The ONLY good thing is the location of this hotel. The rooms are so small you cannot do anything in them at all, including unpack a suitcase. They are also feeling a little dated and they could do with a lick of paint. There is only 1 elevator and this is SO slow that you can seriously be waiting 10... More

This is my second visit at The Mosser. I appreciate its benefits even more the second time. I give it a rating of 5 because the benefits far outweigh the lack of fancy hotel amenities. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, if you are attending an event at the Moscone Center. The rooms are not... More

The rooms here are small, but if you travel light you will be just fine. Our room had its own bathroom, some rooms do not. The hotel has charm and is in a great location, close to transit and shopping. The muffins for breakfast were not very good, but there are restaurants close by. The staff was kind and very... More

OK - The only thign good about this hotel is the location. Its bang on Union Square and almost all the major attractions are accessible by foot o cable car. This ends up saving you a lot of money on taxi bills (SFO is not a great place to be on the road anyways !!!) The staff was downright rude... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review! We were very disappointed to hear about your stay with us. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about the size of the room due to the historical nature of the building. But, we have been exploring additional shelving and storage options. We do hope the rest of your... More

Good value for money. I really enjoyed the retro feel. Excellent service - I enjoyed the free muffins & coffee in the morning, and apples in the afternoon. Location is very central. Recommend it for the budget-minded traveler.

The Mosser Hotel was part of our Association's hotel choices for a recent meeting. I choose the hotel because it was the closest to the convention center and I didn't want to pay the 350+ for the Marrott. The hotel was very clean and neat. The rooms are very small like one would get in parts of Europe. My girl... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review! We do understand some of our rooms are smaller than others. Perhaps, next year you'll considering booking one of our larger deluxe rooms. But, we do appreciate your feedback and will try to improve in the areas possible. Much appreciated, Mosser Managent More
