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.
