I do not recommend this hotel. There was a lot of dirt possibly mold around the windowsills, the blanket on the bed was frayed and looked quite old, and a curtain was torn all giving the feeling of neglect. The shower pressure was the only redeeming attribute--quite good. They use traditional keys, not electronic door access, that may make some people feel less safe. The location is fine and close to Union Square.

Quaint hotel with a lot of character. The 24/7 hotel was great, professional and friendly. The free continental breakfast was very good, and it's worthwhile.to stay just for the antique elevator. That said, rooms are very old and I had to leave the window open to get rid of the dusty smell. This did not bother me at all.

Lovely but felt more like a bed&breakfast than a hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was good, including eggs and sausages. Is not wheelchair friendly, otherwise is a cozy place located not too far from the main downtown shopping areas.

Quaint old hotel with elegance of yesteryear. Pretty French country touches with little paintings/murals in the rooms. Very comfortable room. Good location. We loved it and would stay again. They treated us nicely and upgraded us to a junior suite. An improvement they could do is make the breakfast a little more French/elegant. But overall it had good quality basics to start the day. We enjoyed this hotel.

Your hotel scared the heck out of us. Even once we were given a different room we considered leaving. It was only one night and an early flight so we suffered through. Breakfast was underwhelming but I did appreciate the cup of coffee. The staff member attending the breakfast station was attentive.
