This is not a chain hotel so don't come here if you like chainness. Personally I believe that lack of chainness brings enjoyable, unique character. Staff are professional, responsive and responsible. Stay on an upper floor. The neighborhood features musicians and the dinging of street cars. No air conditioning. Open the window to cool off, maybe this is a problem in summer. Nice touches like an umbrella for the rain and a candy bowl. Very reasonably priced. Close to high quality shopping and restaurants. Only a slight uphill walk from the BART, very convenient.
