• Great location, friendly staff, more than adequate room.
• Parking is a little pricey.

“The hotel is obviously may years old, but the rooms and public areas have been modernized and are more than adequate. The location is great and I will be bringing my family back for another visit.”

• Location.
• The walls were paper thin. I couldn't sleep because of voices in room next door.

“Only for business travelers who can sleep through anything.”

• Just average, needs updating, painting.

“Nothing exciting about this hotel. Clean enough, but not well decorated and very clean. Parking was expensive. Just ok and I don't want to return.”

“This was a great hotel with a boutique flavor. The staff was courteous and the location was central to the best San Fran has to offer. I wasn't sure if this was going to be the best choice for a business trip, but it worked out great.”

• Extremely convenient to shopping and restaurants.
• There was no elevator to take us to the garage level, so we were forced to use a bellman.

“Great location for sightseeing, shopping, and dining. Our room was sort of small, but that was my only criticism. We didn't spend very much time in our room, so I would definitely stay there again. We used the hotel parking, but we could not get to or from the lot without dragging our luggage up or down stairs. When we left, we were forced to use a bellman.”

• Nice location.
• Confusing layout.

“It was nice, but the location of our room was strange. We had to go down a lobby, up a few stairs, and then get on an elevator. The layout was bizarre, and we actually had a difficult time trying to get back to the lobby.”

• The hotel was clean and the staff was very helpful.
• Internet service is not included. We were misinformed of the parking fee.

“Overall I was very satisfied with my stay. The hotel is located close to the square and a comfortable walk to the Moscone Center or Chinatown. There is a daily fee for internet service. Parking is $43/day.”

• The location is excellent.
• Our window faced other windows in very close proximity so we couldn't leave our blinds open at all.

“The location of this hotel is excellent--right off Union Square. It's a historic hotel so there are definitely some aspects of it that are not modern. That's not necessarily a bad thing but you need to be aware to know what to expect. Our windows were right over all the air conditioning machines so it was noisy. There were windows facing ours in very close proximity so we could not keep our blinds open at all unless we were okay with people seeing us. The room was comfortable but not luxurious.”

• Location central to union square shopping, dining and entertainment
• Street noise level high.

“For the money, this hotel was quite adequate. It was clean and the adjoining restaurant was quite good. The location was excellent--right off of union square and all of its activity. While this was great for convenience, it made for somewhat noisy evenings.”

• Staff was friendly and helpful.
• We had to climb stairs with our luggage to get to the elevator.

“It was a good and comfortable place to stay. Not perfect e.g., the telephone did not work in the room. Overall, for San Francisco it was a good value, clean and well kept. The only major negative was that we needed to climb several stairs with our luggage to get to the elevator.”

• It's location to the Bart and to shopping. They checked us in early and held our bags when we checked out so we could shop!
• The carpet was stained bathroom not as clean as I would have like.

“The location of the hotel was great it was easy to get to and the check in process was fast and easy. The hotel felt safe and the staff was nice.”

• The staff was great and helpful, the Daily Grill awesome.
• The floor in my room was filthy with someone's old make-up on the carpet.

“Moderate hotel, with very helpful and friendly service. Location was perfect for being without a car and seeing the sights. The room was kind of noisy, we could hear the family in the room above us running around with their kids at 6:00 AM, and the floor was gross with make-up stains. The upside was it was connected to the Daily Grill so room service and meals were great!”

• The staff at the hotel was very helpful and very friendly. I loved the location during the day.
• At night it was hard to sleep because of the noise. The bathroom in our bedroom had hair stuck to the walls and mold around the window.

“I loved the atmosphere of this hotel. The staff were very helpful when we had question and very friendly. Even the house keeping staff was very friendly and always greeted us when we would see them in the hall ways (very sweet of them). The staff in all seemed very happy. I loved the restaurant of the hotel, my breakfast was very good. The only reservation I have about staying there is how load it is at night (to be expected in the city). For a weekend getaway it's hard when we work lots of hours and on the go all the time then spending a weekend with hardly any sleep is not my cup of tea. I think a big improvement for this hotel is if they installed updated windows that would filter out the majority of the noise. But I¿m still open to staying there. Oh and if they would clean the hair of the wall of the bathroom would be nice also. These are just suggestions not complaining at all. We had allotted of fun and enjoyed ourselves and our stay and the handler.”

• It is a great location for the theatre and shopping down by union square.
• It didn't necessarily look like the pictures. The swimming pool was empty. Dining room closes before the theatre gets out.

“I thought the price was fantastic for the theatre area on Geary and for union square and downtown shopping. The rooms were quiet and clean. If going to the theatre you need to eat before you go because their dining room stops serving dinner at 10:15pm. You get a little lost in the hotel (no one to help you) going to the parking garage and you walk by an empty pool-that was not very inviting. Parking was $40/nite which is a real deal for that area of San Francisco.”

• Location.
• Beds are very small and the parking is outrageous.

“Hotel was great! Excellent location right next to the trolley and close to all so attractions. The beds are very small, I had to share a full with my friend and it was horrible, it was the smallest full I¿ve ever experienced. Overall if I were alone or had one guest to share a queen or king size bed with I¿d come back again, great hotel. But traveling as a group or family the hotel was cramped.”
