staff support, the most embarrassing and uncomfortable stay i have ever had in any hotel and will definitely not stay here ever again. my partner and were having intimacy around 9-9:30 nothing wild. not sure if the beds are due for a renovation, beds to close to the walls or simply picky neighbors. we were SURPRISED & SCARED with a big KNOCK on the wall like 3 times guessing the bed was making too much noise. we stopped but few mine later around 20-25 min the manager with no questions asked said " you need to keep it down or we will need to ask you to leave!" i was shocked and asked what had happened he said all your neighbors all complaining. i was shocked because were not laud or making a scene. My problem and mad at the property is that they didn't asked me any questions and directly accused of something without any investigation plus i mentioned if it was the next-door neighbor since they knocked on the wall very hard. he said no everyone i was very upset and was honestly forced by the situation to stay there was not going to look for a hotel at 10pm at night. but most definitely will never recommend or be back at that property if there was 0 start i wil give them that made the customer feel in a very hostile environment due to one complaint and no investigation that is very poor service!!! not sure of the managers name but he's a skinny African American guy at the front desk that's all i can remember that he was the one that checked us in our room.

The on site restaurant and bar had great food and friendly staff. We had two appetizers, burrata and bruschetta and shared spinach ravioli. It was all excellent and the price way reasonable. The room was small but it was nice and the bed and pillows were comfortable.

It is an old, historic hotel located at the heart of the city. While this hotel could benefit from some maintenance and minor tweaks, the staff and service were great. Jennifer was very accommodating, and the staff in general were very friendly.

This was a last-minute booking after our initial hotel fell through. I was looking for a place in the San Francisco area that was close to the tourist spots and affordable. I read the reviews and the price wasn't terrible. I thought it would be fine for one night. The staff were super helpful and attentive, but upon entering the room, I noticed how old the hotel looks and feels. The bathroom felt uninviting and the bathtub looked disgusting, to the point where I couldn't shower barefoot. The beds felt sunken in. The A/C didn't work. It served its purpose, but I wouldn't book again. I thought it would be of better quality for the price. I could've just stayed at a hotel chain and gotten a better experience.

Absolutely loved this hotel. It is central to so many things. Right off Market Street with plenty to do and places to eat. The area around the hotel is a little run down but it’s because it’s downtown in a large city and right off of a major square. The outside of the hotel and lobby look a little tired but The rooms were more than expected. Modernized, quiet and comfy. The Kuerig and ceramic cups were an added treat for me - no drinking coffee out of a cheap paper cup. Hotel security is top notch Requiring your room key card to enter the hotel and scan to punch your floor number on the elevator. Definitely would choose this hotel again-it helped make our SF trip better!
