A chaotic check in followed by non-functioning AC left for an uncomfortable stay and I would not come back. Some cute design elements but this place has a long way to go on the hospitality front. They gave me a room by the trash areas so waking up to large trash bins moving around was not fun.

so cute & aesthetic. decent location (right around is like a city center, maybe not the nicest vibe in my opinion) but then 2 minute walk to china town which is amazing!!! very central!! The biggest thing was the noise, you could hear EVERYTHING. If you are a light sleeper, I do not recommend. It took me hours to fall asleep every night since it was so noisy. Other than that, I recommend!

We stayed at the Seattle Palihotel and loved it so we wanted to try the San Francisco one since they give vintage vibes. I love that the interior of the hotel does make you feel retro while it is aesthetically pleasing and clean. The lobby is very neat though small which we expected. This is an older hotel so don’t have the mindset that it is going to be like any other hotel chains. They have an elevator that is from 1910 and was really fun to experience. It was tiny but I am just grateful we didn’t have to climb 7 flights of stairs. The room was again very tiny but worked perfect for my husband and I. The bed and room was clean. Our room looked back at the building where we could just see pipes but honestly it was fine when the blinds were closed. Now for some things that put us off. We arrived at 1pm and couldn’t check in til 3pm. We had them hold our bags behind their magic curtain door. I needed to change so I asked to use a restroom. The front desk allowed me in through a door at the back of the hallway of the lobby, which lead to the hotels storage room, employee room I assumed as a few men were laying on couches back there, and a bathroom. The bathroom smelled strongly of urine and I was honestly afraid to touch anything back there. My recommendation is to just not use the lobby bathroom as it was a bit sketchy. The rooms AC was essentially non existent, so be prepared for the room to be hot. I couldn’t get the windows to open either which I assume for safety.

Quaint and peaceful stay. The staff are very accommodating and friendly! In terms of proximity, this area is very close to nearby neighborhoods (Chinatown, SoMA) so most of the main areas we visited were very walkable. If not, the bus and MUNI stations were close by. The building itself is old, but they keep it well-maintained (the elevator is unique; I never been in one like it! ) and the inside is decorated nicely. Didn't get the chance to check out the bar + restaurant during my stay but I most certainly will be returning in the future. Thank you Palihotel!

Adequate but Very Noisy

The hotel is clean and nicely decorated with friendly staff, however it is LOUD. You can hear every noise on the street and rooms are positioned with the bed right up to the wall facing the main road. We could also hear everything in the adjoining room, including the person staying in that room blasting music and singing at 6:30 am. It was as if he was in our room with us, the door provided no sound barrier. It is fine for a basic hotel, but ear plugs are a necessity, and even then you will likely hear noise.

The original room when we check in AC does not work. They don't have phone in the room, and I call front desk from my phone but no answer. we have to go back to lobby. they have 1 Elevator was old style took times to go up and down. The front desk changes our room right away but did not apologies or offer any service. We move luggage by ourselves. The new room was fine. Feel dusty on carpet and visible dust on furniture. Overnight the AC buzzing loud noise throughout the night. Around 6 am very loud construction noise however, we didn't report. Only thing I like is the bathroom is high ceiling have rainfall shower and didn't feel too cramp. Overall, you get what you pay for. It is alright for a hotel this price.
