Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room, although small, was upgraded to a disabled room that was cleaner and quieter. The view from the room was great, but the facilities and size were not up to standard with the price. The service, while not as engaging as expected, still proved helpful overall.
The hotel offers cozy rooms beautifully decorated but slightly smaller than expected. More seating is needed to enhance comfort in the room. The service was caring overall but lacked engagement at times, especially at the bar. The location is perfectly situated for exploring Union Square and accessing favorite spots easily. Dining options were good but considered pricey for the quality. The facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient for exploring the city, although some areas could use a bit of renovation. The service was incredibly helpful, from the moment I arrived to the assistance provided by the concierge. The dining options were on the expensive side, but the food quality was good. The rooms, while possibly charming in the late 2000s, showed signs of wear and tear, with some maintenance issues. Overall, I would consider staying here again for its central location and helpful service.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were smaller than expected but very comfortable, suitable even for a family with young kids. The lack of duvet covers was a disappointment, making it feel more like a motel than a high-end hotel. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff and thoughtful amenities. The location was convenient, although the presence of homeless individuals in the area after 9 pm was a downside. Dining options were good but pricey. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel rooms were very pretty and comfortable, making for a welcoming and cozy stay enhanced by the charming wooden floors. A perfect choice for those seeking an ambassadorial experience. However, the service was less engaging than expected, although the staff remained helpful and friendly. The location was great, with easy access to key sights and a central position close to shops and restaurants. The dining experience was good but came at a high price point, lacking in value when compared to nearby alternatives.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The convenient location near Union Square and great views were highlights, but the small noisy rooms with poor views were disappointing. The service was friendly and helpful, but dining options were pricey and average.
The hotel has a lovely decor & nice feel about it, very close to Union Square, though be warned this area gets many homeless wanderers after 9 pm. Rooms are very very small and need upgrading, but at the front desk, they were helpful for a room changing.
The hotel has good finishes but the rooms are uncomfortably small with a quirky layout. While next to the linen closet, the bathroom lacks draw space making it hard to move with luggage in the extremely small room. However, the location is really in the center of San Francisco, steps away from Union Square's attractions and shopping, making it a bonus for pedestrians and trolley users.
I was delighted with my stay at this hotel. The room was luxurious as requested, and the service was courteous and very nice. The location couldn't have been better with premium shopping steps away, and the dining experience was excellent.
The hotel had a welcoming and cosy atmosphere, with spacious and surprisingly quiet rooms at 3 AM. However, the room layout felt a little cramped due to the narrow design. The service was helpful and friendly, with staff going above and beyond, but with some mixed experiences with food quality. The location was convenient for exploring nearby sites, with some minor drawbacks in room size on higher floors. The dining options were average and slightly overpriced. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor inconveniences.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was great, close to many attractions, but the room was too small for two people, and the price didn't match the size. The service had its ups and downs, with friendly door staff and concierge but rude encounters elsewhere. The dining was tasty but overpriced. The facilities were sufficient but nothing extraordinary.
The hotel rooms were clean and had the usual facilities, but they were quite small. The front desk staff wasn't very helpful regarding taxis, but the rooms were nice and spacious. The service was good overall, with some slow service at Scalas cafe, but the staff, especially Kyle, were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect in the center of the city, just a short walk from Union Square, surrounded by shops and restaurants. The dining options were a bit overpriced, but the Mediterranean food worked well for us. The hotel facilities were satisfactory.
