We had a very late check in due to flight delays and whomever was on staff was excellent! He handled check in quickly and escorted us to our room. The continental breakfast is more like a brunch! Bacon, eggs, breads, fruits. Far and above what we expected.

The staff was great, location is optimal, rooms are clean and maintained. You need to have mini fridges in your hotel. It’s the biggest disappointment on any trip I take when I am unable to save a meal or store a cold drink.

Friendly staff, felt safe and secure, and rooms were clean enough. It is an older building/elevator, but we only had to use the stairs once while the elevator wasn’t working. They also give just one physical key

Not as nice as the pictures present. Feels a bit run down, and in need of an upgrade to the bathrooms, bedrooms etc. The beds were comfy and fine. Overall its about what you would expect for staying in downtown SF.
