Extremely well priced in a great area right in the heart of Union Sq/San Francisco and the room was very clean with the bedding & towels having that laundry fresh room smell. Yes, the room was quite small but perfectly manageable. If you want a bigger room in SF, be prepared to pay five times more. Staff all super friendly. And all the complaints about a free - yes FREE!! - breakfast in a 2 * hotel are baffling. What do you expect - vintage champagne, lobster and caviar? Besides, you really should be eating at one on San Francisco's countless superb eateries instead of filling up on dry muffins and cornflakes. Great hotel, 5 * all the way.

Great location in walking distance of Healdsburg square. Nicely decorated is a modern minimalist style. Staying at a cottage with a living room was great for separation of space and kitchenette would be great if a guest wanted to cook. Fireplace was a great bonus!
