Good value
Comfortable hotel in good location. Nice to have coffee and basic continental breakfast in morning, as well as wine and cheese in afternoon. Bathroom wallpaper was pretty dated, but bed and room were comfortable and good size for a city hotel. I would recommend as it was a good value.

Just posted ok…
The building is beautiful, the staff are polite, and valet was great.
The room we had needed to be repaired and updated. Bathroom pocket door was broke and could not be shut completely, the jacuzzi tub did NOT work, the bathroom wall paper was peeling. The bed was hard and not comfortable.
The room was very spacious, and the pillows were great.

Great stay!
The place is old but elegant and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and kind. They serve complimentary wine with cheese and crackers and the breakfast is simple but good. The common areas are always welcoming and nice to sit and enjoy. It is very well located, close the union square and china town. We loved it!

The hotel is charming; it has a European feel to it. The staff is friendly, and they had a little surprise for us on New Year's Eve that enhanced my stay. They also have a wine and cheese hour in addition to breakfast, which is a nice touch. While the hotel is in an older building and not recently renovated as many reviews state, it remains a charming hotel that is clean with friendly, helpful staff. I also enjoyed having a kitchen during my stay.

Nice hotel if you have to be in SF.
Very comfortable, pleasant hotel. Unfortunately I did not like San Francisco at all but that's not the hotel's fault. SF has a very serious problem with homeless people which is much worse than the last time i visited.

This property is very centrally located! A quick walk to union square. For such an old building, it is very well kept, clean and very comfortable beds!
The "free breakfast" could use an update and they did charge sales tax on the parking, which I'm not sure is legal...but, I guess since the price is "fair" for that area, this is one way to compensate the fee.

The hotel has an old-fashioned feel that's quite nice. The location is rather old as well, so some of the flooring can be creaky as well. Overall, it's still a cool place though.
