Great renovation. Spacious room. Beautiful lobby. Nice bar.

Very comfortable

There was very loud music blasting from the first floor Friday night. Not sure if there is a club next door or in the hotel, but it was very loud, and I couldn't sleep from midnight to 3 am. A warning would have been nice.

Conveniently located right next door to the Curran Theater. Spacious comfortable room.

hotel was clean, good value for downtown SF, walking distance to places,

The remodel they did to this property is wonderful! We’ve stayed here both before and after the remodel, and it is a great hotel to stay at. Convenient location near union square and the many theatres, staff is welcoming, and there is a great bar to have a drink in the evenings. Rooms were above clean, and valet parking was very fast!

Everyone was great and they even shipped some stuff we forgot in the room. That’s cool. Especially liked Cafe downstairs. Missing my morning Cappuccino.

My husband and I loved, loved, LOVED this hotel! The staff is so amazing and helpful. They are very welcoming. We are absolutely staying here again!
