My room was small, but it is good for a solo business trip. Hotel staff accommodated me for an early check-in and was friendly. It is located just in front of the giant Macy's store in Union Square, and safe and concenient for local dining and walking around. I would stay again.

The building is kind of shabby, with lots of scuffs, cracks, chipped paint, smells old in hallways, etc. Even the rug in the entryway needs help. The Internet wasn't adequate for the work I needed to get done. But the location is convenient, the room was clean, staff was good, and it was lower priced than most of the places I'd want to stay in SF. The thing that threw me was actually the reviews on Expedia, which called it amazing.

I stayed at this gem in the heart of downtown San Fran as part of my birthday trip on the West Coast. Everything was excellent about my stay here from the cleanliness, the beautiful historic decor, convenience and closeness to restaurants/attractions.

A very comfortable tourist hotel

This is a well-maintained tourist hotel. It is just a block up from Union Square, very near the Powell Street Muni/Bart stop on Market Street, so it is centrally located The room was very tidy and cozy. Internet was very reliable. They offer coffee and cookies and apples in the lobby 24/7. The bar has a happy hour that seems quite reasonable. There are very good restaurants within a reasonable walk, some of them classic, old school San Francisco restaurants, in business 50 or 100 years.
