The homeless people are so noisy they got into so many fights, the police had to come 2 times in that same night & ambulance also.
The Hotel overcharged the urban fee. Supposedly they refunded me, but we will see if that actually shows up on my card. Also charged me with a number of other fees that they couldn't explain. One was for parking a car that another guest in the room had already paid. The other charge, they could not even find where and why they charged me. Every staff member gave me a different answer each time I asked what was going on. The hotel needs to overhaul the training for the front desk. The incompetence is astounding for an expensive hotel in Civic Center San Francisco. I guess I should add that they are nice.... but wow! Really?
The hotel itself, bed, etc. was okay. The neighborhood was awful - apparently folks there think 3:00 am is the perfect time to start screaming at the top of the lungs, _every night_. The real kicker came _after_ the stay, when they snuck a "resort fee" charge onto my credit card. Ironically, had they just included that $25/night when I booked, rather than trying to slip it past me after the fact, I would've still booked the hotel, because it was close to the office and still quite inexpensive. But being weaselish about fees like this, rather than up-front, creates an awful customer experience.
This property is adorable! Very small, but quaint rooms. Nice lobby and great staff. They did a great job remodeling this little gem. The location is great. I've read other reviews and agree there is a homeless problem in the area. But after being in San Fran for a few days, it's really a San Fran problem. They are everywhere and is not the hotel's fault. NOTE: There is no A/C in the room. We stayed in April during an unseasonably warm period and the room was pretty warm. I couldn't imagine being there during the summer without a/c.

Dear guest I am sorry to hear that the urban fee caught you off guard, but the hotel does disclose this on all sites at time of booking. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the hotel overall and that the location was convenient.
Thank you for having stayed with us we hope your time in SF was memorable.

Dear Guest thank you for the positive review I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us, and enjoyed our remodeled rooms. Yes no hotel has no A/C thankfully San Francisco is not very seasonable and will can get all seasons in one day. A/C is rarely needed in SF.
Dear Guest thank you for having stayed and providing feed back.
