• Friendly, accommodating staff. I also liked the hygiene products (brand of soap, shampoo).
• The rooms were a bit hot at times.

“This was a wonderful hotel with exceptional staff. The location was perfect, in the heart of the city. Hotel was beyond my expectations and I look forward to staying there in the future.”

• Cute, small, clean, nice staff - perfect size rooms for one person.

“The Baldwin is a really cute hotel in a great location. Close to BART, at the gates of China Town, etc. The hotel building is attractive and clean. The rooms, while very small, are very neat and clean. It was everything I needed for a business trip on my own. May not be great for a family as the rooms are so small, but would be a cute little romantic getaway place as long as you don't need too much space. The old-style bathroom was particularly cute! Very nice and helpful employees. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe there.”

• Great location, clean and friendly staff.

“This hotel has great location, Chinatown is located 2 minutes away and Union Square less than 10 minutes walk. It has friendly staff and great rooms and is located in a good neighborhood. Great for business travelers as well as where to stay when you have a family vacation.”

• Location was great. Close to everything and easy to get to.
• No A.C. in the rooms.

“This hotel is positioned in terms of location very well for travelers with any purpose. It was very noisy every night as each one seems to be emptied by more than one bin company. As their was no room A.C. you had no choice but to open the window for air and cooling and then have to listen to the noise all night, every night, which was a real shame and is a huge negative for what would otherwise be a highly recommended hotel.”

• Location and price.
• Noise level.

“This hotel is perfect on a budget. It's very close to Chinatown and just a block over from several bus lines that will get you everywhere a tourist needs to go. The hotel lacks AC, which is fine except to open the window means letting in a lot of street noise. Otherwise the rooms were clean, the location was awesome, the price is right, but it's definitely not the Ritz.”

• Location.
• I had to change rooms after 3 nights for the fourth night.

“This is a great value hotel. It was very clean. It is basically across the street from China Town, and is close to the cable cars, trolleys, etc. I recommend it for an inexpensive, basic place to stay in SF.”

• Very good location.
• Room was close to the noisy elevator.

“Room was clean and in an excellent location in downtown SF. No problems with the hotel staff. Only problem was that the elevator was extremely noisy if your room was close to it. It was a little difficult to sleep if you let it bother you. Overall I would stay at this hotel again.”

• For the price, the cleanliness, comfort, location, and staff were all excellent.
• The hotel could give customers the option to have sheets & towels changed for water saving measures.

“Although the hotel has a minimum of amenities, it does have the essentials such as an iron and desk. I got a very clean, quiet and comfortable room. Who needs a hotel restaurant when you're in San Francisco? The location was ideal for me since it was very near Bart, buses and the street train, yet away from the indigent areas. The staff was very friendly and fixed my slow tub drain in very good time. I'd definitely stay at the Baldwin again.”

“The Baldwin was easily accessible to the financial district and its out lying area was close to the main the embarcadero and many other areas of interest. The room was cozy and the claw foot tub forced me to relax and enjoy some quiet time however the shower was nothing more than a trickle not enough for a shower that felt clean and invigorating. The staff was helpful and discrete.”

• Room was surprisingly clean and nicely outfitted.
• The elevator door closed on me even though I was trying to hold it for a friend, and was pressing the 'door open' button.

“For the price I paid, I was not expecting much. When I arrived at the hotel, the desk person was friendly and professional. When I got to my room, I was surprised at how clean the room and the bathroom was, and also the bathroom looked as if it had been painted and outfitted with new tile recently. Also were nice linens and blankets on the bed. TV worked well. Shower has good water pressure. Minor issues: no wireless internet available in the rooms, but there is a computer near the front desk you can use for a charge. Also, hotel did not have a restaurant, although there are plenty close by. We went to san Francisco for the weekend and were primarily there to see the city, and this hotel was perfect for that. It is very close to all public transportation and sights. Also would be great for business traveler, if high speed internet access in the room is not important.”

• Great location, low price.
• Lack of cable channels.

“Very close to a couple of bus lines and pretty close to bart. If you are looking for a place to sleep, shower and keep your stuff- it is a great place. If you are looking for the Ritz Carlton, pony up more dollars. In sum, a great place for travelers on a budget.”
