The rates at this hotel were quite reasonable compared to others in downtown SF. The staff was very personable, and they even offered a free glass of wine on check-in!

It must be mentioned that it is in a rather funky part of town that can be a bit scary at night, but it's only a block from the m...

Good, nice hotel. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and accommodating. Coffee and tea are available throughout the day.
The location is very central, but unfortunately it is not the best area. There are a lot of homeless people around the hotel and it is very noisy. The whole night you ...

Good place we booked it in hotels tonight. Very sketchy side street. WiFi broken the two nights we stayed. Little voucher for a few bucks off drinks at the bar. Underwhelming breakfast, but they have one. Amazing Dijon mustard seed with some apps.

Summary: great but not amazing! Good value!

Art Deco, old Hollywood themed boutique hotel with rough edges in a run down neighborhood. The rooms are serviceable, but the carpets and linens are long overdue for replacement. Make plans for breakfast, as the hotel provides only a bottle of water, an apple and a bizarre packaged pastry for breakf...

When I stayed at this hotel it was being remodeled, so the place was bad. I didn't like the room, actually I hate it. the breakfast is very simple, it shouldn't be called breakfast it looks like more a bag of snacks that someone give to your children to take to school and the area where this place i...

The advantage is that it is very accessible because it is in downtown. You can find restaurants and shopping places within 15 to 20 minutes on foot. The only advantage is this one. There is no air-conditioning system in the rooms and there is no refrigerator. It is only that it is clean. Whether the...

There is free coffee and tea in the morning and complimentary bottles of water. The only downside is it's at the beginning of the Tenderloin ...

I was in this hotel last week. Nice and very clean hotel. Rooms not very large but neat, clean and with various accessories. Friendly staff. Bar in the lobby. American breakfast. Free bottled water (given the high water costs it was a welcome gift). Very close to Union Square and the terminus of the...

Overall we were satisfied. We got a room with two double beds, the room was small and felt too packed also a bit old. Also the windows are single layer and we could hear the noise from the street. No free breakfast or any food, but they offer us some water. There is a bar for drinks and also has foo...

Dangerous neighborhood not suited for family s or romantic stays.

Although only a stones throw away from the popular Union Square, the hotel is situated on a road that is FULL of homeless drug users that gives you a real feeling that it s an unsafe area.

Rooms too small for families. Wifi cut out so often that it could be considered nonexistent (I used mobile data, which actually worked). "Resort fee" of $25/night supposedly was for cable and free wifi, but cable had limited channels available. Bathroom was too small, and there was no AC in room. T...

I liked the hotel but the area is really rough. I know this isn't the hotel's fault necassarly, but a deep systemic issue with San Francisco's homelessness and mass inequality. Nevertheless, it does impact your stay in San Francisco. As a new tourist to a city I use to live in, I'd love to see all t...
