The hotel's beat literary theme is fun. It's clean, quiet, in a safe neighborhood with a good (expensive) sushi bar around the corner and a diner down the street and a good coffee shop downstairs adjacent to the lobby. Bed is comfortable, TV is fine, and the price is usually reasonable. Cable cars and North Beach and Chinatown and City Center all within an easy wallk.

Loved our stay!

We had our first date in the lobby of this hotel 9 years ago. They made our stay comfortable and fun. Service was perfect. We loved getting a drink in the hotel bar (excellent cocktails) and hope to visit again soon.
