Old and Smelly, But Well Located
This hotel is in a great location. However, its a VERY old hotel. It has a strong smell and dirty, heavy air. My allergies were on full blast staying there. A fire alarm went off when I was there and it was confusing on how to evacuate. One guest fell down the exterior fire escape and needed an ambulance. The hotel does not have any amenities except a tiny (and awkward) bar in the lobby. It doesnt even have a coffee machine in the room - you have to go to the lobby to get coffee.

Small but Cozy
Very nice hotel. Cute (albeit tiny) room. We were supposed to have a queen bed but it seemed awfully small and a lot more like a full/double size. Liked the big closet though. Good shower. My only complaint is that you can't control the temperature in the room. Although it was winter, we were overly warm and wished we could have turned the heat down. At least the window was able to be cracked and they provided a fan, which helped. The step up into the bathroom also scared me. I was terrified one of us was going to trip and fall onto the tile floor; we are clumsy and my boyfriend was already nursing a sprained ankle. We were very careful and luckily did not trip and fall!

A great place to stay in San Francisco
Everything was just as it appeared in the pictures for this property. We had a quiet room at the back of the building. The bed and pillows were great and we bothe slept very well. Also. the location and access to public transportation was excellent.

In the middle of everything
This is a charming, classic, older hotel located "in the middle of everything!" Every member of the hotel staff was great and the building is really well maintained. When reserving our room, we requested a room looking out onto Union Square to fully enjoy the holiday excitement!

This was an absolute throwback to yesteryear of San Francisco. The hospitality and decor was so nice. The complementary cookies and filtered water, as well as candy and such in the rooms, were all really nice touches to what was an over-the-top experience.

Close to EVERYTHING!
Staff was super helpful and friendly. Big space (suite), nice hot shower, comfy bed. Only improvement would be to replace the carpeting (carpeting is gross in general). Loved the cookies and the popcorn. Took Waymo - super fun.

Great stay for a great price
I come here annually with my sisters on Black Friday and have found their service to be warm and kind. Beds are comfy. Rooms are small, but all that we need. Can’t beat the location for the price.

Highly Recommend this Historic Hotel
This hotel is wonderful; great location, clean, friendly staff. The only downside was the elevators are a bit slow and small, but considering this is a historic hotel expanding the elevators would be difficult. I’m glad the hotel owners has kept its original ambiance.
