The room was very clean and in a great location. There is a lot of road noise, but it’s a city after all. Will definitely stay here again for a weekend visit to SF.

The beds were reasonably comfortable, and the overall cleanliness of the room was acceptable. The hotel’s location is excellent and provides convenient access to the surrounding area. However, these positive aspects were significantly undermined by several issues encountered during the stay. Most notably, the air-conditioning units produced a remarkably loud and continuous noise, which made it extremely difficult to sleep. This level of disturbance is incompatible with a restful environment and should be addressed urgently. A more concerning matter arose during the checkout process. The staff member who assisted us exhibited unexpectedly rude behavior. We requested permission to leave our small bags in the lobby while we went out for breakfast, particularly given that we were completing an early checkout. Initially, she agreed, but moments later retracted her approval without providing a clear explanation. When we indicated that we would instead keep the bags in the room until the standard checkout time of 11 a.m., she informed us that our checkout had already been processed. This response was both unhelpful and unnecessarily abrupt. Following a brief but uncomfortable exchange, she reluctantly agreed to reopen our room until the designated checkout time. Nonetheless, the interaction left a negative impression due to the lack of courtesy displayed.

The room was clean, although a bit smaller than expected with two queen beds. The staff were nice. The location is good. The beds were comfy. Almost everything was slightly better than I expected for the price. The room was everything I needed and all around a good experience. Would recommend.

The staff is amazing. My room was by the stairs and was the closest room to Lombard Street hence it was quite noisy. I did not find the bed overly comfortable and the same for the pillows. It was an average room at a competitive price hence the average rating.

Just one night here but the front desk was able to check me in into a room very early, before the 3pm check in. Room was very clean and modern. The area is really close to restaurants, bars and attractions. Parking was simple and we had no issues.

When I checked in the gentleman was kind and helpful because I had two other family member checking in just a bit later. He told me to take a picture of the parking rules etc... So I did. We went out for dinner came back and the woman at the desk greeted me with EXTREME attitude when I asked about the parking and I did not understand their map I took a picture of. Needless to say my husband went in and gave her a few words after watching the exchange thru the window and knowing it did not go well. Then we found out when one of the other family members had checked in, got her and she was very rude to them as well. So it was not just me. However, I will not stay here again because of her.
