An ideal location .. close to Union Square, Chinatown, Embarcadero, restaurants, block from Powell cable car. The room was comfortable and staff responsive to queries. This is an older hotel and some areas are showing their age. We considered it part of the charm. Immediate area was relatively safe but, as in any big city, stay vigilant and know the areas to stay clear of. We would stay again!

I am pretty sure the very nice young lady working the swing shift was Amy. Amy was very pleasant & professional. Amy was efficient and very helpful in tracking something down for me. The young man check out was not friendly I asked a few questions and he just looked at me and never said a word. Maybe he is not a morning person. Didn’t catch his name. I do enjoy the room size and super comfy bed I fall and stay asleep like the summer of third grade. Ms.D

Relaxing music in the lobby to enjoy a hot drink before heading out in the morning was a nice touch. The old-time decor was charming. I've never spent any time in hotel lobbies, but this was a comfortable place to gather with our group in the mornings. The concierge was very polite, friendly and responsive.
