So cute!! And such a great price. Everything about the hotel is so perfect and high quality! The rooms are adorable and bathrooms have diptyque products. The bar/lounge had really interesting drinks and also a live jazz performance in the evenings. Perfect location too! Right in the middle of union square. Public transport was super accessible from here. Highly recommend to anyone just trying to explore SF and wants to stay at a place that fits the vibe and elevates the experience.

This property was so cute, and I adored it. The property does not provide coffee cream, and I had to move the coffee maker to the floor, but I'm a die-hard coffee drinker. Overall, the property and staff were terrific.

The ceiling between rooms is not sound dampened. Can hear everyone come ago all night. The trash gets collected around 3:45am. That will be a strong wake up call. It is very noisy. It’s an older building that has some upgrades. Too bad they did not add any sound dampening to the windows or walls when they remodeled.

Great check in. It had been brought up that on our last visit there was a big storm/tornado warning and it was a fun experience but our ceiling had a tiny leak. (Not a huge deal at all) He decided to make our stay extra comfortable this time by giving us a free upgrade. Super friendly great staff. Prompt responses via the txt communication as well.

Great customer service!

The location was fantastic and the service was excellent. I didn’t take warm clothes with me, so I was very cold on my first night there. The next morning I requested a blanket and almost immediately they brought me a wonderful down comforter. I slept so good every night after that.

1. The hotel should have a listing of TV stations in every room. 2. The room was just the right size for me. Very well laid out, too. 3. There are no safety bars in the shower. The shower points straight down; a slight angle would help.
