Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was on the small side with a seriously comfy bed, and it had a big closet with a great lighted mirror, although the view overlooked a 7-11 with some disturbances. The service was a bit slow, but the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The location was amazing, allowing for easy walks to various attractions, yet the cramped bathroom was a downside. The dining experience lacked certain amenities, but the grilled seafood was tasty.
I found this hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were small but well-equipped with everything we needed, though a bit cramped for two people. The bedding was cozy and the overall cleanliness and modern decor were impressive. The service was friendly and helpful, with a nice perk of a 20% discount at Lori's Diner. The location was conveniently close to Union Square with easy access to various attractions, but the area had some concerns regarding safety and homeless presence. The dining options were decent, especially with nearby restaurants, but not everything lived up to the website claims. Overall, a stay with its ups and downs.
The hotel is in a great location, close to Union Square and various attractions, but falls short on service and room size. The staff needs improvement and the rooms are tiny and outdated, making it difficult to move around comfortably for two people.
The hotel is conveniently located near Union Square, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms, however, are small and outdated, and the service lacks hospitality. The staff's behavior in front of guests was unprofessional, but the location is a plus for quick stays in San Francisco.
The hotel's rooms, though smaller than average, are well set out and modern, representing a substantial improvement from our last stay at Hotel Cartwright. The service, with friendly and efficient staff like Kevin and Edward, is top-notch. The location close to the historical cable car and Union Square offers a lovely experience, though the room size may be a downside. The dining options could be improved, but there are nearby eateries available. The hotel's facilities are convenient, and pet amenities are a bonus.
The hotel is a charming historic gem located in the heart of San Francisco. While the rooms are smaller than modern hotels, they offer a cozy and comfortable stay. The service is top-notch with friendly staff eager to assist with any needs. The location is perfect for exploring the city on foot, with major attractions within easy reach. Dining options are limited but vouchers for nearby eateries are a nice touch.
Although the room was very small, it was super clean. Unfortunately, the noise from other guests and the view over a brick wall just 2 feet away were quite disappointing. The staff was really nice and helpful, and the hotel's location near Union Square was a major highlight.
The hotel rooms were good, clean, and modern, but had some noise issues at night. The service was exceptional, making our mini family reunion a memorable experience. The location was amazing, with easy access to popular attractions. Dining options were limited due to renovations. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is fantastically convenient, right on Sutter Street by Union Square, offering easy access to all the delights of the area. The rooms are modern and comfy, featuring a great lighted mirror in the big closet. The staff is friendly and welcoming, although they didn't inform us about breakfast availability. The location is amazing, close to many popular sights, making it an ideal choice to stay in San Francisco.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean, they felt a bit dated and in need of refurbishment. On the bright side, we did receive an unexpected upgrade to a suite upon check-in, which was a pleasant surprise. The service was a bit hit or miss; although the staff were helpful and accommodating, there were instances where they were not very welcoming, especially in front of other guests. The location of the hotel was ideal for exploring the Financial District and was close to public transport, but it was a bit far from the cable car stop. The dining options were limited, with no fridge available in the room for breakfast basics, but the surrounding area had some good restaurant choices. Overall, the hotel offered value for money considering the amenities provided.
The hotel is conveniently located just one block from Union Square and three blocks from Powell station, making it a superb spot for exploring the city. The rooms, though a bit smaller than expected from the pictures, were clean and cozy, albeit a little tight for the price paid. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, with Edward at the front desk standing out for his warm hospitality. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facility could use a makeover for a more updated vibe.
