The room was small but had character. Tastefully and comfortably furnished. On 2nd floor above gathering room but still quiet. While close to Union Square the hotel sits 1/2 block away from a very rough section of San Francisco- possibly the beginning of the tenderloin district. Very unsanitary conditions with lots of overt drug use. Not for kids. No coffee maker in the room. Really enjoy having that when available. There was a fridge we did not use. Valet Parking was outrageous. Used 5th and Mission garage. There was also a $22 fee tacked on at the end for wine tasting and internet use. We used neither. I always find it disheartening that, in San Francisco, the most wired city in the world, hotels charge for internet access. These hotels put out these low rates and then just keep tacking on charges until you wish you had just stayed at the Marriott.
We flew in early morning, way before check in. The staff was very helpful and since a room was available we were able to check in. We ate an amazing breakfast at Tratto. Which is attached to the hotel. You have to do dinner there. Their food is great. We then explored San Fransico. We started from The Marker to Chinatown. Kept walking to Coit tower, Crooked street/Lombard and then ate lunch at Fisherman's Wharf. We took the cable car back to union square to shop and walk back to our hotel for happy hour. The next day we rented a car down the street to go to Sonoma.
Pet friendly. Great hotel and very comfortable. Note Several block walk for grass for dog relief.
Enjoyed the hotel. The night clerk was very good at recommending places to eat. Hotel is fairly well located for the price paid
Queen bed was uncomfortable Room very small Decor was cute Valet took forever! No matter what time it was
Although there was a power outage in San Francisco when we arrived but were unable to check in. With all of that we still had to get dressed for a wedding. The hotel staff was very accommodating and helpful. Benji, the concierge, was extremely helpful and took our checked bags to our room, even before we returned from the wedding reception.
most important feature for a downtown hotel: It is quiet
The hotel rooms are outdated and our bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on in my life.
Hotel a nice large boutique hotel. Offered free upgrade to me at check in. Room was very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated.
Nice hotel. There is a daily service fee, but they have a free wine hour and free wifi.
Shower was dirty, Fire alarm battery was low but staff didn't have replacements so it beeped all night long. Staff was nice.
Nice hotel close to union square. Dog friendly is a plus. It was raining during our trip and hotel provided complementary nice big umbrellas. Hotel staff are very helpful. Great restrurant on site.
Hotel is nice, but a bit worn and in need of attention in some areas (furniture in lounge/lobby). Staff were wonderful and I did enjoy my stay. Felt safe and well cared for in downtown SF.
Took the family couldn't have had a better stay. Morning Coffee in the Parlour a nice touch.
Location is right in the middle of where you want to be. Close to Union Square shopping and close enough to the other tourist attractions. Staff was very friendly and extremely helpful with suggestions on things to do. Highly recommended.
Nice location. Poor TV choices. Smoke alarm battery died late in the evening. Batteries in safe were dead. Housekeeping missed my room the first day. Nice towels and linens. Room clean. Staff VERY friendly
the location is very convenient, close to Union Square, Nob Hill and Chinatown. The hotel offers free coffee in the morning and happy hour complimentary wine.
The Hotel employees were all courteous. The hotel itself was an older hotel , but in very good condition with lots of character .
Room very hot overnight. Junior suite upgrade was nice.
Pretty hotel but no amenities. They charge an amenities fee but they don't have any amenities in room. No coffee maker, Had to go down to lobby to get coffee. View of air conditioning unit. Room was very small, couldn't even open shutter shades to window.
