The hotel itself was a very nice hotel for the money - it was clearly an old hotel, but it was in great shape and everything worked just fine. For the price - the rate was around $100 less per night for this hotel than most other hotels with comparable reviews - we would absolutely recommend it. Our hotel room... More

This is an older style hotel with character and basic services but done well. The location is good with a yen minute walk to Union Square shopping area. The hop on hop bus tours all have a pickup drop off there. There are many restaurants on the area and a mini mart across the road. Our room had a mini... More

This was so refreshing after a week in a cramped NY place. Huge room, recently refurbished, even a kitchenette with microwave. Centrally located but not too noisy at night, easy walk to Union Square, cable cars, shopping centre. The free continental breakfast was appreciated, also the free afternoon wines. Great wifi, friendly helpful staff, what more could you want?

This place exceeded our expectations. I was a little nervous despite the generally positive reviews because I knew it would be an old building and those types of lodgings aren't without problems. But upon walking into our room all doubts vanished. We got a suite and it was huge (for a hotel room) and everything was very clean and nicely... More

A welcoming place after a long-haul flight from Europe. VERY comfy beds, spacious bathroom, very clean and centrally located. The breakfast covered the basic needs, simple and friendly. Noise-level was within reason, considering the location in down-town SFO. Good restaurants near by. Union Square is within walking distance, as well as many other spots.

hotel was not on the list do conference hotels for a large international conference I attended recently in San Francisco. Reviews seemed generally positive and location near to the major venues used for the conference and to great dining, shopping and evening entertainment attracted me and I wasn't disappointed. The building has great character, service was efficient and friendly. I... More

Our eight floor room looked out on an air shaft with good light from above and away fro street noise. The grand lobby hosts a nice continental breakfast and a wine and cheese informal reception in the afternoon. We enjoyed chats with folks from around the US and the world. Dined at two outstanding restaurants within two blocks, but also... More

I was pleasantly surprised AGAIN to get a great price in this hotel. We were given room 610 in the back and it was great. The room was clean, the wine, cracker and cheese reception each night was nice, and the breakfast was enough to get us going in the morning. The location is outstanding, and the parking was only...

Charming hotel that doesn't get the special praises that better known hotels in SF do. Nonetheless, great staff, intimate atmosphere and close enough to everything to make staying there worth tracking the hotel down.

Stayed here for two days. Enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was fine, worked well with kids. Wine was fair( great for $10) good location some noise but your in the city! Would stay again. Be sure to check out the white horse bar down the street. Free popcorn and shuffle board for the kids wile you sip your pint.
