noticed there was no phone to call the front desk-although phone instructions were on the desk.?? Found a wall phone in the bathroom later- but heard a dial tone dialed 0 to get the front desk and nothing happens. Used my cell to call the front desk only to find out she was the only one there and could not help. She suggested trying a few different channels to get the cable working. Channel 26 was the first one to give us a clear picture, you could not use the up & down arrows to go to another channel, had to enter each channel manually & there was no guide to let you know what channels were available. The rooms have no thermostats, but the temperature tolerable. The windows in the kitchen & the room actually open so we were able to get some fresh air as well. If you have never tried a bidet- this is your chance - bathroom had a nice size jetted tub &shower, double sinks, toilet & a bidet. There is a small market across the street and if you want a good Italian dinner I recommend Fino one block away.
