Bar was fine, fresh cookies were a little too tempting and it was close to so many things. No need for a car at this hotel. Easy walk to both BART and the Trolley.

Great stay, clean and well appointed, they had space heaters, fan, ironing board, etc all in the room without asking. There was a big walk in closet which was great. Bed was really comfy. I loved that they had fresh popped popcorn in the lobby nightly and coffee 24/7 complementary- nice touch. Staff was friendly.

The room was spacious and spotless. It appeared to have been recently updated. Staff was very friendly and helpful.the location was also perfect- right next ro ynion square and a short walking distance to theaters and museums. I had two issues during the stay. First, the ceiling fan was not working when i arrived. We let staff know and it was quickly resolved. Second, after returning from a concert, I discovered that the television was not working. The front desk sent someone to come up and fix it. Unfortunately, the housekeeping/maintenance man was unable to fix it. I was told that i would receive a small discount because of this issue, but when i checked out, the front desk had not been informed. It is unclear if I will receive this credit or not. Had the televison been functional i would have given 5 stars
